It's already for almost 15 years now that we no longer have a TV. Partly due the increasing amount of ADs and the decreasing general quality.fresh_42 said:
Weird. That's when I gave up TV. Being single, it's just as easy to watch programs on my laptop. One of my lady friends used to own a spare house at the coast and a bunch of us would spend a week there every year. On one occasion I got the deluxe room with a tv and cable. 500 channels, and nothing worth watching. I do still have a TV, but haven't turned it on in probably a decade. It's one of those old fashioned tube types.Rive said:It's already for almost 15 years now that we no longer have a TV. Partly due the increasing amount of ADs and the decreasing general quality.
Every time we stay in a hotel and switch on the one for the room we conclude that we were sooo right to give it up
There was too, this weird situation that you have some 500 channels and a TV guide. You start browsing through the guide, and by the time you find something you like, you're a good 10-15 minutes into the hour , and so any show is ruined for you until the end of the hour.OmCheeto said:

I have made a bet with my dad regarding the match result (we have made some bets during the championship just for fun).

Yes ; Ive heard of shamans saying it should be practiced with care. Albeit Peyote for the coyote may work.fresh_42 said:
Spain were better and deserved the win. No doubt about that.fresh_42 said:
Yes, but England played very well, and they were very close to an equalizer at the end.pinball1970 said:
I found it closer. My observation was that England had technical deficits in one-contact football. I saw a couple of chances where they failed because they had chosen to take another pass or tried to put the ball into a better position instead of shooting directly. Playing like Spain against Spain wasn't the best idea. They might have had a better chance if they had played the good old English style.pinball1970 said:
