Tourettes

It's a shame that the BBC's iPlayer, touted to make the unmissable unmissable, only carries the Today programme, well - for today. It means that if you missed Rob Bonnet's interview with Nic Coward yesterday morning, you have, well - missed it. So it was an unmissable thing that you missed. Except that luckily for you, you can always just listen to Nic's next interview to hear it again, whatever the subject matter of that next interview happens to be, because it appears that his nervous tick has not disappeared. Ostensibly on the programme to talk about the reduction of races in the fixture list, in actuality -  comme c'est étrange! - he name-checked one betting operator as being the cause of cuts. Yes, honest: in the face of questions from Rob over his leadership of British racing, Nic pronounced that it is all Betfair's fault. If he were doing George Osborne's job, Betfair would probably be at the root of the national cuts as well. Truly and honestly, this could be a mild case of Tourettes.
