    On the plus side all the World Cup / Tennis / Commonwealth Games reports keep Salmond and Sturgeon's ugly mugs off the screen a little bit ;)
    True, Salmond's face looks like Flounder from The Little Mermaid after being kissing Donald Trump :)

    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    What I really hate is when there's nothing to complain about!

    I'm not interested in the World Cup so I don't watch it. It's quite easy to avoid!

    Why should people have to do that just for some stupid sporting event? TV at the moment is rubbish with repeats. You want to make people go out walking for hours just to avoid it? Why should people have to go to bed early if they don't want to.

    The thing that really Pees me off. Is the news will be England England chances, lost, win, oh one of the team farted. Will be the headline news on the TV. Makes no difference if wars breakout, hundreds killed that day. No the main news stories will be England and football.:mad:

    The rant of someone that needs to get a life!

    I do have one. But refuse to let people tell me, "well if you don't like it do this or that".

    I'm not particularly interested in football, I'll possibly watch England if they're not playing at stupid o'clock.

    Our local pub has a few screens and it seems to be wall-to-wall football since the World Cup started.

    BUT: I guess I can't complain as they showed a lot of the Olympics which DID interest me.
