Rant number 216
I promise to try and find something else to talk about tomorrow! At the moment though, it's hard not to cover the subject of the olympics, one way or another.
My big beef today isn't anything about how anyone has behaved. It's not about the athletes or anything.
It's just about the endless waffle that goes with it.
There is sport going on, almost non stop - from first thing in the morning until last thing at night. You'd think that this would give them something to cover wouldn't you?
Other than endless chattering on.
I mean, sport is exciting to watch - but people constantly talking about it kinda cheeses me off.
Then there is the many channels that the BBC are showing only on Sky. How is that fair? I have to pay for the BBC but I don't have to pay for sky. Why does the TV license money get to go to those who pay for TV? That's stupid
And then there is the iPlayer coverage.
I wanted to watch the shooting and the archery this evening, and promptly I put these into the search box on iPlayer.
This brought up some coverage of these events, which is great. The problem is though, that it doesn't bring up just the coverage of this event. No it brings up about a 3hour long program and doesn't tell you when what you want to see is on!
This is where the waffle aforementioned becomes really annoying, because iPlayer is fast and clunky to fast forward. Making finding what you want a nightmare.
I just want to see people blow clay pigeons into clouds of pink dust!
Rant over.
