Where Was The Sky Tv Coverage?

[Buenchico]

Where were the international broadcasting teams?

Why weren't TV soaps all ditched to provide coverage of it?

I just don't understand it. A World Championship event taking here in Suffolk and hardly a mention in the media :(

Something more boring than Cricket and Morris dancing?

[vetuste_ennemi]

No digital media coverage at all?

[albaqwerty]

obviously Sky news didn't have their finger on the pulse

[vetuste_ennemi]

I wonder what Nailit thinks of it all.

Where's Suffolk? Is it near Wales? :-)

[Buenchico]

Oi! Susan! You can't possibly knock cricket after the amazing scenes at the World Cricket Cup Final and the crazy Test match against Ireland

. . . and my web galleries do seem to include photos of Morris dancing too!

If there was no digital media coverage, V_E, my link wouldn't work, would it?

LOL @ Alba!

I used to live just down the road from Wales, NJ ;-)

Are you in of the Morris dancing photos?

I forgot how cute your babies were as kittens.

Cricket wasn't an option when I was at school. I believe that there is a Perthshire team.

LOL funny I had a call from Sky today telling what a good deal they could do for me, from £40 per month down to £20 per month, we dont have sky, plenty enough channels on freeview. I ended hanging up in the end.

'Wales is a village and a civil parish'

as opposed to an uncivil one? (I sometimes wonder.....and wander..)

Are people who come from the village of Wales welsh or walsean?

My "joke" obviously didn't work, Buenchico.

VE's long list of failures extended yet again.

[Buenchico]

No, I'm not a Morris dancer myself, Susan. (I've known loads of people who were though. Morris dancing seems to be particularly popular with teachers for some reason!)

The feline foursome are still rather 'cute' but just in a different sort of way. Biscuit is on my knee, playing the 'cute' card, right now.

I loved cricket at school but only the most talented boys got to play it during games lessons. The rest of us had to do athletics instead - boring!

Perhaps you should get Sky, Tony? They might offer you coverage of some unusual sporting events ;-)

Alba:
Your mind obviously works in the same weird way as mine does with words. For example, I was eating the contents of a can of hot dogs the other day, straight from the can. I wondered whether I was eating 'cold dogs' or 'cold hot dogs'. If it was the former, I'd be eating something that, according to the dictionary, doesn't exist. If it was the latter, I'd be eating an oxymoron. Is an oxymoron, I wondered, more tasty than a non-existent thing? Can you put mustard on an oxymoron?

V_E:
Your joke did work but only very slowly. It finally reached my brain after I'd posted ;-)

If Wales is now a village you might refer to it as a "Cambrian implosion".

[Peter Pedant]

well its thumbs down for that

[Buenchico]

I'll thumb my nose at your comment, PP ;-)

Chris, the world should be scared lol

In the company for 24-28 year old young men t'other night I referred to a joint as a 'Sinatra'
Was asked the obvious question and gave the obvious answer, was then told they appreciated the train of thought. They've only ever been the only ones who have appreciated my train of thought.

[Buenchico]

I hope that you weren't referring to Definition 3 here, Alba ;-)

Chris thanks for your post but think I will just stick to my free view and just have to wait for F1 highlights rather than the live stuff. Could not justify the expense.

[albaqwerty]

afraid so, Chris :-)
Strangers in the Night is a good example lol

talking of expense Tony, thanks for the reminder, got a Q to ask xx
