    Sean again admitting that he wasn't listening to Carlton's drivel. I can see a divorce on the cards before the end of this particular French holiday.

    Carlton:"blah blah blah this 4th cat climb, what do you think Sean?"

    Sean yesterday: "Sorry what, I was reading the paper"

    Sean Today: ".... eh, what, oh I was listening to Race Radio"

    Sean tomorrow: "..... eh, what, Drink, Girls, Feck, Arse"

    Came down in the second crash just before the sprint finish yesterday.

    Q. Is the route to the finish today the same as the one Cav won a couple of years ago?

    I think he'll climb off today.
    Looks like he really wants to be somewhere else

    By 'came down in' you mean 'was entirely the cause of'

    I'm just waiting for Carlton to break down into a teary sobbing rant at him "You never listen to me, I slave away all day trying to find interesting facts to fill the silence and all you do is sit there reading the paper..." and so on.

    It is the fourth installment of Richard Linklater's 'Before' series of films 'Before Paris' with Ethan Hawke as Sean Kelly and Julie Deply as Carlton Kirby or vice versa.

    :mrgreen::lol:

    It is a bit of a worry when the main commentator is so mind numbing that even his co-commentator has given up listening to him. Was that really race radio Sean, or were you actually listening to Simon Brotherton on 5Live?

    Just for anyone lacking a stream at work - tvguide.co.uk has a "Watch live" button on some channels, including ITV4. Doesn't see to be geo-restricted either. Non UK residents can now keep up with the moaning about commentators ;-)
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format

    The song on that Samsung is the worst too.

    Well my sound has just died - maybe Sean has finally lost it....

    I've lost sound. Have they pulled the plug on Carlton. Has Sean snapped and gone for the nuclear option? :shock:

    Worse. Leidseplein.

    We did find an awesome cafe just round the corner in Oud West though

    Yeah don't know what they're thinking there unless he's refusing to quit. You can see him getting blown about by the wind as well...

    Sorry - I haven't been paying proper attention. Just realised there's no break!? Too hot and a general acceptance that the sprint teams and OGE will keep the race locked down?

    Do you reckon he's waiting for the camera to bugger off first?

    When you say "go out", do you mean go to the window and ply your wares?

    You have my deepest sympathies. I would suggest you do not enter the Vondel Park this afternoon/evening if you do not like crowds and/or gormless people wandering around like headless chickens. Alternatively if you like to play real life bicycle pin ball and you have a fiets, then head to the Vondel Park for a game of bicycle pin ball.

    Poor Bouhanni really does look miserable doesn't he? I'd feel sorry for him if he was lying in bed looking like that, never mind trying to ride a couple of hundred kms in baking heat and blustery wind.
