I was chatting to my next door neighbour Darren, also a football fan, about football on television. He installs industrial cables for a living and travels around the country to do it. He had just returned from an atomic weapons research establishment (they make nuclear bombs) and the conversation got round to security and the two hours it took them to get into the place even though they had security clearance.
Anyway, the conversation then turned to security in prison where he had also worked. He mentioned a reported conversation between a notorious killer, and the prison governor at Wakefield high security prison. The governor is alleged to have said that as times were tight he needed to make cutbacks. The prisoner is alleged to have said to him, 'let me get onto the same wing as the nonces and I'll make the cut backs for you.'
I prefer summer sports as I think there is too much football on television and I tire of it a bit.
ReplyDeleteWe like rugby and although we tend to watch rugby union, I'm finding rugby league to be more entertaining. Not just the short shorts, but it's more open with less stoppages.
Did you watch the Lions? I'd like to have but someone else on this house (and it's not Boris) gets a little too worked up and ruins it for me!
The Ashes starts on Wednesday too.
I agree, Rugby League is very good to watch and arguably more entertaining than Union. The Lions was very exciting, I loved it. Jan is also a Union fan so that helps. Thinking about it, I love all sport when it's played well and demonstrates real competition.
