Sheer Bliss!

Saturday at 4:30pm on the 7th June 2008 on BBC1 is the start of wall-to-wall football on telly for a few weeks.

Oh the joy! The bliss!

I suppose we will get the anti-football (pro soaps) whingers moaning about too much ‘football on TV’ and it ought not be allowed etc.

Well please give it a rest. Euro 2008 is only on for a few weeks every four years. Soaps are on practically every evening the whole year round. We who enjoy football don’t begrudge your soaps even if they are much more wall-to-wall than football ever is, so just learn to live with it like we do.

Shame on you for posting this in General Chat

I don't watch soaps or sport - should I complain that I dont get value for money from my licence fee?

The perfect distraction from life changing exams

Exactly. This is a typical Jambutty posting, the only purpose being to wind people up. Disgraceful!

What is bliss for some.....is misery for others.

And you're the first to whinge over wasting public money. The BBC are sending over a 100 staff out to that s**thole south of Dover in order to cover this tournament, at a cost running in to several million. Who gives a dam who wins? It seems to me the money would have been far better spent on televising lower league action in the coming season and putting money into clubs like Stanley rather than chucking it away on this Euro garbage.

Don't put me on a par with the likes of Jambutty, Jaysay or Royboy. Unlike them,I am serious.

Exactly!

Soaps, reality TV, make overs, buying a house abroad to name just a few, are misery for me. But you don’t hear me whinging about them – I know how to use the channel changer.

I accept that if there is a programme that I don’t like on TV there are plenty others to choose from for FREE.

Unlike some people I’m not so arrogant that I expect the world to revolve around me and my desires. I go by the maxim of “Live and let live.”

For more years than I care to remember women have forever been moaning about “too much sport on TV” and in particular football when the World Cup comes around and now the European Cup. Not a peep when Wimbledon comes round though or snooker.
