 Nice scenery on the TDF, that's about it. No jumps, wheelies, drifts or anything of any interest at all.

 But they're only fun to do not to watch...
|

 Its all good in small doses as its all about riding bikes.The only sport I can watch for more than a couple of hours is cricket.Thats the beauty of cricket.

|
 Cricket is neither fun to watch or do!

 Cricket is close to Chinese water torture.

Admittingly, there are boring parts, but the sprints with Cav were good, as are watching everyone fall apart on the climbs. With no real winner in place till half way through, it was the most open I've seen for a while. Other years though, have been somewhat predictable. The pen-ultimate stage climb was great TV especially with a Brit involved. Rest is like 5 day cricket, ambient sports. Not necessarily a bad thing, for the man at leisure.

I am a busy man Gav. I want my sports to be decided very quickly. An hour at most, not a bloody fortnight!

Cricket is close to Chinese water torture. Sitting outside in the English sun drinking beer...I can't see anything terrible about that
|
|
Cricket on the radio - could there be anything more tedious? Even playing it is completely dull. I got into snooker on the telly, but you really do need at well-filled bong at hand for that. Golf on the telly is a great ambient sport

Maybe you've got to be from Lancashire to like cricket?
|
|
No, you have got to be a chav, spending all day in the sun drinking beer going lobster, but with pretensions of being middle class, despite all the obvious characteristics that reveal your true identity.

Were you chastised with a cricket bat as a child?
|

Golf is even more boring than cricket in a way, yet is perfect leave it on the background TV with Peter Allises inane but strangely smoothing commentary passing the afternoon away. Drugs may help at this point. You have some hang ups there MSP, and are incorrect. Class doesn't really come into, it's probably more a 'I wish the world was like it was in the 50's' sort of mentality like the Daily Express/Diana Mail.

Golf on the Playstation / Xbox is possibly the most relaxing way to pass a few hours.
|
|
 Nintendo Wii has the best golf game. Nothing beats scoring a double bogey with the shower iron  ...
|
|
 ambient sport I like this concept. scoring a double bogey with the shower iron This is a euphemism for something spectacularly deviant, yes?
|
|
Nope - more a reference to the greatest Pauly shore film ever (I can't even type that with a straight face), namely Biodome... In one scene one of the characters in the film calls it a 'non-stop moronathon', so that's good enough for me . It's also the only film I know of with Kylie Minogue in it  .
|
|
Kylie Minogue was in a 1993? film called 'the delinquents' and it was really quite raunchy. Pauly Shores Biodome is absioluely terrible...but possibly slight better than California Man.
