More of Gareth and Alistor on TT

Eric Denman was NO great commentator.....................one could put him alongside Nico & say they were coupled!!!

Also Eric had a bad habit of swallowing while commentating.(td)

If I'm not mistaken Eric Denman is now a soccer tipster for the Witness in KZN. Remember his signature call was "420 to go" when the horses entered the straight. Trevor Denman top class imo, still going strong in the States. Epic Zenyatta calls.

just a general comment, cos i see it happening around me at my place of work..............is it a case of who you know and not how hard you work???

I work my ass off at work and i AM NOT a suction/brown-noser/asslicker (whatever you want to call it)..........and the people around me that are (or perhaps are perceived to be, by me).......get promotions (3 promotions in 18 months.....#unfreakinheardof) and i havent moved up at all.........makes me wonder :S

Are those people that had 3 promotions in 18 months sharing their sandwiches with the bosses??
If they are, i suggest that you visit the local muti store and buy some "jamal".
Make sure that you remove all the toilet paper from the toilets.

I think these two fellows, GP & AC, should be encouraged and supported whatever there current ambitions achieve and wherever that takes them in the industry. They are both an asset to the sport. Period.

Anyone that makes the head honchos look bad are sure to be promoted to the back office and then out the back door...

Really feel for you PK.........................there's a new breed of workers now who believe in making themselves popular with other colleagues and once a clique has been formed, they can get away with doing as little as possible as long as the non-clique worker is there to bear the brunt of the work-load.(td)

Well, i was working in the same team as the guy that now got a promotion to a total new department........so now there's only me doing this type of work in the team.......lets see if me doing 2 ppl's work until they get a replacement, will finally get me some recognition. Anyway, not ranting and raving.....my initial comments were actually related to the thread, so this is my final comment

Agree 100% abacus
