Here’s a chap called Nick Heath who’s a rugby commentator and journalist and also a podcast producer.

But it’s the commentating bit we’re really interested in. Because in the absence of any live sport, all postponed because of coronavirus, Nick started commenting on everyday life as he saw it and shared the videos on Twitter.

And they really will make your day better.

For a multiplicity of reasons, my Desktop doesn’t do Twitter, or Facebook.

I just watched Dancing With The Stars Australia and they aired the show with no audience. If they were trying to send a message it wasn’t a very good one because when they did shots of the crew they were all bunched together in one section and the dancers (not the ones dancing, you expect them to be close. The ones who stand behind the dancers after they talk to the judges and are waiting for their score) were packed in behind, no safe distance at all. At least they didn’t show anyone licking their fingers or rubbing their eyes.

Yabutt, the way my confuser is set up/locked down they don’t tend to show up well and almost never can I watch a video.

No biggie or I’d dig in and fix it.

“...their usual weekend gal but she was on Skype from home”

What was she wearing?

How did the blue screen thing work?

A bunch of NASCAR drivers are racing tomorrow on a digital race track. Jeff Gordon and Mike Joy are even doing Play By Play

They showed her just at the beginning and end of the weather, mostly she was just talking and they showed the regular computer generated weather slides.

Commentating is not a word. Thought the Brits would know their own language.

I get a few laughs from a few liberal nuts that I unfortunately know.

Yeah, you would have thought they would be a bit more orientated within their own language than that, no?
