I have been enjoying a bottle of Banrock Station with some normal TV, if i didn't have a TV i would go and watch some paint dry.

BushMoot: Come along to the amazing Summer Moot 31st July - 5th August (extended Moot : 27th July - 8th August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Three reasons to like football:
1) It's better than fighting.
2) It's an excellent cross cultural platform for communication.
3) It's more exciting than cricket or golf
4) When you know what to look for it can be a very pretty game.
5) It's cheap, accessible and can be played by anybody.

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
I took the canoe out yesterday, just along the canal with both kids and SWMBO taking turns in the boat (a first for all of them
) whilst the other two walked along the tow path.
We had a bushy brew up with the Ghillie Kettle then got home and cooked chicken on the Bar B Q.
It was SO much better than stopping in watching the idiot box!

While I can accept and appreciate football for it's skill etc, as with most spectator sports I find it boring to watch. Luckily for me, out here there is no TV signal.. 
So the chance of having my IQ rotted away by the brain rot box is suitably reduced. Of course, the internet on the other hand..

No football in this house, can't stand it !

Is it one of those Bare Grills knives?
There is no way I would be caught watching soccar (big girls blouses falling over if someone looks at them hard but paid stupid money for doing so) - I class it along with Soaps, reality TV and Bear Grylls as things I can well live without!
If it was the noble game of Rugby Union I could be tempted...but even that has gone downhill since they made it a Pro game.
I will spend the next week canoeing and in the woods.
After all - I have too much of a life to bother to watch the idiot box full of silly people getting worked up over kicking a ball around....
Isn't 'rugger' just a bunch of toffie nosed wannabies running about righting old wrongdoings etc?
Almost read that as canoeing in the woods... but sounds like a damn fine plan..
What football?
I turn the telly off or over whenever anybody starts talking about over paid teenagers kicking a pigs bladder around

The Vikings (Denmark) are playing the Dutch tomorrow. Here's hoping their axes don't get in the way.

Frankly, I can think of SO many things I'd rather do, than watch football. :togo:
For example; stick large, rusty needles, smeared with dog doo doo, into my eyeballs.
I am totally bemused by the sheep like way, that even quite intelligent people, can get even mildly interested in this particular "game".:borgsmile
Rugbys not too bad

Not in the Vallies of South Wales or the concrete pitches of Soweto it aint!

Our woods are damp...but not that damp!
I have just finished packing and finished racking off my nettle wine and my birchsap wine...just going to check how many corks on my nettle beer have popped (kept in the garage in case of explosion...) then I will be off up to my woods to check on the woodpecker chicks before enjoying a roast dinner.
The first thing tomorrow I am off, away from TV and "footie" for a week!
I didn't watch the football either, and the only reason I checked the score was SWMBO's dad was playing a gig at a pub last night and I wanted to know whether there were going to be riots or not!
Soccer hasn't really caught on over here like in the rest of the world, and no, I haven't been following it at all...
For those of you who think football players are overpaid...
Speaking as someone who has sold tickets and constantly been moaned at over the price "If you think our ticket prices are too high, yes, I sympathise with you, do you see `me` buying a ticket, hey? No, Im not here to make you buy one, go spend it on beer for all I care."
And they then buy it anyway.
And the merchandise too.
If you think the players are overpaid you may stay at home and watch it on the box.
Or buy beer.
(No, its not BGs knife...Pah)
