  1. I didn't even realise that the opening ceremony wasn't shown. That tells you how much I care about it.
  2. The reality is that probably every country on the planet has some law that would prevent them hosting the World Cup. It's dodgy that FIFA force the hosts to cave to their often ridiculous demands in the pursuit of maxing the money FIFA make rather then accepting choosing a certain host might mean they have to adapt to local laws/customs. In this case Qatar should have never come close to being allowed to bid let alone accepted as hosts for a multitude of reasons beyond the fact alcohol is banned in the country.
  3. Any decent organisation would just say **** off and cancel the whole thing and sue the crap out of Qatar. It's not going to happen but one can dream. More seriously it's always been extremely dodgy that FIFA force countries to change their laws to host the World Cup. Qatar should never have been chosen as hosts but having been chosen they shouldn't have to be forced to allow alcohol sales because it's hurts FIFA sponsors.
  4. At least according to my EPG it's only on BBC One and ITV now. The other BBC channels and Channel 4 and 5 are 'normal' programming again. I've been watching Freeview channels since Thursday that continued on just as normal, maybe they cut adverts but I zone out when they are on so haven't noticed a difference. Though I don't normally watch TV on Saturday mornings and I'm only up right now as the builder is round trying to fix the final (fingers crossed) leak in the roof.
  5. I haven't really watched any of the coverage since the announcement yesterday, but I did watch some of Charles' address (missed the start). I think he came across really well and it was a very good and moving speech. I've never really been a fan of him but if he carries on like that he'll be a decent king.
