What I really want to ask Paul Sherwin is why he pronounces Europcar as UrrrrroP-Car??
We all know this European Based daily car rental/hire business are simply called Europcar, so why the strange pronunciation?
It’s a real classic listening to Paul and Phil in action – last night Matty Goss got the win according to PS, then the penny dropped, arh Cavendish!
For all the jibes, they do have a might hard job, and they do pretty well at talking utter b0ll0cks for the most part……..
We all love it though! |
And Leo-pard and instead of Leppard. |
'lay-o-pard' is the correct pronunciation so they have it spot on. it was an instruction on a press release at the launch of the team that that is how they wished the team name to be said.
I'm not sure moviestar wanted their name to be pronounced mow-vee-star though. |
Movistar is pronouced Mobistar, Muchas Gracias cabron _________________ "I could have done this job myself in five minutes, but as things turned out I had to spend two days trying to find out why it had taken someone else three weeks to do it wrong." |

I always thought the Americans took our Phil/Paul commentary, but according to Ned Boultings book, Phil/Paul are commentating for a US cable company and we actually take theirs. Explains the use of the US bias of recent years.... _________________ "These are for you McNulty" |

A bit of classic Sherwen from stage 4:
"And he'll sit back now because there won't be any more attacks- oh and there goes another attack!"
I still love their commentary though. _________________ If another cyclist nods/waves/says hello, ignore them: to give any form of acknowledgement is a sign of weakness. |

I once saw Phil "voice of cycling" Liggett walking down Fetter Lane (or was it New Fetter Lane? ).
He looked very VERY cross about something.
