I have been wondering who, if anyone other than those involved, has the remotest interest in the BAFTAS, Oscars, Sony radio awards etc etc.
Every profession has its self congratulary beano each year when awards for lifetime achievements in wall plastering and the best innovation in plastering in the last year are awarded and no doubt wall plasterers get quite worked up about it, but only media types get the chance to bore the pants off the rest of the nation for hours by broadcasting their plastering awards to the world.
Last night I was Home Alone. I turned the radio on, wall to wall BAFTAS. I turned the television on and ran through all the Freeview programmes, if they werent broadcasting the BAFTAS, they were reporting on them extensively on the news. In the end I settled down with a DVD.
I got my daily papers this morning and - you guessed it - BAFTAS, what the guests were wearing, which award was the biggest surprise.
I really couldnt care less and it would be nice if the media types that run these beanos could limit the coverage to news coverage only and give the rest of the world something interesting to watch instead.
