There I was, happily watching the French Open Final which was developing into a truly great game of tennis, when Invers made the dread announcement: 'If you want to carry on watching this then switch to ITV4 because now it's time for football.'

Since the full switchover in our area we no longer receive ITV4. Great. Fabulous. Marvellous. Wonderful. I now have that gloomy Midlands twerp Mr A Childs being his usual full-on Eyeore-ish self and a very happy Mr DD as he can watch more men running around and falling over and rowing with the ref. Great, fabulous, marvellous and wonderful it is NOT. :x DD

    It has more than a hint of an operatic effort which I guess reflects the Eyeties perfectly. I went and switched on 5live extra and found . . . . cricket, which wasn't being played as it was too dark. I am still glum. DD

    I've discovered the source of the problem. Down the hill from us there is a substantial rail viaduct and our house is positioned in just the right place so as to miss the signal. The neighbours either side get ITV4, one lower and one higher hill-wise, but us? Nah. Never mind, it matters not, either Djokovich or Nadal will win - howzat for a prediction? :wink: Thank whoever for the Aegon and then Wimbledon. Meanwhile it's Ireland v Croatia - be still my beating heart. DD

    I know, I know, I appreciate 'im indoors very much too but tennis was my game and I still love watching it. No matter, he's now snoozing but is a resting and contented man and that is important. It is drivel, isn't it? DD
