To want to slap Claire Balding around the face with wet lettuce??

[JumpingThroughMoreHoops]

C4 is using commentators and spokes-people with disabilities that reflect some of the disabilities incurred by the participants.

In some cases, they are considerably better than the mainstream sports presenters.

Ade Adepitan for example has been a brilliant commentator this evening. Informed, knows his subject inside out, has a good grasp of human biology but he's witty, funny, personable, watchable etc

Unlike Claire Balding who should be taken out and shot for getting overly excited by Sophie Christiansen (equestrian gold), who has a fairly obvious form of cerebral palsy and announcing "she's not just just {obvious gap of words} she's got a masters in mathematics, she's intelligent too".

What Pistorius controversy?

Also am loving the lack of 'a' in the thread title. '...with wet lettuce' just sounds so....

yabu, it should be a misted lettuce... apparently..

Oh fuck me I bloody love all the colours, every single one, the whole beautiful rainbow of management speakisms.

Well I'm offended at the new thread title because I think it's a waste of a good lettuce.

Unless of course you're going to eat the wet lettuce after you've smacked Claire Balding around the face with it.

But then if you do, that'll just make you a bit weird won't it?

Kind of like a fetish lettuce?

I suppose you could always flog it on ebay afterwards....

LadyBE Oscars pissed that the Brazilian had better/newer/faster blades.

YANBU.

She's fucking horrible.

Lol...Mumsnet is funny at times...

Oscar wouldn't do that
He's luffly.

I love CB

How much do you reckon a lettuce what has slapped a celeb (is CB a celeb?) would go for?

Actually I think it would be weirder to market the lettuce than eat it.

I prefer Cos lettuce, they are less wet and are very economic as they don't go instantly brown in my fridge like most sainsbo lettuce.

I do not want to wop Clare with one. Only smother it in Caesar dressing.

Don't be cruel to a vegetabuel,
Don't forget a lettuce has a heart.

I dunno, lettuce think about that for a minute....

Sorry

Tyranno - you do realise it was MNHQ who titled the thread as it is?

Jumping made no reference to lettuce in her thread title.

Now if it were Bono, I'd happily shove a heart of romaine right up his tax dodging arse.

There is a maximum length for the 'blades' calculated on the height of the runner. The Brazillian lad chooses to have legal, shorter blades - he doesn't like the maximum length blades. There isn't a minimum length.

Pistorious is complaining about it. Unsportsman like IMHO. But I'm sure he'll up his game in the 200m.

I bought a lettuce from Lidl today, in a pot with its own roots and everything, and it's sitting on my window sill and it's fucking brown already. And the edges have gone all wrinkly. Am going to stuff it in DS' sandwich tomorrow and I know he'll peel the bread open and pull this face and throw it at the cat

Oh leaf it out....

Lady BE tis true. I HEART Oscar too, but he's got a proper bug up.

Arf at 'don't forget a lettuce has a heart'

Oh leaf it out....

Why? Just cos you said so?

He's going to throw his face at the cat???

Oh leaf it out....

Watercress pun.

Geddit?

Watercress pun.

ARF!
