Or does DC hate Eddie Jordan with a thinly disguised venom...........

Today, I did love the complaint about Massa's braking points, EJ says he was braking early, DC says "Yes, you'd have braked a lot later"....

Eddie really is dreadful, isn't he? He can't string a decent sentence together on the pit-lane walkabouts before the sessions on TV. Whoever at the BBC thought it was a good idea to hire him must be squirming in their seat now, surely?
I bet he got a good contract with a decent payout if they get rid of him early to, knowing EJ. hehe

He's great for a quote, but rubbish as a pundit.

Yep. I have no idea what he adds to the mix really... Apart from raising DC's blood pressure..

There was another comment from DC which at the time I nearly wet meself, but now I've forgotten what it was, but it was said with an underlying tone which was "please die a horrible death you moron with no idea what you are talking about"...

There was the quote from DC when they were talking through Jensons Q3 lap and he rounds the last corner onto the pit straight "Even you could drive this bit eddie".

He either wants to kill him or smash his back door in.

In EJiot's defence he wasn't as bad as usual, he maybe mellowing, I could be wrong, but I was on Pistonheads GP thread, when I should have been watching the TV, and must have missed loads...

Have you ever heard of the phrase: damming by feint praise?

He gets 10 points from me for just mentioning Kimi getting an ice cream. Cracked up at that. Plenty more life in the Kimi/ice cream joke yet smile

That would be 'damning with faint praise' wink

Eddie really is not good to watch though is he? Never thought they could find someone worse than The Cock but the Beeb did it!

I like Eddie. Inviting a chimpanzee to a party always livens things up a bit.

I didn't think it polite to correct spelling after someone pulled me for JENSEN...

As Thyroid suggests during the dull parts, EJiot gives us something to moan about, I haven't warmed to him, and I don't think he is playing devil's advocate or agent provocateur, he really is OTT, but compared to Mark Blundell "most definitely Steve", keep him, we will always have someone to throw things at, and we immediately have something in common. Plus the anticipation of his latest Gok Wan outfit is one of the highlights of the broadcast.
