TV OR NOT TV

Yay, the rugby world cup is on and, being in England I can watch the games in real time at a sensible hour.


I don't have tickets to any of the games but if England get beaten by Australia this coming week and booted out at an early stage then the English fans will go dog on the whole thing and there might be some tickets to be had at bargain prices.

We don't have TV and I watch the games on my computer. It chews up the GB's though so I was thinking about getting TV on a temporary basis.

The Old Girl watches a bit of rugby but isn't really interested. Well, not in the games anyway.

Anyway, we went to Scotland for the weekend and stayed with The Old Girl's cousin and her partner.


Fortunately he likes his rugby so we watched a couple of the games including the England vs Wales game where England just got beaten. We had a great time, visiting the rellies and going out to dinner.
The Old Girl also got to watch Strictly Come Dancing


This clashed with the rugby on Saturday night but our hosts had one of those TVs where you can watch one programme and record another so she was able to see her programme the next morning.

After watching it she said that maybe it'd be a good idea to hire a TV for the next few months until we go home in January.

I mumbled something like "Oh, OK, if YOU think it's a good idea" while making sure she didn't see the grin on my face.

You are a sneaky old The Curmudgeon! Actually Scotland is playing really well.
