Champions League Mania
Why is everybody getting so het up about a football match between two teams in which I have little or no interest?
The Times this morning carries a 16-page supplement, which just went straight in the recycling. Apparently most papers have these, so I suspect chip shops won’t be short of unread papers for their products.
I shan’t really be watching, because it’s on ITV and the coverage will be destroyed by the advert breaks. Insead, I shall be listening on the radio and might have the pictures in the background. It should also be noted that the TV is a few seconds behind the radio, so you always hear it first on the more important media.

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

It wouldn’t be so bad if newspapers didn’t intertwine all the supplements and inserts. Because they do, it’s difficult to bin the bits you don’t want.
Anyway as I don’t live in Surrey, I’m not interested in Manchester United.

Coverage destroyed by ad breaks? They don’t have them during the game. Not yet anyway.

As a coeliac most of the food advertised on television would make me ill. I also don’t want a pasy day loan etc. I’d pay extra to watch football without adverts. That’s why I prefer to see it live and usually watch it with the Radio 5 Live commentary.
I’ll bet you anything yiou like, but within the next ten years they’ll find some way to have adverts all the time.

5Live has the moronic Alan Green as a commentator…if only he could be silenced.

He’s not my favourite, either.
But then I’m old enough to remember Peter Jones!
