It's a very clever game and you're right, Alexander Armstrong is a suave host. But also, we'll watch almost anything on the BBC. We watched a show about the British ready-to-eat sandwich industry and if I could find it streaming somewhere, anywhere, I'd gladly watch it again. Qatar sucks.

On the other hand you will not have looked at your mobile phone which for me has been the principal means of communicating daily, nay hourly, with friends and family all over the world.

Yes, it is a useful distraction, but I prefer reading usually, or listening to the radio although even with DAB I can struggle to find something that I want to listen to.

I can judge my stress levels by how much TV I watch. The higher the stress, the more I turn to the escape of it. For some reason, it's hard for me to focus on a book at those times.

Add to the list of woes, an American sports journalist wearing a rainbow coloured shirt prevented entry and his phone taken, along with a lass wearing a rainbow cap being barred. A union slogan is something like united we are strong. Well I reckon had those who were going to wear the armbands did wear them, FIFA would not possibly have yellow carded so many stars. Paid audience for some matches and empty stadiums for other matches. The extraordinary press FIFA representative long rant trying to justify the unjustifiable. One really wonders how the entity FIFA under control of no one will spin this as a successful World Cup. Lordy, I need a drink...but not that I could get one as an average visitor punter to Qatar.

I spent a few years building a dvd collection of movies I like and planned on sitting in my TV chair and watching my way through them. That hasn't happened of course. There are blogs to read, books to read, cooking and eating to be done, and my doctor insists I walk at least two miles a day! That part hasn't happened either, because there was covid, then there was laziness and now there's maybe I don't care so much that I am now a dumpling on legs. And I'm rambling again, I'll shut up now.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-50817687835703051782022-11-22T08:25:55.948+00:002022-11-22T08:25:55.948+00:00Oh, is there football on at the moment then?
