o don't get me wrong I hate them
but they pay for the show.
that's why I stick with erosport.
if the advertisers think people aint watching then leave.
we will be stuck with the BBC
and when they go to the next big thing. we will have to go to Sky
And with them you have to pay and get adverts

I'm clearly struggling with the modern idiom - I don't understand what 'parp' means either

Spot on Tim, Eurosport every time.

Eurosport everytime, as you say Toby and Julian just love their jobs so much! As for the adverts, quick flick to bbc2 until the adverts have finished, simple innit!

BBC guys seem so drool compared.
As for Suzi....

BBC 2for me -ive only got poor mans telly

Bit of both really. Eurosport to start with cos there's the whole shebang of the other classes too. When it comes to the main event, BBC2 cos I prefer the commentators, and hate ads. If it overruns and BBC have to go to International Ironing or something, then I switch back.

Unless there's a storm here in Switz and my satellite doesn't pick up BBC!!!

Ade.

I haven't got a choice. My house is 100 or so yards from the nearest road. NTL won't run a cable just for me and the Sky bloke said he couldn't fit a dish because of the trees (for that read "can't be arsed to fetch my ladders 100 yards)....

BBC it is then.

Always Eurosport because BBC2 hardly ever shows it! If it is on I'll switch to BBC2 during the breaks - I'm glad I did today because both of Rossi's decisive moves were during breaks on Eurosport but were shown on BBC2!
