Every weekend, if I am not going out enjoying the hectic social event that is my life (you should probably read “He doesn’t go out much” in to that line), I settle down in front of the TV. And promptly turn it off. Why? Because Saturday night TV resembles sticking an ice pick in your eye and then twisting it while singing the national anthem backwards. Wearing full battle armour. And listening to German Heavy Metal being sung by that woman who did 99 Red Balloons.
I don’t really care for a couple of gerbil looking dudes giving away prizes. It was therefore a great relief last Saturday when they had a day of Rugby. My sport of choice. This was it. Finally there was going to be something to watch at a weekend…while not out enjoying my hectic social life of not going out much. So my friend Rich arranged his birthday dinner for the same night. Rich. Mate. We need to have words about this! 
)
So I recorded it and watched it later that night after enjoying a hearty meal and a tasty beverage or two made of hops with good company.
Today I read the following:

BBC responds to rugby complaints |

Dozens of viewers have complained that too much rugby was shown on BBC One throughout Saturday. |

You can read more HERE
To get my varied opinion on this news story, rearrange these popular words:
Get. A. Life. You. Idiots. Stupid.
Yeah I know that is a bit of a teaser, but work on it and I am pretty sure you will work it out!
Come on. Eeeeevery Saturday night we get the same old crap. There are omnibus editions of scum soaps taking up almost all of Sunday or people in a church singing songs about something I don’t believe in. During the week, you can go from 6pm to 9pm and watch nothing but soaps. Then one night, they dared to put something more entertaining on. Something where you can get behind your country and support them. And 124 people complained.
Who are these people complaining? Are they part of a club where they meet up and talk nerd? “oohhh…did you see what happened to <insert stupid soap character here>? Do you think this will happen?”
Are these the same people that actually believe the character is real and have a go at the actor in real life? So what did they do? All get together and issue a strongly worded statement over a cup of horlicks and a bag of broken biscuits?
Are they unhappy that in this digital age we live in, they could not find any other atrocious attempt at making a Saturday night TV show to keep them entertained? It was 1 channel. For 1 night.
You want entertainment? Well then. Here is what you do. You stick an ice pick in your eye and then twist it while singing the national anthem backwards. Wearing a tea cosy on your head. And listening to Cher’s “The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s In His Kiss)” on backwards. (Side note. What an incredibly stupid name for a song.) And yes I know I used the ice pick in the eye twice, but really. Look what they complained about!
There is more to life. I am not lying when I say that my TV has not been turned on since we finished the Rugby at stupid o’clock in the morning on Saturday night/Sunday morning. It is now Wednesday night and it wont be on tonight either. Why? Because there is just more to life!
Go out. Meet people. Stay in. Talk about things. Just stop watching the damn soaps you crazy bunch o’ crazies!
Yes I agree. The image at the top of the page DOES look a touch dodgy. Soap indeed!

Ooooh!! Vanilla Vodka! Nummy!
Yeah, I am seriously thinking of getting out of there. At first the idea of being the smartest person there seemed a giggle…but now I am not too sure.

Its not like they show the rugby every Saturday of the year. I wish they did.
Tell you what, we could get the IRB to reschedule the games in the middle of the night so that it won’t disrupt the viewing pleasures of those nice people who need to get out more!

Spot on Gareth! I would love to spend every weekend with International Rugby on. These people have their choice every damn night of the year, and then once something others of us like and they complain! But as the report says…15 Million people tuned in. 124 people complained. I hope those 124 feel reeeeeally stupid.
But hey, a great result for both our teams huh! Although I am not gonna lie…I could do with you guys dropping a few points (read “all future points”) in the last 2 games! But it was great to see England back to playing as they should be, although a lot of improvement left to be done.

Wasn’t sure who I wanted to win, France or England.
Its not too often that I’m glad of an English victory, at least you took some points from the French.
We’ve just got a couple of tricky games and the Grand Slam is ours

I am going to be at the same point in the last ganme. Wales or France. Hmmm…that is tough. I guess France because we beat them and obviosuly I dont want Wales doing the grand slam. I do think the Irish game will be interesting though. They are getting better every game at the moment.

I do believe that if we googled, Stupid People, the dead hamster will have reached first page.

Hopefully Ireland will have a bad game, but its not going to be easy in Ireland.

Calm down Sy. Take a deep breath. Now I see why you need the soap. Nena sang 99 red balloons.
Ps- You need a lesson on keywords. lol

Yeah I asked my wife about that. I could just not bring myself to go to google and say “Which German sang that 99 red balloons song. And don’t feel bad about saying no results!”
I am fine on the keywords. I just keep forgetting to put them in!! Now do you understand why the wheel is turning but the hamster is dead!

I meant keywords in your title. lol

Those? Nooo. I like the title’s. They keep me amused making them up! Keywords would take something away from the post I think. Plus I would have to think about it. And I am not so smart. Devilishly handsome and smart can’t be in the same person you know!
