I am currently watching the World Cup on BBC. It looks normal. Can you explain what that is about so I can enjoy being outraged?

The main studio is in Salford with a fake background.
The BBC should be spending our money on a studio in USA. Obvs.

Makes much more sense to have a studio in New Jersey. Like ITV. That way the pundits are closer to games in Mexico City and Vancouver.

I’m outraged that they are not wasting my fees as they did in the good old days.

They're not wasting my money either.

What will you find if you scroll down beyond these delicious recipes on the BBC News webpage?
Oh, a white man goes on rampage injuring Muslims. Pfft.

I suspect that the usual outrage will be rather quiet on this one.

At least it's now been deemed more important than delicious summer recipes. Maybe it'll get Farage's attention now.

Some of those recipes look suspiciously foreign to me. Is Chris Mason doing a 10 minute opening segment on them? This will be followed by 30 seconds on the knife wielding white man sandwiched in between the sport and weather.

Why do you think that might be?😉

When does Wimbledon start so I can be outraged at the number of ex players with their noses in the BBC trough? Then there’s the page long list of payrolled pundits.
It’s really quite ridiculous. Zulu had fewer extras.

There are 18 courts, all with consecutive games. I don’t know how many have permanent TV coverage but I bet most do via red button. so you’re going to need plenty of camera men and commentators.
I hate tennis, it’s really boring. It’s one of the only sports I really don’t enjoy. But will watch if a Brit is doing well.

Its a jolly spiffing day out quaffing champagne with strawberries and cream whilst watching the chaps and ladies have a knock about on Centre court
I'm not into tennis, but have been lucky enough to get Centre Court tickets for next week again

If you leave early, remember to "drop" your tickets so one of the students litter-picking can pop in for a watch ;-)
It was considered a top perk when I was at Uni - you did the litter picking job and checked for useful court tickets :-)
