Why has the first taken over from the second?
And have you noticed how often the interviewee looks off camera, sort of down the street looking for inspiration.

Totally true...one of our comedy shows takes the piss out of interviews by
sending 2 roving reporters out who just sprout out some complete crap which makes no sense what so ever

The players still give the same answers....because they are Robots these days not peoplel with real opinions

The only guy that said "what was that dribble about then" was the boxer Anthony Mundine who's pretty sharp compared to most Footballers..possibly bevause he doesn't drink?

Another one of our Footballers Jason Akermanis bucks the trend and says what he thinks...the fans love it...real answers not some tired well worn cliche

cheers
B....OZ

Another annoying one is boxers at the end of a fight, 'I knew I had him going' is a fave as well as 'I'm ready for a title shot' after a meaningless fight.
Randy 'Tex' Cobb a heavyweight in the 80's was the best, his one-liners were excellent, an immortal one was when he was due to fight Frank Bruno (who pulled out) was 'My price for fighting Bruno is 25 cents, a 6 pack of beer and a loose woman'
Another of his lines was commenting on that he'd been knocked out by a Mexican bantom weight fighter.........his mates had swung the Mexican around by his heels in a bar room brawl and he'd got 'clipped'

. . . . At this moment in time? If only there was some concise snappier way of saying this. Like maybe using the word "Now"!

What about wanky shit cunters that say "Well you can't take anything away from him."

FUCK OFF. I HATE IT.

Shoot anyone who uses either.

Perfect: absolutely perfect.
English, spoken by someone who knows its intrinsic beauty and harmony, and knos how to use it

Proof that you can only mortally abuse the EL, as M does so often, if you can already speak it well, which trick of course is totally beyond the capacity of yer average Basildonian.
Anent which: a Wicklow Man of my acquaintance insists in speaking Bog-Irish in his 'public life', yet has some of the most beautiful written skills in his adopted tongue I've ever seen.

When the interviewee says "you know" the interviewer should interrupt and say "no I don't know. Tell me".

Another thing that gets my goat is when, for instance, a football manager says "we came to get a result", implying that they came to win. Surely win lose or draw is a RESULT??????????????????????????????????

I forgot to include my most hated expression "can't wait".
Wtf does that mean? I can't be arsed to wait around or I want it now.
