lee pearson...arrogant much...

We all make assumptions about people based on what we see an hear when we meet them.
When i watch the interviews with Lee i think "what a nob".
This is based entirely on the things he says in his interviews.
Surely anyone can see that an interview with the media is going to throw a spotlight on their personality.
I would have the same opinion of this bloke if he was disabled, sky blue pink with yellow dots or worked part time as a chippendale.
If he is happy for people to think he s a nob then thats fine.... but if not maybe he should get some pr advice.

agreed. well said.
 
He said that when the horse is going well it gives him a hard on - ill judged remark, but I think he was trying to indicate what a great feeling it is when things are going right in a dressage test. (you've no idea how difficult it was to avoid double entendres in this reply!}

If your going to say something like that disabled or not on nBational TV, your asking for trouble IMHO

But it was funny tho especially on Last Leg

He's not the first rider I've heard say that but time and place. . . :D

The guys on The Last Leg loved it. It may have put some horse people off but I bet more people know his name now than did last week. ;)

It's reminding me of Ian Stark's comment after Barcelona Olympics 1992, when asked to describe how it felt he responded along the lines of "There's no better feeling in the world. except maybe sex" :D :D Funnily enough people seemed to have a sense of humour in 1992 though ;) :D

Totally agree Rhino........
However, its seems to me, some people are horrified that disabled people actually have a sex life!!!!
 
I have seen lee compete a couple of times against & beating able bodied riders. I didn't bother him when he was between rides but he was smiley and did say hello to anyone who caught his eye that to me speaks volumes

Who the hell ever said or implied that? I know I didn't read every last word of this thread, but I'm fairly certain I didn't see anything on here to do with that?


I think there seems to be some sort of misconceived idea that because there are some folk on here who don't like the person they THINK Lee is (as portrayed by the media or their own dealings with him) that they are disliking him because he is disabled. That's what it sounds like. The fact that people have formed an opinion of his personality (rightly or wrongly) says more that they aren't "liking" him out of some sort of misplaced pity or feel as if they should simply because of the disability.

Sex life (or alternative one - whichever way he swings his bat is no business of mine) or color or physicality does not make me like or dislike someone. What a person says or does makes all the difference.

Yep, I am sure I would feel the same way if I had seen that too. :)

I like any person, celebrity or not, who is like that and like that deep down.

I think it was the terms he used that were abit off key... dont mind anyone thinking something is better than sex... but telling everyone you had a hard on is a bit TMI. Cant see Victoria Pendleton or Sarah Storey telling the world that their flaps were on fire...but if either of them did, I would be just as ewwwww'd out about it !!

Right, off to have a cuppa tea and get some ice on my nipples...

I do hope you were being ironic there mrussell ;-0
 
More fool the narrow minded! It doesn't hurt to think outside the box sometimes. It's obvious he has a heart of gold and great talent; sorry to hear so many people can't see past the end of their nose when it comes to a bit of humour.

PMSL:D:D:D:D:D
 
His success record in both para dressage and able bodied speaks for its self! And i agree he deserves the 'Sir', for both his success and for the awareness he has brought to para dressage.

But after watching the documentary I was routing for Ricky as he just came across the nicer chap.

And then come dine with me finished me off- I admire him but won't be rushing to spend any time with him. I'm sure he couldn't give 2 hoots about me either ;)
