RE: Roy Mooreisms
"Roy's constant use of the word "certainly"
I think the start of the Roy Moorisms thread (thanks FOZ) now a decade old was to cure Roy's penchant towards the use of "tremendyus" & "absolutely tremendous".
Sadly to say it worked
Wait till he gets really excited and slips into the native tongue!

RE: Roy Mooreisms
"amateur commentators" ?
I take it as most all the radio commentators are settled in, (IMO) that your referring to Cam Donald on the TV?
Well if'a you get your Strip Clubs geared up on the IOM ya just may get Mick Doohan class for an announcer!

RE: Roy Mooreisms
aaaayup, Haven't got to the the Mountain Memories yet, have you seen the Guy Martin fan vid interview yet?
Here's a spoiler.
yea where are we? what day is it? (looks at watch) but all's OK as "Me & Nige our having a whale of a time"...
(Nige been for a swim'in lesson).
DAFT...
Just heard on the radio that the exclusive 'Roy Moore Fan Club' is on the island.
Last night I was going through the recorded segments of 'Super Saturday' practice to see if they were all in proper order before I deleted them off the server.
Had the headphones on for a close listen... my head almost hit the keyboard...
"One's these big Suzuki comes towards us, but that is a BMW..."
"use to be a cute corner"
Completely murdered Masayuki Yamanaka pronunciation, an FOZ you'll love this, "an certainly ah the pep,,perfor,, the pep pep,,preparatiom of that machine..."

RE: Roy Mooreisms
I'm stuck in Austin Texas, in 100F+ heat, having to get up at 4.30am to get the old coal fired computer fired up, and listen to Manx Radio TT - turn the volume up, and go back to bed and listen in! Yes - yes, the "Certainly" comment has got out of hand, and maybe someone should actually mention it to him?
Still, being many thousands of miles away - yet feeling I'm there, watching Live Timing - and hearing commentary (even if it's perhaps not the best!) is a blessing. When I think back to the 'dark years' - when, unless there was a tragedy that became Worldwide news - I had to wait weeks, to get my MCN mailed to me, to read the news.
I've not missed anything this year - and as news of Dan's (RIP) tragedy was 'unfolding', after the red flag, was PM'ing on Facebook with a close friend in Jurby - when he pointed out who had not made it to Ramsey. We feared the worse - and of course, knew it was Dan. More 'wonders of modern science' again.
Things are happening so fast these days (with the sub 17m laps etc) that it's enough to make anyone's head spin, and bless old Roy for at least trying to keep up with the times.
In all - I'm chuffed to hear as much as we've got. Sure, I do sort of miss Peter Kneale/Geoff Cannell - but think the current crew are CERTAINLY doing a pretty good job! Roll on Friday, and let's see if every race breaks at least one record. What an amazing year it's been --- so far!
