"and the batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willie"

there was a good one the other day, some guy got hit in the nuts with a cricket ball, in a fair amount of pain. commenter goes "and there's two balls left in the over" .. cue sniggers in background

there's a bit on the bbc website with all recordings of "colemanballs" - named by private eye magazine after david coleman who came out with them on a regular basis.

they were recently trying to pass a law in Louisiana that banned baggy pants (garments that expose buttocks, crack, or pubic hair). Anyway, it didn't pass, but I heard on the radio the other day that "the baggy pants law went down to defeat"

I know they tried that, and it's not that funny, but I really don't care.

like when the UK gov was banning rave parties - I think they termed rave music as some number of BPM, or was it something repetative. I cant remember

People with too much time and too many horrors in their own back yard

Loads of Murray Walker quotes here. F1 has never been the same since Murray retired. Him and James Hunt were the perfect team. Apparently when Murray said "James has just popped out to have a look at the back of the circuit", James was actually out the back of the commentary box having a spliff.

One which I heard from John Motson ( I think) during the last world cup that made me laugh.

Very excitedly - "Seaman's coming out here!"

It's only a game of football, John. It shouldn't be THAT exciting.
