It's that
time of year again folks! Silly tennis
coverage on telly will play havoc to the BEEB's schedule. I'm not interested in the tennis itself but I
know that are a lot of folks who are. so I don't begrudge them being able to
watch it. I do get angry though when the
BEEB starts playing silly buggers with telly shows during this two week
period. If a game is still going on
coming up 6pm they will switch coverage of the news from BBC1 to BBC2 - even
though that is where it's been on all afternoon. Why not leave it there instead of moving
it. There have been times when the same
bloody game has been shown live on both channels! Why for pete's sake?
Yes, I have
complained to them over it and as per usual they have always ignored my
comments and haven't even replied to say they have received it even. They just go on in their own way ignoring
every one else no matter what they say, and that too seems to be par for the
course for them. Of course they did act
when the Savile story broke, but I'm not sure they would have done if there
hadn't have been possible criminal and or political repercussions over it.
It's not
just with tennis though is it? If
there's a footy match on, or even worse, cricket, they will change everything
to keep it on.
Regular readers will know
about my views on the BEEBs appalling weather forecasting. So why do I watch it the BEEB and not change
to ITV? Well, the news coverage is
usually far better on the BEEB. And
don't forget, we pay their wages with our telly licences!
Jan couldn't
get the blade fuses yesterday so I shall be off into town soon to try to get them
at Halfords. I might well find my way
round to the Willy White on my travels too.
We'll see ;-)))
Another bird
photo today ...
a grey heron at Blacktoft.
And today's
funny is ...
I looked at
the destruction. Smashed windows, cars turned upside down, buses on fire,
people running scared, police unsure what move to make....
I turned to the wife and said, "Chin up darling, you did your best, maybe I should park the car?!"
