Am i the only female who is getting annoyed by the endless countdown to the world cup? im only to aware that in eleven days i will lose my husband to the tv with the daydream of England winning it (never will !!!!!
) then after the world cup cricket continues ( Big brother starts very soon as well for the reality lovers
) I believe there is far to much sport on tv and its dull as dish water.

Big Brother! now that is rubbish along with BGT X Factor Jeremy Kyle all the Soaps etc etc etc, thank God for Sky Sports
Sky sports is a waste of a channel that could be used for a nice cookery program.

A science channel with no silly, minute filling waffle, an intelligent, knowledgeable presenter without any stupid facial expressions or contortions and no silly synthesized background music, (the general public may assume an orchestra automatically starts playing when there`s an eruption, tsunami or earthquake). And no adverts of course, which avoids those silly, pathetic idiots who perform when a sponsored programme is being shown, (normally seen on my way through the living room). No, this sort of channel couldn`t exist in this day and age, so I`ll leave the box alone again for a few more years yet. I will be having the odd view though of some world cup matches via my daughter`s TV in her room.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

Sky are always calling to try and encourage us to add a film and sport package to our contract. They always let out howls of disbelief when informed that we're not intrested in even one sports channel, often with the cry of "but you don't have any". They never seem to understand how happy you can be without one. until they try and tag one onto the documentary package I suppose.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

Chris, some years ago, BT rung and this lovely young girl the other end was on a real high at offering me a free mobile phone, which I could use anywhere`s in the house to connect with our main one. I politely thanked her, and that I didn`t want one, and then she went on about we only have the one in the living room and kept repeating that free word. I couldn`t get through to her that I didn`t want one to use in the bedroom or conservatory. She became speechless and confused, the reason being I suspect that she wasn`t programmed for someone to say NO.

World Cup? Bring it on, at least it means I won't have to sit through the endless dross that the ordinary non-sporting world has to offer: Eastenders, Corrie, Home & Away, Doctors, Holby City, Blah, Blah and Blah.............I have to sit through this drivel almost every day, and now........it's payback time!
I should point out that I actually refuse to sit through all that nonsense, I just can't bear it. I prefer to sit upstairs and play online Scrabble or dabble on Dover Forum. It's my world, and I'm at peace here!

This is a football free house if anyone wants to come round!
Les isn't a great football fan and neither am I although obviously I hope we do well.
Melissa, to answer your question: YES (except Bern who is now salivating about thighs)
Andy, a huge DITTO from me on that.
Luckily my daughter is a huge soccer fan, so we have already laid claim to the tv, but Hazel can record her hours of drossvision for viewiong inbetween matches.
Freebies? I was called a few weeks back to be told I had won a competition for a 14 day AEP holiday in the Canaries. When I announced not having entered a competion they were adament(?) that I should take this FREE holiday. After all, how often is that you win a FREE holiday? As the saying goes, "if it's too good to be true, it probably is". On that basis is refused to accept the prize. Foolhardy? I think not.

Andy, have another room put on mate if you can like I did. TV free, phone free a music, reading and guest room, even if it is only a small conservatory. You can always slip a tv in there if you want. Like Sid, I may watch the odd game in my daughter`s room.

Melissa - I think there is a clear message here that not all us males like football. My house will be a sport free zone, as always and yes I aam sick and tired of the excessive hype. I am thankful for my Humax PVR as I dont have to watch tv live anymore, I record every programme I want to see and can click a button to jump through the commercials and hype. You are right dull as ditchwater sport.
