    I do enjoy golf on the tv, it's the only sport I would watch. However, although I enjoyed the concept of Master of Photography, I really don't understand what they say about the 'missions' or the final images - just all gobbledygook to me. At this point I should confess that I have just started taking photographs at the local whippet racing club which I thoroughly enjoy so that is my only involvement in sport either live or televised.

    I appear to have lost the 'edit button'?????

    It may not be opera, but there's plenty of screeching, at a wavelength normally reserved for dolphins, on the Proms.

    I agree, @B3 - golf is pretty pointless, though it does get my rather statically-inclined OH walking... and the view can be good.  In my early courting days I occasionally walked round with hubby-to-be when he was playing golf, getting a certain amount of enjoyment from finding wild flowers (and HTB's lost golf balls) in the rough.   :)

    The same can't be said for darts, however.  Surely that must be the most boring televised sport ever...

    I can remember watching snooker on a black & white telly .... there wasn’t a lot on the box back in those days :flushed:

    Then there's two men hitting each other until one can't get up again.

    Don’t watch that ... haven’t watched it since 1988 when news footage from Belfast  of two soldiers being dragged from their car, stripped and beaten before being shot was broadcast on the 9 O’clock News and then a boxing match was broadcast ... in my mind the baying mob around the boxing ring was the same as the baying mob around those soldiers as they were being beaten ... I vowed there and then never to watch another boxing match and I never have and never will.

    And for those of you with a b/w tv, the red ball’s behind the blue one.

    Careful @Orchidia. The mention of c**s and b****t is a breach of thread ettiquette.😊
