No I don't. I also get pis$ed off with tennis, cricket, and all the other sports that the TV companies think the majority of the population are interested in. There was a survey done a few years ago that showed that more people went to church on sundays than watched football on the TV.Last edited by bearded bloke; 19-07-2015, 07:32 PM.

I went to have Sunday lunch with my son and walking to the venue I waved to a friend on the other side of the road. I put my shoe in a grating and took a tumble. Immediate pain was my nose which hit the pavement. Several people helped me up (thankyou) and I continued to the eatery.
We are now 4 1/2 hours on. My nose is a bit sore and has a scab on it. Pains that I hadn't noticed at the time are appearing. The worst is my left arm, shoulder, and wrist. About 18 months ago I tore a ligament in my left shoulder. It has taken 18 months to get to the stage where I can do my bra up again. Talking to a friend I said I thought I'd broken a bone in my left wrist. He said you'll know if it's swollen. I put the two wrists side by side. He said "It's swollen". Yes, I know. I know that the best I can do is just let it all heal. All I wanted was a meal with my son."I prefer rogues to imbeciles as they sometimes take a rest" (Alexander Dumas)

Really? I only know a couple of people who go to church (ignoring weddings and christenings) and a heck of a lot if people that subscribe to sports channels primarily for the football, some of whom are season ticket holders too and watch it live. Am struggling to think if any households I know where at least one person doesn't watch regularly through the season.Originally posted by JanieB View Post
My rant is that this wasn't on the rant thread when I replied and so I didn't need to rant, now it is, so I do

She didn't get it.
They didn't tell her. We had to ring them three times to be told.
We asked why she didn't get get it......
They say we have to take her their 'feedback session' in North London to find out.
Honestly....you couldn't make it up.Comment
