K is a real rev head when it comes to Bathurst and always watches it.<br />I have now seen more of those stupid women drivers and if they drove in traffic like that they would surely cause a serious accident.<br />I am now wondering how much perfectly good foods we actually see advertised these days.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-87423254553506857552015-10-20T18:32:32.088+08:002015-10-20T18:32:32.088+08:00Thank you Denise for your kind comments.
I do enjo...Thank you Denise for your kind comments.<br />I do enjoy watching AFL (Aussie Rules) games when our two West Aussie teams play, occasionally tennis and even less often golf.<br />We are not fans of either the Olympic or Empire games.<br />We did finally watch Le Tour de France this year and found ourselves thoroughly enjoying it and of course the chap representing England won.<br />Phil enjoyed it as he had visited many of the places in France when he was a young man.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-87125638778377079212015-10-20T18:30:03.569+08:002015-10-20T18:30:03.569+08:00I need to keep this old brain working as long as I...I need to keep this old brain working as long as I can so thinking is the order of the day.<br />Some commercials on TV these days are absolutely ridiculous. I am sure they running out of ideas although they are now re-using some from years ago (to save money I suppose).Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-53803248411476587612015-10-20T18:28:56.687+08:002015-10-20T18:28:56.687+08:00I too mute ad breaks and fortunately there is not ...I too mute ad breaks and fortunately there is not much on commercial TV that we watch although one of the digital channels is repeating some excellent British shows which we watch as they are so well done. That is where we are bombarded with commercials. We have now purchased complete sets of several of these shows which will of course be commercial-less when we view them.<br />I have a Welsh Facebook friend who follows rugby union who admits she still doesn't understand all the rules.<br />Some thoughts are perhaps best kept to myself Yam. xxMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-55756477543449993602015-10-20T18:25:57.216+08:002015-10-20T18:25:57.216+08:00We too watch a number of DVDs (some for the second...We too watch a number of DVDs (some for the second or third time if they are good i.e. West Wing or Foyle's War). We do though watch a couple of quiz programmes (to keep our old brains busy) and that is often where the commercials appear.<br />The apple ad was some months/years ago but really annoyed me. We began our babies with a piece of apple wrapped in muslin and then I think grated apple.<br />Phil has an apple every day of which I am often given a slice.

Haven't seen the apple to the floor one. Sigh.

Like you I enjoy some advertising and then others send out the totally wrong message to our young. I find those totally irresponsible. Not a sports fan, I am afraid if there is a ball involved my eyes glaze over, though I do enjoy watching a little golf.

Can't stand soccer, can tolerate AFL and don't mind League. American 'football'??? Precious little flowers... ;~) <br /><br />Keep thinking Mimsie, and keep sharing those thoughts!

I haven't seen the one where the child throws an apple on the floor, but you reminded me that all of my children loved apples, the oldest enjoyed chewing on them even before she had teeth! I'd hand her one as we went for walks, she'd sit in the pram happily gnawing and I'd watch the faces of people passing us by.
