LuganoPirateParticipantThat reminds me of another golfing one, attributed to David Coleman but I don’t think it was him that said it:

CathayLoyalist2ParticipantThen there is the famous comment by Jonathan Agnew commenting at a Lords Test Match when Ian Botham in full charge tried to hook a bouncer out of the ground and in so trying he missed, stepped back and trod on his wicket. Brian Johnston said “What a pity” and Agnew responded with “Yes indeed a pity; he couldn’t quite get his leg over”!!. Cue convulsive and uncontrollable laughter from the commentary box, a shaking camera which went on for 2+ minutes unabated. It featured in a BBC tribute to Brian Johnston.

Ormond replied “At least I’m the best cricketer in my family!

IanFromHKGParticipantMany years ago, I watched a programme I remember very clearly – at least, ten seconds or so. It was the Kilroy-Silk show (I was at home, off sick from school, and desperate for entertainment), doing a feature on unwanted pregnancies / single mothers.
Kilroy-Silk, to young single mother: “Did you intend to get pregnant?”
Mother: “No, it was a cock-up”
