Good thinking - patent it - you may end up rich!

I agree Tessa! I wouldn't mind if it was for one special event but over the last few weeks there has been Ladies football world cup, Ascot racing, Wimbledon and a few other sports.
It is a bit late to try and get us older ones fit , yet we are expected to pay the same license fee as the younger people who enjoy these sports. I often end up watching films/programmes I have seen a few times before!

Re: Things that annoy you!

New moan!
People who put spikes on their fences!
My cat Paolo is very timid, huge and fluffy but scared of everything. This week I'm dog sitting my daughter's Chi x Bichon, which is about a third of Paolo's size, but scary enough for Paolo not to want to stay in.
Well, Paolo went missing, didn't come into the garden even for food, which is the usual ritual if anyone or anything scary comes to stay.

I even posted on local FB that one huge fluffy grey cat was missing, check sheds etc.
Gypsy was in the garden meowing up at the fence. Paolo couldn't cross a row of spikes the guy at the back had put along his fence to "stop the birds sitting on it".

A step ladder and help was needed to get that scaredy cat down! Shut in the bedroom with food now!

Glad you got him back Tess!
What a stupid idea putting spikes on a fence to stop birds sitting on it..... lets hope the birds get their timing right & poop on his fence as they fly over it!

My guess is that it's not to stop birds but to stop scumbag thieves. My dad used to cement glass to the top of the wall years ago which did the trick (he found blood there a few times). Of course nowadays he would be arrested for being nasty towards up and coming robbers.

Re: Things that annoy you!

The fence is only between my nextdoor neighbours (60's windchimes) and the guy's garden. Them nextdoor think it was done to stop their very elderly, frail cat, now deceased from getting into his garden. Nextdoor had complained about the man's labrador barking everytime they go into their garden, he barks if I make a noise in my garden too, outside all day on his own. Also nextdoor like feeding the birds so he was being nasty.

I take your point. I watch just a few things on television but an event like Wimbledon wipes everything else out.

I agree totally, Tess.

There is a sports channel I understand, so why can't all the sport be shown there?

As you say, to put it on BBC 1 AND 2, is just wrong imo.
