Mate, you're on the same wave-length as me and two of my mates.
In fact, we detest him so greatly that last year when we used to have our chunky challenge arvo's (a carton of beer each while watching the V8/ F1 marathons on a sunday) we would each keep a note-pad and pen handy to write down all his ***ing stupid calls. often we would have 4 pages each.
we would then call up the Cannel 10 consumer feedback phone number at about midnight after the F1s had finished and let fly with abusive phone calls asking for him to be removed from the payroll.
I bet whoever the feedback operator was would enjoy Monday mornings cause they would have been funny calls to listen to sober.
One of the worst calls he ever made was in the dying stages of a V8 race last year. It was really close between a few racers, and it was starting to cloud over, dropping the temperature. The idiot then said that he wouldn't be surprised to see a few of the leaders pitting to have the tyre pressures altered! this is a race with about 10 laps to go and the first three drivers separated by a few seconds. who is he kidding?!
he really needs to admit his best ever achievement was forgetting to brake at the end of the straight at QR. at least he got some bloody air-time sitting in the kitty litter
