Finding it hard to get past Mabel and Olive

Watching France v Scotland with the lovely Andrew Cotter commentating but am finding it very hard to get past Mabel and Olive! They have cheered me up immensely during lockdown.

oh, love his commentory

Seriouslymole · 26/03/2021 21:30

Me too - but I can just hear him saying “Mabel, tasting absolutely nothing”! It’s not a bad thing, it’s made me smile this evening.

I loved his Mabel and Olive videos. He's my favourite commentator. Has a good turn of phrase and is very good at staying neutral.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 26/03/2021 21:34

So sad that he only did a few, they were the best!

We're running about 25 minutes behind what with one thing and another and the joy of Pause Button... Mabel and Olive were the absolute best thing to come out of Lockdown One.

Ha I just casually dropped this into conversation and now DH thinks I'm an expert on rugby commentary. Loved those videos, feels a fond early covid memory

TokyoSushi · 26/03/2021 21:38

Yes! I've just said this to DH, really lovely to hear him doing his 'proper job' again, but Olive & Mabel is just beautiful, so very innocent and lovely among all the bleakness!

FudgeFlake · 26/03/2021 21:38

And even DP who is utterly obsessed with rugby to the exclusion of anything that isn't directly related, noticed that there was a voice that was familiar about something not to do with rugby but couldn't work out precisely what.

Seriouslymole · 26/03/2021 21:39

Yes definitely the best thing out of lockdown. He could merrily have done them continuously since and made people very happy!

He has a video of them he's released today! twitter.com/mrandrewcotter/status/1374795796282015753?s=21

A really beautiful and expressive voice too

PersonaNonGarter · 26/03/2021 21:47

You can keep Matt Hancock. Andrew Cotter is my crush.

Seriouslymole · 26/03/2021 21:54

Thanks for the new one - we enjoyed that!

Loved that video. Grin

And what a crazy match!

Edna311 · 26/03/2021 22:18

Great match! And foetid swamp was my favourite.

Inthevirtualwaitingroom · 26/03/2021 22:25

mabel and olive were just perfect.

Timeandtune · 26/03/2021 22:27

I can highly recommend the book. Really well written and uplifting.

Cherrysoup · 26/03/2021 22:39

@MNWorldisCrazy thank you for linking that, I loved his previous videos. He should definitely do more!

SirB0bby · 26/03/2021 22:42

I said this exact thing earlier! Kept expecting him to say "bad dog"!

UCOinaUCG · 26/03/2021 22:42

My DH played golf with Andrew Cotter. Says he was absolutely lovely. I love Olive and Mabel. I got the book for Christmas. I too have a Labrador and can relate.

I think Olive and Mabel are his proper job now!
Fannybawzzz · 26/03/2021 22:51

I went to school with him and he was a nice chap. Also easy on the eye!

He does, regularly on his Twitter account

TonTonMacoute · 27/03/2021 15:09

I love Andrew Cotter, he's so funny.

Once, when France were making a substitution, he said 'France are bringing on what appears to be the entire population of Samoa'.

He described someone last night as being 'of a sizeable acreage'.

The O and M videos were genius.
