How football sounds to people that don't care...

[Matt J]

Can't wait for the World cup, especially since England have no hope what-so-ever I feel like I can enjoy it more without incredulous over-expectation from the media.
The games are on BBC1 and ITV and there is never anything good to watch on those channels anyway (unless you like 'Eastenders' 'Coronation street' and 'come dine my fat dog with neighbours from hell while baking off with ant and dec)

[DanJ]

There were, at the last count, well over a hundred channels on UK television

None of which were showing anything worth watching last night, BBC4 had a program on a lost city of pyramids in Northern Peru which should have been intersting but turned out to be 15 minutes of actual interest with a lot of padding and dodgy reconstructions, even archiology ain't what it used to be.

On the positive side I did cook a very nice steak, have a couple of glasses of excellent wine, paint the trousers on my next battalion of French 1914 infantry get the packing done for going to Normandy on Saturday.

FORGET TELLY, RECLAIM YOUR LIFE

Well, I'm exploring the possibilities inherent in Asian mushrooms as a pizza topping this evening, now that the little lady has finished baking her profiteroles. And we may play some shogi later on....

I'm quite looking forward to it as well, as the games are all in the evening/night, so I'll be able to watch some for a change!

is that because you're at work at that time

Are they like 'magic mushrooms'?

[Leon]

is that because you're at work at that time 

No TV at work unfortunately (except online through the computer), but I'm hoping to be able to get some early finishes and get home for some of the games.  The first one is the same day as the Phalanx show, so I'll try and stay awake after we get home for that.

Is that a euphemism? 

[FierceKitty]

i) The magic in the mushrooms was purely culinary; ii) the activities for which it might have been a euphemism have already been right thoroughly attended to, thank you for the thought.

We get quite a few folk wandering over the fields and the common, over the road, picking different types of those 'growing wild' over here.
And NO....I do NOT try ANY of them....Though there are certain ones that I can identify...with a 99% certainty.
(I wouldn't eat ANY sort of 'mushroom', if I hadn't bought it from the supermarket.....It's the 1% that might kill me, that I worry about !)

Cheers - Phil

I can identify two edible types, and in my mushrooming days I kept rigidly to those.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Just so much that can go wrong with mushrooming. Apart from the obvious puffball I stay well away.

The 'neighbours', 600 yards over the road, get a lot of HUGE (almost dinner plate sized) edible mushrooms in their fields, at the right time of year....They eat them....I wouldn't.

You don't know what you're missing, Phil. Fresh-picked wild mushrooms fried up in butter - yum!
