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.

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Really like living in a country where big brother is  looking at you -, not that it is likely to happen in UK but crime should have stricter consequences.. not just put into jail which I gather is where more bad habits are learnt.
