lil_me Report post Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) I think I'm lucky my partner is at work, which unluckily for him means driving drunk and rowdy people in the taxis. Being in Durham its a bit of a mixed bag, some Sunderland some Newcastle supporters, some neither so tends to be fights galore after derby matches, I think he intends coming home before 5pm. <'> It'll be over soon tho carole, and I wouldn't even consider offering tea/coffee, let them help themselves. Next time make sure you have the date in advance so you can go out. Leave them to it. Edited October 23, 2005 by lil_me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barefoot wend Report post Posted October 23, 2005 I can enjoy a really good match - but there aren't many of those. My bugbear is that it isn't just football - it's cricket, tennis, golf..etc. AND, even worse than just watching it, is the fact that hubbie and kids also play. Which means muggins here has the delightful task of cleaning smelly kit and shoes!!!!!! And..... you've got me going now......daughter's doing Duke of Edinburgh in the Peak District as we speak so I'll have muddy boots, wet tents, soggy clothes, kit bags, etc to deal with on Tuesday. Urrrrrggggghhhhh!!!!!!! Good job I got my degree. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zemanski Report post Posted October 23, 2005 at least they are active participants and enjoying getting some exercise, Lil me, isn't that really the point of sports? what I can't understand is this obsession with watching other people do it Zemanski Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lil_me Report post Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) They can get all the exercise they want doing it, just wish they didn't broadcast it live on TV around the clock when its on. Also when the cricket is on up here they close the car park for one of the best childrens parks to use for additional parking and traffic is chaos Edited October 23, 2005 by lil_me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mandyque Report post Posted October 23, 2005 This is the biggest reason I am happy to be divorced Ex was a football obsessive and it dominated his weekends and drove me to distraction, nothing was more important than the match, and the Sunday leaguers, and the drinks after the game which would last all day and night Sunday I'm so glad my teenage lad is into music and not sports!

call me jaded Report post Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) Oh a subject dear to my heart. Mr Jaded was married to football before he ever met me. We got Sky the minute football disappeared off terrestial. I am totally used to him appearing with somebody I've never met to watch some game or other. He doesn't do it much now because with 4 kids it is impossible to get through a game in peace. Now he phones me from the pub.

Have fun and keep those mens feet firmly on the ground!! I went to see a rugby match once at my local stadium (Wales playing France) and I quite enjoyed it.
