| by Baron Claude Borlz Last Writes you will always find on the last page of ABR, because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 12 of the finest (unintentional) double-entendres ever aired on TV and Radio 1. Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator - ‘This is really a lovely horse. I once rode her mother.’ 2. New Zealand Rugby Commentator - ‘Andrew Mehrtens loves it when Daryl Gibson comes inside of him.’ 3. Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator - ‘And this is Gregoriava from Bulgaria ... I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing!’ 4. Harry Carpenter at the OxfordCambridge boat race 1977 - ‘Ah, isn’t that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the Oxford crew.’ 5. US PGA Commentator - ‘One of the reasons Arnie ( Arnold Palmer) is playing so well is that, before each tee shot, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them .. Oh my God!! What have I just said??’ 6. Carenza Lewis about finding food in the Middle Ages on ‘Time Team Live’ said: ‘You’d eat beaver if you could get it.’ 7. A female news anchor woman from Tyne Tees who, the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn’t, turned to the weatherman and asked, ‘So Bob, where’s that eight inches you promised me last night?’ Not only did he have to leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so hard! 8. Steve Ryder covering the US Masters: ‘Ballesteros felt much better today after a 69 yesterday.’ 9. Clair Frisby talking about a jumbo hot dog on ‘Look North’ said: ‘There’s nothing like a big hot sausage inside you on a cold night like this. ‘ 10 Mike Hallett discussing missed snooker shots on ‘Sky Sports’: ‘Stephen Hendry jumps on Steve Davis’s misses every chance he gets.’ 11. Michael Buerk on watching Philippa Forrester cuddle up to a male astronomer for warmth during BBC1’s UK eclipse coverage remarked: ‘They seem cold out there. They’re rubbing each other and he’s only come in his shorts.’ 12. Ken Brown commentating on golfer Nick Faldo and his caddie Fanny Sunneson lining-up shots at the Scottish Open: ‘Some weeks Nick likes to use Fanny; other weeks he prefers to do it by himself.’ HELGA’S DIARY ON A CRUISE SHIP DEAR DIARY - DAY 1: All packed for the cruise ship -- all my nicest dresses, swimsuits, and short sets. Really, really exciting. Our local Red Hat chapter - The Late Bloomers decided on this “all-girls” trip. It will be my first one - and I can’t wait! DEAR DIARY - DAY 2: Entire day at sea, beautiful. Saw whales and dolphins. Met the Captain today -seems like a very nice man. DEAR DIARY - DAY 3: At the pool today. Did some shuffleboard, hit golf balls off the deck. Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner. Felt honoured and had a wonderful time. He is very attractive and attentive. DEAR DIARY - DAY 5: Pool again today. Got sunburned, and I went inside to drink at piano-bar, stayed there for rest of day. Captain saw me, bought me several large drinks. Really is quite charming. Again asked me to visit his cabin for the night. Again I declined. He told me that if I did not let him have his way with me, he would sink the ship... I was shocked. DEAR DIARY - DAY 6: Today I saved 2 600 lives. Twice. And finally, with the Rand in the doldrums, I decided to visit a fortune teller to find out what the Rand would be like in 2019. This is what she showed me: DEAR DIARY - DAY 4: Won $800.00 in the ship’s casino. Captain asked me to have dinner with him in his own cabin. Had a scrumptious meal complete with caviar and champagne. He asked me to stay the night, but I declined. Told him I could not be unfaithful to my husband. | words in action 104 april 2014
