TV and Film

I'm afraid I am not a football fan: never have been, never will be.

Still, I can appreciate it's exciting and all that. Also, women's football has come to the forefront of media attention.

Way to go our women!

Local team? How often do they play in Yorkshire? 

I don't generally watch any football but do get involved in the discussion among the guys at our art group sometimes. They are always discussing the current state of teams etc.

I do agree strongly with you.

Even I am watching less and less TV now. Even the BBC news is tending to spend almost the entire program on a single news item. A few minutes with the actual news item, which is important, and then the next twenty with various peoples opinions and irrelevant speculation on what may or may not happen. It did the rounds with Brexit, continued with covid, had a bit of the Ukraine war, has a least a day and often even more with any government thing, and now the queen, to be closely followed by Charles. One thing I did notice yesterday that, on Sky news which I have followed their thread on the Ukraine war, there were no entries at all for yesterday when I looked in the evening. It cannot be that nothing is happening. It's maybe the manipulative nature of the media. You will see and hear only what we want you to!

I don't doubt the importance of any of the events and, being a royalist, am truly saddened by the current one but to listen to various nobodies whinging and whining on effectively dragging out the agony is not on for me. I remember a while ago tuning in my radio to a English speaking program on Swedish radio and basking in the delights of simple informative local news about people getting things done, not problems and their resulting threats.
