This afternoon at 1.15pm I rushed to my shed and got a piece of board 38" x
26" and hung it on the front of the TV............then painted it and
watched it dry.

The new Silverstone
circuit.............bbbbooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrri iiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggggggg.

I went for a ride and had 2 punctures - far more 'interesting' than
watching bozos in boxen polluting the planet.
Saw 4 hares and a fox and some flowers not seen on verges and, being off
road some of the time (looking for flat tyres it would seem), v. little
traffic.

This evening: TdF then water the garden as there's nowr else on.

But why does it have to be shown live on both BBC1 and ITV1. Especially
for those still on analogue, this greatly reduces the choice for those
not wanting to watch football. Also does the live coverage have to last
3½ hours - the players must have a lot of stamina for the game to last
anything like that long.

No idea.

It only reduces the choice by 20%.

It is at times like these that people should get out the DVD or media player.

Those who want choice should have got a satellite dish by now
[ except where a satellite dish cannot be installed due to location,
local regulations etc]

Why do cricket matches have to last several days? ;)

Not shown on two channels for two weeks though (to show a six day match).

Well, I wondered something similar, like how to get to the Lecht ski
centre every weekend over the winter for the kids ski racing club.

However, on the other side of the coin, I'm committed to cycling the
'Snow Road's next summer, which takes in this spectacular route.
Without the snow! ( Event does 300Km, 4200M of ascent. Starts and
finishes at Kirriemuir, takes in the Cairn O'Mount, the Lecht, and
Glenshee. )

You know soon, computer generated graphics will mean you can drive in your
own GP on your own system, and no drivers will ever be needed. You can
design your own circuit and pit yourself against the best drivers of
history.
