THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS ?

It seems the BBC have been faced with a difficult choice.   Due to their ongoing need to cutback on expenditure, they have had to decide whether to relinquish part of their exclusive coverage of F1 Motor Racing in favour of keeping their exclusive coverage of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.   So, they have come to an arrangement whereby Sky will be showing half of the F1 races which might well lead to them taking the whole F1 package from the BBC.

Now I have never seen the attraction in motor racing, with the environmentally hostile, ear splitting, processional predictability of it all which clearly appeals to those who consider Top Gear the highlight of their week`s viewing.  And as for tennis, there is even less attraction in watching so boring a game, played by a succession of grunting, screeching women and the occasional grumpy Scottish hopeful amid the pretensious surroundings of the condescending All England Club.

If the BBC had a difficult choice, mine is perfectly simple.   I won`t be watching either of them.

To each his own, Worz.

Looking forward to the beach volleyball - but might be a little `dangerous` for the BBC?

Think it`s time we invented some new sports we might win at, especially with the Olympics coming up. Barbed wire hurdling is something you`ve got to be good at?

Sorry to hear about your blog problems - at least your phone hasn`t been hacked.....has it?
