Badminton thread!

[Hedgewitch13]

That's outside broadcasting for you... I rushed back from my shopping trip this morning, sat down, saw Francis Whittington start and 'bam' it's gone. Boo

 

[starryeyed]

this is torture!

 

[humblepie]

off to watch the F1 instead but thanks for the reminder re the HH coverage.

I've just had the biscuits, Dunlin, but a virtual cuppa will be very nice. Now bloody adverts.

 

[MyBoyChe]

Ive got adverts fo BBC drama now!!

 

[starryeyed]

Does anyone know how FW did?

 

[dafthoss]

Now playing adverts, brilliant! Online coverage not working either

 

[nic85]

[dollymix]

Arghhhhh! Come on BBC sort it out!!

 

[BlairandAzria]

Apparently Jodie had a fall on course. Ludwig held but then went on to finish.

Bloody adverts on red button now... Come on!!!

 

[armchair_rider]

I am listening to Radio Badminton on my PC now, better than nowt. Jodie Amos has fallen apparently

 

[apachediamond]

Me too!

Read the live HandH and there's been a fall, Jodie I think....

 

[9tails]

I think we're not going to see a lot of CC today

 

[BlairandAzria]

How do you get badminton radio a_c?

Suppose I should go and check my ham hock soup now!

 

[debsflo]

If we all nip to the loo it may restart..

 

[Kadastorm]

eurgh...damn you bbc! i have to go to work soon and the coverage will probably be back on then! *stomps feet and sulks off to get ready for work*

 

[ArcticFox]

It has to be on for Henny!!

C'mon BBC

 

[4x4]

So how do I get off of F1 and onto Badminton on the red button or has it gone?

 

[BBP]

I preferred the silent fault message, not sure why they think elevator music will soothe our irritation at missing out on what shaping up to be a massively influential XC day. Don't blame Andrew or Clark for retiring, if I had a horse that big and bold and brave I wouldn't risk denting it's enthusiasm either.

 

[superpony]

I am following on H&H now!

 

[starryeyed]

^ Haha I've had to mute it!!! Got badminton radio on instead!

Another one listening to Radio Badminton here. Am in Australia so can't watch on BBC online so this is the next best thing.

 

[dollymix]

Radio badminton it is then...

 

[Dunlin]

Right I've got a huge round of tea, coffee and hot choccie in while we listen to this relaxing meditation music.

I do believe that since that awful incident a few years ago where the horse died after being punctured by a fence flag the BBC policy is to run with a small delay so they can stop the coverage if there's a nasty fall.

 

[Tiddlypom]

Matilda's round seems ever better in retrospect, after the trouble the later starters have had, and it seemed very good at the time.

C'mon, red button, all lined up here, please sort your glitches out! Ooh, continues shortly....

 

[armchair_rider]

Francis retiring - horse exhausted. Sensible decision but a real shame

 

[tonkatoy]

pooped ponio

Gutted for him.

Sounds like it'll be a massive achievment if anyone gets a clear inside the time.
