but the reason it took me so long to bother opening my new mp3 player is... I like listening to my radio... AND I really like my little radio because... it gets AM as well as FM (and it's not one of those horrible FM scanning things!)... and I like AM because that means... RadioSport... and it's summer... and that means cricket! And, sometimes (but not lately while NZ's playing), a good match to listen to.
And, sometimes, I even make sure that the station is just slightly off so that you get that static/weird effect - just like listening to the cricket tests from the other side of the world at night (when you should be asleep)...
Ah, the days before 24 hour & pay TV!
In the old days... I used to have a little 'portable' black & white TV I was allowed to have in my room to watch the gymnastics at the 1988 Olympics... for some strange reason, that Olympics it was mainly the men's events I followed... the rings especially... and this guy in particular...
It was always the uneven bars for me. I'm going to reference this amazing routine by Olga Korbut.

mI can really empathise with the deficiencies of our mp3 players - no Radio Sport! And there's test matches on! And there's going to be one against England ... and I'm going to be working ...
ReplyDeleteBut do not despair Mad Hamster - they do have live streaming on their website - just plug in your dicky little headphones and you're set. (Just don't forget that you've got your headphones on when you go geta coffee refill - most unpleasant!)
