B


B is for... the great British institute that is the BBC.

I'd wanted to be in the audience for Fighting Talk but missed the cut (the Masters is on so thought I'd get a few references in...), instead got 'Kicking Off' with Colin Murray in the saddle. One of the JMU lecture halls was transformed into a live radio show with 14 times unlucky national winner Tony McCoy amongst others. Happily, Matt followed Cornelius Lysaght's advice thinking that the new phrase might be 'fifteenth time lucky' and bagged himself a winning bet. Hilarious evening, not least because of the 'in the hole' shout that went up from us every time Tiger Woods was mentioned. When outside commentators stumble over their words in reaction to the shout you know it's making a mark, let alone it being live on national radio!
