'Lord Nelson! Lord Beaverbrook! Sir Winston Churchill! Sir Anthony Eden! Clement Attlee! Henry Cooper! Lady Diana! Maggie Thatcher - can you hear me, Maggie Thatcher! Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!'


Said by Bjorge Lillelien on Norwegian TV, 1981

 

When Norway beat England 2-1 in Oslo in a World Cup qualifier in Sept 1981.

Lillelien's gloriously over-the-top response to Norway's unlikely victory over Ron Greenwood's side marked the high watermark of football commentary as social commentary. Passionate, uninhibited and a bit weird, football fans everywhere from Scotland to Argentina knew exactly what he was saying: that there is no pleasure as sweet as beating England at their own game.

 

 

 

Richard Desmond ! Endemol ! Jamie East ! Most of the BB/BOTS audience & presenters! Lauren Harries ! Pete bloody Burns ! Brian Dowling ! Alice Levine ! BB producers ! OK! TV! Wolfpack ! Justin Maggot ! Loo wees ! Channel 5 ! - Can you hear me, Channel 5?

 

Your collective brain cell took one hell of a beating!

 

Said by Baby Bunny on Gaga, 2011.

 

When Aaron beat Endemol 1-0 in Borehamwood in a reality show in Nov 2011.

Bunny's gloriously over-the-top response to Aaron's unlikely victory over Channel 5 marked the high watermark of telly as social commentary (well, not really... but I am paraphrasing ). Passionate, uninhibited and a bit weird, Gaga BB fans everywhere from Scotland ('cept hoochie ) to England, Wales and Ireland (with a few exceptions) knew exactly what she was saying: that there is no pleasure as sweet as beating Endemol at their own game.

I know Syd, and they may have made more money from votes by doing so, but I am still happy that none of the other bodily-function obsessed cretins won!

 

There were probably a lot of BB fans that were very reluctant to hand over their money to Ch5 via votes but didn't want crassness to win the day either!

 

It's a bit of a win-win for Ch5 and a lose-lose for the fans and I dislike Ch5 intensely for that alone!!

 

Anyway, this thread is only a bit of levity. I'm off to bed! Night Syd.
