Never realized you taught Mups BV., or are you engaging in incitement.
Oh blast - a grammatical error

Thank you for pointing that out spitfire - no, really, thanks

Exactly, and my OH is one of those men who dislike football with a passion.

Re: Football

Don't talk to me about football Mups, my husband is a very passionate football watcher on tv. I really enjoy my two months freedom from football in the Summer but it's over with again now as football returns and it's back to every weekend with the football on tv. Hubby has the Sky Sports channels you see.

Still if you love someone it has to be give and take so I have to suffer it.

Re: Football

I don't see why it's such a problem - my mum and stepfather had their own televison sets to watch when the football season started; he watched his sport and mum watched her programmes.

Doubt if my poor old Dad would have dared put on something Mum didn't like

Seriously though, before Mum's hands got so arthritic and her sight became poor, she used to do alot of crafts, she was good with her hands. She used to decorate eggs - goose eggs, rhea eggs, etc, she even did a couple of her tortoise eggs once, they were like the Faberge eggs. They had a little telly in Mum's hobby room and in the evenings Dad used to watch the box while Mum lost herself in her hobby. Mum probably would have complained more if she hadn't got her eggs to do though!

those are the households that run smoothly

My mum always had her nose in a book unless Coronation Street or Sunday Night at the London Paladium came on, then she'd watch and I doubt my Dad would have tried to watch something else either

How strange you should mention those! I worked with children for close to 25 years and I used to teach them how to decorate eggs, Faberge type ones as well but, mainly for Christmas and Easter (we'd cut a hole in the front of the egg and put Christmas cake decorations in the Christmas ones and usually little furry chicks in the Easter ones) - a lot of fun and one of the few things the kids actually looked pleased with the finished result! They are very pretty to look at.

Re: Football

Well fancy that! Yes I can imagine your kids would have enjoyed doing that. Mum used to put little hinged doors on the front sometimes and pop things inside, or sometimes the whole egg used to be hinged in two halves, with each half decorated inside as well as out, then people or - whatever the theme was- sitting inside. She still has some she never sold left from her craft fair days, I expect she still enjoys looking at them.

Re: Football

It's as bad as politics, when things go wrong, there are too many folks to spread the blame among, this don't happen in the boxing ring, no hiding place there.
