Des Lynam

Baron of smooth

This weeks Person Of The Week is none other than that legend of the television, Des Lynam. Recently immortalised on British Telly by the Arthur Smith comedy, My summer with Des, Mr Lynam is revered amongst Britons for what he is: Smoother than Omar Sharif wearing a Cashmere smoking jacket, more fragrant the roses of Mrs Potter of Lyme Regis - seven times winner of the Aroma d'or and drier than an Egyptians jockstrap during the dry season. Yes, Mr Des Lynam, the thinking man's Lounge Lizard and quite possibly the best sports presenter the world has ever known gets this prestigious award not for any specific reason, but for just being Des. Recently, Chris Evans (Famous UK DJ & TV personality) launched a campaign to try to make Des Lynam the minister for sport, Des is also famous for conducting a rather intelligent interview with his own dog during a washed out day of Wimbledon and has never knowingly made use of the phrase "...at the end of the day..." unless describing a sunset. For those of you looking forward to the World Cup and unlucky enough to be stuck in England without a ticket, console yourself with the thought that Des Lynam will be presenting your World Cup matches for you. Aren't you fortunate!

Congratulations to you, Des Lynam, GOMP (tm) Person Of The Week (tm).
