    I've heard "depths of courage"
    maybe they lost their luggage.

    I haven't heard 'spot of bother' either. One of my favorites

    LOL
    I love these two guys.
    The Tour would just seem wrong without them and all the great sayings.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

    I haven't watched much of the Tour this year, is it true Bobke is actually saying Tour de France properly? I prefer Ter Day France

    I don't see "lumpy" which is a favorite Paul description or the "man with the hammer" which my husband loves to quote. I must print some out for tomorrow night's watching.

    Hilarious!
    I had to call DH in here so he could read them with me. Some I don't remember them saying, but we fast foward a lot on the DVR so I might miss some (who can spend 5 hours a day just watching the TDF? Sheesh).

    that's my sister's fav too and she just noted that sunday.

    I noticed one day during cyclism sundays, and then heard paul again sunday, say a word that we've always said was "pittsburghese", though my canadian mother said it too but she grew up in a town that in the 1800s was populated by pittsburgh steel workers. anywho - the word is "slippy" which is pittsburgh for slippery. i think my sister thought i imagined paul saying it, but then she heard him say it on sunday and we all cracked up.

    My favorite is "oh the carnage"...when the pelaton is all broken up to a hard climb. I say that when I am climbing...

    As for "call of nature"--I believe that have many other terms for that..."natural break" and somethign else.

    Yep, tape teh tour to listen to Paul & Phil....can't stand the re-cap on prime time....Bobke is ok...but how is this Craig guy...he can't say anyone's name correctly!

    I can't resist telling hubby that I'm in a spot of bother on nearly every ride. I don't think he's as amused as I am.
