Sports Personality ... Seriously?
39 Answers
I missed the Sport Personality Of The Year, and I'm sure this was done to death at the time, but I heard yesterday that Lewis Hamilton won it.
Seriously?
Ahead of Lizzy Yarnold?
I was just a Stevenage boy, and my parents didn't have much money (as we are told over and over and over). So thanks for all the support, and training, and lucky I got into the Young Driver Development Programme. And now that earning £70m a year, I can make a valuable contribution to the public benefit, which will help the next generation of young sports stars.
But I'm not gonna. *** you lot. You can all *** off. I'm declaring myself no longer UK resident, so I don't have to put anything back into the system.
Not that there's anything wrong with spending a lot of time abroad, you understand.
But it's ... two fingers up at you British public ... but don't forget to vote for me.
Don't get me wrong. If he paid full UK tax, he would only be left with £40 million, and that probably doesn't buy you very much in Stevenage, but you know.
Perhaps he should've been given Overseas Sports Personality, and left the big prize for someone who lives, works, and trains in Britain, with British sports people.
Someone like Lizzy Yarnold.
Okay, rant over.
ps. As LH goes on and on and on and on about his Stevenage roots, and milks that one dry, is his ongoing connection with Stevenage ...
(a) I go back there all the time, because I'm a Stevenage boy at heart, or
(b) Thank *** I never have to go back there.
Just wondered.
Okay, rant really over, this time.

entertaining thread jayne and i do get the joke. I dont know the two ladies above at all. was one of them the dressage lady with spina bifida (or whatever). If so jolly well done. I hate all award progs and think they are a waste of time. I laughed when a lady athlete was gasping for breath and asked how she felt to 'win' a silver. she said gutted after four years training.
Why would he want to pay tax here when he doesn't reside her and spends the majority of his life moving around the world in various locations?
Hundreds if not thousands of others do exactly the same i.e. workers on cruise ships etc?
As for Lizzy Yarnold, if she was ever given the opportunity I'm sure she'd prefer to train in Switzerland/Austria/Norway/Germany far more often than she does but I'd hazard a guess that she spends a fair amount of time out of the UK anyway, surely?
