Did you hear David taking the mickey out of Carlton because of his French pronunciation, likening him to Peter Sellers? I was moved to complain by email:

"Did I just hear David Harmon criticising Carlton's French
pronunciation? Pot, kettle, black. David you really take the biscuit
for lamest effort by any Englishman in history to grapple with the
French language. Or Spanish or Italian for that matter. For example,
your effort at Caisse d'Epargne is more absurd than anything Peter
Sellers ever said."

I got a three word reply - can you guess what it was? :D

    Unless you're one of his chums emailing in or a viewer asking a beginners's question ('what sort of gears do I need to fide these cimbs', etc) you have to be pretty lucky to get mentioned at all.

    His reply was by email only, not in the commentary

    but seriously - those dudes at Eurosport are cool..

    They involve you in the tour more then any other commentary from other chans.

    people need to go see the doctors and get some prozak to help them relax

    We only know it was from his email account. It could have been Sean or Emma causing mischief while he was busy commentating.

    Maybe we could hack Eurostar's account, respond to Harmon (or Kelly or Davies) and ramp this up another notch. Euosport don't seem to have one of those sweary bleepers so we might get the full Roger Melly response on air :evil:
