F1: the innocence of James Allen

By Andy Darley

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

Ha! We were worried that the BBC had trashed its sporting quote of the week column as we couldn’t find it on the site.

Happily, we were wrong and they’ve published our submission of James Allen’s piece of unconscious Carry On comedy from the Monaco podium: “There’s no feeling quite like shaking hands with Prince Albert.”

Nice to know someone at the BBC has a mind as filthy as ours… even if JA hasn’t.
