O/T:- Spoty

[upthemaggies]

Based on research showing more women than men take the trouble to vote, Radacanu is a shoe-in. If the award is equating sports and personality, then it's probably Fury by some distance. However Mr Fury is unpredictable and unlovable so he's not likely to figure. Peaty let himself down by not getting to the finals of Strictly.

Sports personality of the year award

1988 winner Steve "interesting" Davis.


I could get on with Steve Davis though, he is a prog fan, though probably not of the German Baader-Meinhof inspired generation I tend to favour.

My vote would certainly go to Dame Sarah Storey. An outstanding athlete who has maintained the highest levels in her chosen sports for many years. I agree with Magpie-Mania that this poll no longer relates to “personality.”
I am disappointed to see that Sir Lewis Hamilton has been omitted from the list: presumably due to not being awarded the race last Sunday. His attitude since the result was declared has been that of a true sportsman.

C'mon Sid, it's Raducanu, but I must confess I'm not entirely sure if it's its or it's?

Radacanu is a shoe-in

Shoo-in

Court you out with that one

[Wedgie_pie]

Dame Sarah Storey for me.

Or maybe my Dame Sarah Storey prediction will be like my 3-3 prediction, way off the mark...

Yes, my Romanian is quite dusty, ncfcog; sorry about getting a letter wrong; did it stop you from knowing to whom I referred? As is pointed out above, it's can only be employed as short for 'it is'. Its does not take an apostrophe in the possessive case. And please can the many on here who confuse loose with lose sort them out?
Shoe-in or shoo-in I believe are equally acceptable these days although I accept that shoo-in came first. Honest, you can't spit without someone telling you it's not spelled / spelt phlegm.

Don’t beat yourself up about it Sid, there are none of us perfect!

Just been reading that the FIA President has said that Hamilton may be punished for not attending its awards ceremony last night.
