Above: Jiffy - Massive Hankey - Crucial Having just watched the Wales v Scotland game, and the subsequent forum on the Red Button, I find myself once again offering up praise for the sensible, rational and non-partisan commentary/punditry of Jonathan Davies. Sure, Andrew Cotter may have said something very funny when he described a mini-montage of Andy Robinson reactions as "Like Springwatch with rage", but for the most part he has verbal diarrhoea. And to boot he insists on referring to the Lamont brothers as "Lamb'nt", as though he's a member of a secret society sending messages across the airwaves to his co-conspirators. So praise be to Jiffy. For being relied upon not only for multiple uses of the words "Crucial", "Numbers", "Bang" and even one "Dummy runner"; but more so for refusing, Steve Ryder-style, to capitulate to minority 'empowerment' by steadfastly pronouncing Lamont properly. I tell you, if a player had got knocked out and he'd said "Bang! R-r-r-ight on the snoooooze button!" I'd have soiled myself. And then, in the Red Button forum, for standing firm against the opinions of Shane "Charisma Bypass" Williams (who incidentally made a serious wardrobe faux pas by breaching the No Jeans rule) and Andy "I'm not biased" Nichol, who insist Wales will trample all over England at Twickenham.
Alright, they'll probably win, but good old Jiffy's not prone to jingoistic hubris. Oh no, he plays his cards close to his chest, remains circumspect, bridges his fingers in front of his nose and quietly says that the young England side have won two away so let's just wait and see shall we, with a glint in his eye. Good on you Jiffy, my 'mutual' friend. Spen The Viking
