I can't believe that pubs show football. What a load of tedious w@nk.


Horses for courses Jah. It wouldn't be top of my list of Saturday pub treats, but god knows, I've sat through some bloody boring football in the pub in my time. S'why god invented the newspaper, innit?

As Rosie is pointing out, some of these posts belong on a ?why I don?t like X factor? thread rather than someone innocently looking for a pub that shows it. (I?ve made the same mistake on the apprentice thread)


So if you don?t like it but want to beeatch about it start your own thread ya bullies (and after what they have done to ?Heroes? I?ll join you)

Not in this country it ain't.

Actually Jah, I don't think he is.


We do already have event TV in this country, it's just that it's communal only in the sense that it's tweeted and facebooked and watercoolered about, rather than watched all together.


That doesn't mean that a pub shouldn't encourage the watching together. Broken down, something like X Factor makes good group TV, because you have performances and scores, it encourages conversation, rather than something like Corrie, that it's a bit pointless to talk over.


I like what the Victoria is doing.

The pub does often show Eurovision, but that is a bit different IMO.


Next people will want Corrie & Stenders on in the pub, and that is just plain fecking wrong. Pubs used to be places where real men went in order to avoid the shite that the missus watched on the box!


Oh, and drinking wine with food is a good thing. I am all for adopting good things. This does not ean that we need to adopt silly things.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
