headlesss chicken scenario on tuesday afternoon?

Each to their own. I love watching sport and don't like: reality tv, soaps, most of the modern dramas. Why do people complain about sport on tv? There are many other options on freeview. Or maybe just do something else for a few days? I read, listen to music, garden, bake... there are many other options and, before long, the football and tennis will be over.

I hate the week after Wimbledon, I feel totally bereft.
Whilst not being a football fan, I have enjoyed many of the games so far. I think most of the fans expect us to be knocked out tonight. It doesn’t stop them supporting their national team.
Luckily we have some good cricket and rugby union and the Olympic Games coming up to keep us armchair fans going.
Perhaps it’d be a good time for all the sport haters to do their shopping.

I'm with Katy1950 I hate tennis and not keen on football either although may cheer on Italy in the final? if they get there.

My Pain Management Dr rang me this morning to say they had a cancellation for 6.45 was I interested. Yes I said not realising that the football was on. So Now Mr Barmey is watching on TV and will then follow the end bit on the radio, at least the roads will be empty.

I am not a footie fan. I do not understand why it has to be on every channel. I do not understand why we have to have a pre match and post match post mortem. And why the TV channels think everyone likes it. I am not too bothered about Wimbledon either but will watch the likes of Murray for a while. So I am a bah humbug. My plan tonight is to go in another room, either read or watch another channel on TV or I may even have a really early night.

I am someone who loves watching football. If you don't like it, Sky, Netflix and Freeview have other programmes to watch. Let those of us who enjoy it, watch it the times it is on. Tennis once a year, Football Euros every second year, world cup once on 4 years. No one holds a gun to your head to make you watch sport.

Why not put the sport on Sky, Netflix and Freeview, and let those of us who enjoy drama and documentaries enjoy those? We pay our licence fees too.

Never mind the sport, there’s often nothing on live TV I want to watch, but there always iPlayer/All4 etc. or something I’ve recorded to turn to.

Not the same, I know, but I’m reminded of dh’s old aunt (long gone now) who phoned me full of wrath one afternoon because her favourite Countdown wasn’t on.
It was the day of 9/11.?
I did try to explain about the dreadful thing that had happened, but all I got was, ‘I don’t care! I want Countdown!’

Bliss! 5pm and the sun had come out for the first time all day. I needed dishwasher tablets so what better time to walk down to Lidl and get some?
The shop was virtually empty - I only saw two other customers. It was so pleasant that I began to wish I needed more shopping!
Another pleasant walk home, enjoying the relative peace of decreased traffic, and that's the daily exercise box ticked too.
Can we have more 5pm football, please?

Well not much queuing in Aldi between five and six. Plenty of beer left too!

So glad my DH has a TV in his study. I cannot stand football (now Rugby Union is another matter!!)

I am happily watching Wimbledon in the sitting room & he is happily watching football so we are both happy.

Another chance to shop in peace on saturday evening starting at 8pm
