What's your favourite David Duffieldism.
Mine will always be
(1) Who is this "he" to whom he refers?
&
(2) Why is he tapping his nose? Does he have a lodged bogey?

'He' probably means himself.
Surely you know what tapping the side of your nose after telling someone something means!!??!!I'd rather walk than use Shimano0 -

"It's looking a bit black over Bill's Mother's"
This phrase is now common parlance in the Hunt household.0 -
I may be treading on some toes here, but I really cannot stand the bloke and his obsession with Bradley Wiggins is frankly upsetting. Whenever he's commentating, I watch with the sound off...Crash 'n Burn, Peel 'n Chew

The highlight (lowlight) of Duffers commentary career was, for me, in the late '80s when Eurosport and cycling coverage was in its infancy. The coverage of one of the early Spring classics was being sponsored by Haribo and, for some bizzare reason, rather than interrupt the programme for a message from the sponsors, Duffers would intone every 10 minutes
"Kids and grown-ups love it so, the Happy world of Haribo".
By the end of the race, it was like water torture. You knew he was going to say it again but you'd never know when.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -
Kids and growns up do love it so, says he tapping the side of his nose.0

Chapeau to all these suggestions.
I am his friend on myspace as well although he hasn't updated his blog in years.0 -
Not exactly a cliche. but he did say on Saturday, during the Veulta de Burgos, "if there is a crash in the last three kilometres it isn't a problem". :shock:
I know that he meant, not a problem regarding the racer's times, but it is still utterly tactless.0 -
Thanks for posting that, "It was well worth a burst on the old banjo". 0

Tapping the side of my nose..... :P 8)

Duffers is presently doing the on-the-road as well as stage-finish commentary on the Tour of Ireland. He's being driven around in a BMW X3, stopping every now and then to explain what's going on and have an occasional letch at the female spectators. He's a randy old bugger for 76.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0
