Also your in dreamland if you think Graham Bell pays for any of his own gear.... freebies every season with enough to kit himself and a few extra people out!!

Brimster (who is definitely not a guy) - that is what I was hinting at.

Good quality, but hardly at the peak of fashionable is it?
Bells jacket was hideous. The sallos were bordering on gay.

Sorry Pablo (who definitely is a guy and not a girl as far as I am aware but who really knows!?) I was actually just trying to confirm or agree with what was said.

I will try harder in the future :shock:

Think I'm going to have to hunt out some highlight of the action so far and the interviews to find out what Mr Bell and his co-presenters are wearing but judging by the comments its not big and its not clever.....

:lol:

Bell was wearing full Kjus ski wear which (when he was commenting on the cancellation of the downhill) I didn't think was too bad at all.

I may just be being dumb but Kjus is not a brand that springs to mind... judging by the result on google they are German!?!?

Off hunting some clips on iplayer my thoughts will appear
