    I was always useless at sport, so maybe that's why I enjoy watching others playing sport at the top level.  I'd much rather watch sport than most of the carp that's on TV these days.

    I'd rather eat my own flesh than watch sport. ( except men's diving )

    Flicking past the tennis, I noted that whoever was playing was easy on the eye but that wasn't enough to stop me from moving on

    I'm mystified by this comment. How on earth did you manage to find something other than tennis? Was it cricket?

    I love football, tennis, cricket, the Olympics; I iron duvets, towels, tea towels, J cloths, microfibre dusters, underwear; I admire Monty Don; I think I’m a fish out of water.

    Is it me, or has the number of non-recyclable plastics increased rather than decreased?
    I must have checked originally, but I always recycled the clear plastic trays (not the black ones) that things like 'cold' non-deli meat are in in a SM. We had a bin strike here recently, so I was checking what I was recycling rather than just doing it by rote, and the clear trays aren't 'now' recyclable - maybe that was always the case and I was doing it wrong for years, but there seems to be more stuff now marked as 'Don't recycle at home', rather than the other way round,

    I think it depends where you live @steveTu . I know people who can put more-or-less any plastics in their recycling bin (yogurt pots, fruit trays etc) but here it has to be bottle-shaped. Other plastics are apparently separated out from the general rubbish along with other "residual recyclables" at the waste treatment facility - I assume they get more money for bottles collected separately.
