If it were called Sportsman of the Year, it would be incorrect, and I don't mean politically incorrect. It's called Sports Personality of the Year as the competition is open to, and has been won by, both men and women. Nothing to do with sexism.Quote:

I suppose saying Human is sexist now. IT should be 'Human' and 'Huwoman' :rolleyes:Quote:

Can't say it has a great ring to it though.
What the hell is Jensen Button doing on that list, he won a race when everybody else fell off (okay so he was doing fastish laps). Yet A P McCoy who's won the jockey's championship the last 11 years doesn't get on the shortlist and neither did Andy Priaulx, just cos the BBC don't cover WTCC shouldn't stop him being on it, uh uh, Doh!!
Zara Phillips - World and European Champion, on a horse she's trained herself.

yep- i'm trying out all the funny styles that we can now use :)
Tasteful... :D
I dunno who this year, but have just watched on telly a superb darts match last night. James Wade I think it is, crushed Chris Mason by far. A name of the future to win the award in years to come... ;)
For a brief but ghastly moment, I thought I was looking at an attempt at poetry. :p :Quote:

Not allowable because of the fact it has 'neigh' personality either... :D
OK, ban me then... ;)
