philmayfield 6,136 Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 You certainly couldn’t beat that one. Probably make mincemeat out of you; unless you could charm her. Would you want to though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,146 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 And now, a slight deviation. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the amount of commentators we've got out in Tokyo. It would appear to be 2 or 3 different ones at every event, and that's not including the pundits back in the studio, who dissect and have a post mortem each time. It seems to me that we've got as many commentators as we have competitors. Just been watching a bit of gymnastics, watching the parallel bars and there's four commentators, including Matt Baker, the Countryfile bloke, (didn't know he was an expert on gymnastics). Who pays for 'em all,that's wot I'd like to know? Yours, Disgruntled of Tunbridge Wells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha 176 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Jobs for the boys and girls and anyone who can muscle in to get into the act. Far too much mouth from so many for so few competitors. Who's the (BBC) male commentator who screams down the microphone. Totally unnecessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,146 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Not disputing that Matt is a fit bloke, just using him as an example. There just seems to be a whole army of folks on jollies, all spouting off the same stuff while they're on the gravy train. It were the same during Euro 2020 football, loads of talkers and a Jury of coroners back in the studio, analysing the aftermatch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 The BBC WOKE fest. Too many unqualified "experts" but the numbers need to be increased for the sake of PC. Experience doesn't count anymore it's just making the face fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 WOKE to me is what happens when your hungry moggie jumps on you at 2am to acquaint you with the fact their dish needs filling! Black, white, tabby, tortie, ginger....they all do it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,146 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Catfan, please can explain to me what is meant by WOKE? And I don’t mean what time you get out of bed. I'm afraid I don't understand when folks refer to Luvvies, lefties and Box tickers ! Am I getting old? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Definition for Beekay: The Merriam-Webster dictionary defined "woke" as meaning a state of being "aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)." Which is what I said earlier...kitties of all colours, genders, ages and abilities, drawing attention of their human to important issues....MY DISH IS EMPTY! IT IS YOUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND OBLIGATION TO GET OUT OF YOUR NICE WARM BED AND FEED ME. NOT TO DO SO IS UNJUST AND MORALLY WRONG! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Broadly speaking, all people should be treated fairly regardless of their race, religion, colour of skin, gender, ability or anything else which seems to put people into various categories. Sometimes this may be difficult to do especially if you have been brought up in a society where people who look, act or speak differently from you are not treated fairly. Being WOKE means that you are - or have become - aware that all people SHOULD be treated fairly, and you want to be part of this change in attitude and outlook. I am WOKE ….

Beekay 5,146 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Good Grief!! Now I wished I'd never asked, cos' I'm still no wiser. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 As I see it. The UK is 10% BAME but the BBC demand much more than 10% BAME faces on TV etc. Portion & top jobs should be down to the best person qualified for the job NOT skin colour which decides.
