Sports Personality of the Year

Whilst I agree with everything said here, particularly the lack of coverage of Ellen's mammoth task, I should point out that the team trophy went to rowers not footballers.

Ellen is getting the coverage - just watched BBC South today and time was given to Ellen and Nick Malloney. Offshore challenges are obviously doing their bit well.

I would expect they will have planned a longer one off documentary about their journeys.

sort of off topic, but since it was sort of mentioned, does anyone else here apart from me do rowing? it is a great sport, brilliant for fitness!

thanks contender, i'm a bit late to read your post sorry!

brian, i go rowing in the summer for fun but not as a sport, but yes, it is cool

ha ha yeah right hurricane, u cant catch a crab or capsize on
an ergonometer!


catch a crab: nothing to do with the , um fishy crab thing, it is
when your "blade" (the bit at the end of our oar) spins around
backwards. basically it is a major screw up, and if u are in a
single scull aka pointed ironing board this means u are dead
coz the boat is only balanced on one side and u are dum dum
dum in the water, tetanus shot insues, where i row anyway
