Three years ago he was granted citizenship. He ran for GB in the European Championships last time.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say Brendan was completely and utterly wrong. Perhaps they will drop him soon from the commentary team? Most of the events he comments on are promoted by his own company. That is a ridiculous conflict of interest.<BR/><BR/>He would never for instance say - "the women's field is rather modest this time, so our girls have a chance" though there have been those times.Chris Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15679067503215414300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-12044440554816652452008-08-26T11:12:00.000+01:002008-08-26T11:12:00.000+01:00BHTRadio Four is very boring.Radio Five Live does ...BHT<BR/>Radio Four is very boring.<BR/>Radio Five Live does news in a more accesible way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-29908948350256186602008-08-25T23:32:00.000+01:002008-08-25T23:32:00.000+01:00i thought that the bbc coverage was not very good....i thought that the bbc coverage was not very good.<BR/>many sports were overlooked.<BR/>Eurosport had much better coverage.<BR/>The bbc used to be good at sports but now they seem obsessed with having "personalities" talking talking talking.<BR/> i pay my TV tax regularly and expect something a bit better for my money unfortunately they take my money but never ask me how it should be spent(certainly not £18 million on Jonathon Ross).<BR/>The Tv tax is still good value compared with sky and others, however it is not worth paying for endless "strictly come choir practice andrew lloyd weber adverts talent(less) shows lottery ticket promos on ice"<BR/>bbc one and two, radio four ,local radio(without the pop music) and the world service is all we need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-26559740912542181872008-08-25T00:41:00.001+01:002008-08-25T00:41:00.001+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-38058747092256611332008-08-25T00:41:00.000+01:002008-08-25T00:41:00.000+01:00How is it an "ex-Ethipian" citizen can suddenly tu...How is it an "ex-Ethipian" citizen can suddenly turn up as a Brit.<BR/><BR/>Are you suggesting Britain does a Lottery funding deal on all Beijing's Gold-winning athletes and agrees to make them Brits?<BR/><BR/>Another mad socialist idea. Suggest you start working on Brown's personality. That's an Olympic task to turn him into something with a reasonable genetic pattern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
