[Benji1]

As suggested by another member.. for all your badminton commentary goodness!!!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Tension mounting, mere minutes to go until coverage commences!

*Ensures fudge baked for purpose, jug of squash, remote and iPhone are all in reach*

 

[Benji1]

Anyone got any predictions? Favourites?

 

[brighteyes]

I predict a horse ridden by a person will be in the lead after today.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Ruth and Tina have both scored so well in the Dressage, would be so nice to see either of them going great guns XC today! Favourite horse for me is Miner's Frolic though - he is a dream horse and utterly stunning!

 

[Supertrooper]

Really looking forward to seeing AN rides, Mary king, tina cook. Excited now xxx

 

[Benji1]

haha!!

"Cross country coverage starts shortly"

YAY!!!!!

 

[brighteyes]

[PeanutButterDragon]

Brighteyes clearly has some insider knowledge

Woop, Badminton x-c day coverage has started on the red button!!!! so excited...
would love Tina Cook to win with Minors Frolic, would be very exciting, and fingers crossed for all the first timers having a good round...

Given the rain, I'm suddenly not so bothered about actually being there. Hope it doesn't cause any slipping problems though. I'm settled on the sofa for the day now!

 

[Benji1]

Flipping heck, they've had some rain, have you seen the water?!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

What a test!

 

[B_2_B]

*cries*
Why is the online not on yet?

 

[Benji1]

They haven't kicked off the XC yet, its dressage highlights atm

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Apparently there have been two changes to the XC course, so clearly weather is playing a part http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/article.php?aid=297571

 

[Benji1]

Glad they've listened and adopted to conditions, 2007 was such a let down with the ground

 

[asbo]

[PeanutButterDragon]

Oh my!! B_2_B! I've just clocked your sig! Yum!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

i wanna watch it and i cant cos i have stupid virgin

I'm watching on Virgin hun - just used the blue remote's red button but not sure if everyone who is on Virgin has the same remote? (clueless when it comes to technology!)

 

[Benji1]

And we're off.

 

[asbo]

red button is faves on mine *sobs*

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

The going looks quite good, but can imagine a couple of dozen riders down it will start to get a little treacherous if it continues to rain

 

[B_2_B]

Lol PBD!

Doesn't look like they're gonna put it online
If my flatmate leaves I can get the TV
But I suppose it's a good thing, I have an exam tomorrow haha!

 

[B_2_B]

Oh wait

Asbo, watch it here!
