Another pointless thread

Fair comment sir - I get 60mb Broadband,Landline and XL 150 odd channels for an average of £60 per month with Virgin - this gives me a V+ box which can record about 60 hours of tv on its hard drive so I reckon we get good value for money.

I think I deserve a Zinfandel here - cheers

It'll be bat and ball time soon as well. Then runnin, jumpin, chuckin. Arrrrrrrrrgh

Bernard

they are bat and balling now, you have to know your onions

The Beeb don't have the footie tonight, just their usual useless Sunday night offerings.
His Nibs is watching Ireland on Dutch TV. At least the second half of tonight's match. We watched a Swedish detective film first, (from Liza Marklund) with Dutch subtitles.
One Dutch TV channel is offering a murder/mystery every evening opposite the footie.

Saw a bit of the GP too, which was live on another Dutch channel. 7th winner in 7 GPs .

last 7 laps the best as well

What is the point of wasting all that champagne unless it's just fizzy water in a posh bottle. Oh hang on, that is champagne

Best thing they can do with Champagne imho. I hate the stuff.

I thought the low countries would be far more obsessed with cycling at the moment? Who's the hot favourite this year?

At the moment they are more worried about the football, especially after Saturday's dismal performance.
Wall to wall bums in the air on bikes starts when the football is nearly over (only the final to go - which won't worry the Dutch this time:wink.
No idea who the favourites are tbh.
I always like to see Bradley Wiggins do well, but I don't really follow it - just watch occasionally for the scenery (and I mean the French countryside not all those bums).

The sporting coverage completely takes over at least one channel here - now football, then cycling combined with tennis (though that will be on another channel while the cycling is on) then probably two channels worth of Olympics. Grim.
Luckily we have cable so have enough other options. I hope.

My son will be in London for the Olympics doing the sound for the Dutch TV coverage. Doesn't make me want to watch it any more though .

I love the football on TV. Gives me a good excuse to turn it off.

Most sport does it for me. I must admit I like watching the clips of the foul-up, crashes etc., and a bit of crowd violence now and then

According to the stats (link) there were 380 members simultaneously online yesterday. Was there a party that I wasn't invited to?

Which is an insignificant number out of the total membership

I didn't say it was a big party.

Was there jelly and ice cream?

Loads but everyone was more interested in the free bar, I've never seen such a variety of drinks in one place
