I do hope the screaming is toned down, Sylvia.

I admit to playing a lot of tennis when I was young and I often watched it on telly but not now. I use the 'off' button rather than mute the sound as I am disillusioned with it all.

Try growing garlic up the path and a crucifix on your front door

Kept my Mother in law well away
for years :-D :-D

But I always kept a big stake and a 3 pound hammer
behind the door for emergency's :-D :-D

Either would be preferable to having his mother come round.

pick my eyes out with a pin :-D :-D

Why is there a sports channel at all?

Bobtanian

Bobtanian Report 15 Sep 2015 10:25

why isn't there a sports channel that doesn't involved field n track, balls of any kind,

namely Archery, Shooting, etc, these sports involve skills, talent,mental ability rather than Physical fitness...........

You don't see it very often, illustrating the concept that there is always something to be grateful for, but there is that cycling thing where they go round very , very slowly and then have a burst of speed at the very end.

Why don't they just do the quick bit and get it over with?

it's awful!


......... and it is almost always the women who do it.

I do understand that they are going to have to tone it down after this season :-D

but Sharron at least while they wander about and putter around, everyone speaks in hushed tones

... and no one blows whistles

then there is tennis, the tall dude's other inexplicable fixation

thock ... thock ... thock ... thock thock ... and it's over

... and then it starts again
