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.

    • This is NEXT WEDNESDAY 11 June! Just turn up if you prefer not to give prior notice! The Palmerston from  7pm, turn left as you come in! (If you have been hiding under a rock, The Palmerston is the pub on Lordship Lane on the corner of North Cross Road).
    • Yes, at first I assumed that the bin men had taken flowering plants from my front garden while getting at my brown food bin, instead of reaching over the wall. I was very confused as I couldn't see any obvious gaps. Surely taking Toadflax from a resident's wall is not part of the council's remit? What next, are they going to come round and trim hedges in front gardens? 🤬
    • Oh, so that was the council.  Someone ripped some lovely flowering Toadflax from our wall and threw it in the gutter.  I assumed that a child had done it.  How strange?
    • Black open bag found on pavement on Goodrich Road this morning filled with electrical type items. Please message me if yours with description of what should be inside. Thanks
