I AM listening.
To any Australians out there, I am also looking, so you don't need to keep telling me to "look".
And to everyone else, stop telling me that you're "not being funny", either at the "end of the day" or any other "moment in time".
Come on chaps, it's not rocket science.

Politicians favourite, invariably used when they have been caught being economical with the truth or about to perform a u-turn.
The antipodean "Ah, look", now employed by the England cricket team as well, DRIVES ME ****G BONKERS!
IGNORANT VERMIN.
That's better

O'Brien and his 'listen' drives me mad as well. It's condescending, boorish behaviour to talk to people like that, the height of bad manners in fact.
To be fair to O'Brien he's always very polite during interviews,even when asked stupid questions by Rishi.His "Listen" is just a harmless habit used with everyone.
My humble apologies to anybody who took the odds on So You Think.
I backed it at 1.41 (for easy money, as you do) and went out for a smoke but forgot to leave a really short priced lay in for protection.
As always, when I forget, it got turned over.
Facked by Frankie twice in one day.
I had an all suceesful placepot apart from the Dettori ridden Sajjhaa, which was 4th - it paid £393
(He did me up at Sandown recently with another 4th - that PP paid £505)
He has been REPORTED

Soumillon interviewed today started two of his replies with "Listen".
It's spreading like wildfire.

'You know' is another irritating utterance mostly used by the Oirish involved in racing.
Listen, one of the French jockeys yesterday also employing "listen" a lot during an interview. Presumably would be saying ecoute at the beginning of sentences in his native tongue.
"You know" used to be a thing that oiks came out with but I noticed the great Sir Henry Amherst

Q. the 2007 Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Ascot, who won it and who trained her iyo?
She didnt do much as a 3yo thoughHe should have "Listened" and sold her after the race

He's got another one now, "Do you understand.....Listen.....Do you understand"
It's a harmless habit, find it quite amusing really, listen,
I noticed that French jock Soumillon has also picked up the same habit
in his interview yesterday......all we need now is for Tommo to start ! [smiley:crazy] "Whoah there big fella, listen"

Is it just me, or is horse racing the only sport where no interviewee, participant or pundit, ever starts a sentence with the otherwise commonly used "to be honest..."
Its the only sport where if you are not 'in the club' you get looked at like some piece of dirt and get precisely f all.
In an industry literally infested with media psychophants riding the gravy train he could say whatever he wants. If someone kept saying 'now listen' to me I'd tell them to fook off.

That's why I'm not a racing hack by the way, I'd last about a week tops.

Bookmakers should open up a book: 'How many times Aiden O'Brien will say 'listen' in his next interview on the tele'.
Spread bet would be 16, you buying or selling ... lol

OP
If that's all you've got to worry about , then you're very fortunate.
What does it matter ffs. It's just a manner of speech.

he may have reconsidered his opinion in the last three years
He was at it again today at York. "Now look, listen, now listen, listen and look, listen now...."
Does my napper in, completely condescending behaviour.

I agree with Facts, for once. It's just a tic. Like the fu cking bloke at fu cking work who can't string a fu cking sentence together without fu cking swearing at least three fu cking times. Would you rather O'Brien did that?
What's his personality?
Is he by nature condescending with this being a sign or does he perhaps struggle a little to be interviewed because by nature he's a quiet and introverted individual and this is something more akin to a nervous tic?

Look it could be worse
