I think Gordon Ramsey is only showing us where our meat comes from, shocking as it may seem,meat is not grown in plastic cartons;-))
I hate to see it,it upsets me but I have to say its proably turned a lot of people off meat,so hes done a service In my opinion.
I surpose Im one of those that likes to bury my head In the sand too when It comes to meat, But its a fact of life,animals are Slaughtered for our food.
I dont eat red meat but I do eat Chicken and Fish,so Im just as Bad:-(((

Oh yes Secret, a Dr. Who channel would be favourite....

..anyone noticed that Sky swap their programmes and their titles around, so you expect to see something new, only its not......it has just been re-vamped, or has a different title......its a swizz.....

Pauline, we played cricket too, and football, and tennis......well, bat and ball really....

I think it's not the programmes themselves that upset me.....it's the lack of variety .

Sometimes there just seems to be soaps on TV
sometimes it just seems to be reality TV on TV
sometimes it just seems to be sport on TV

However, if they had more episodes of Doctor Who.....I probably wouldn't complain lol

Yeah - I suppose cricket is slightly more interesting
than watching Big Bogan!

Eldrick.....as a child I was taken to watch local cricket matches......the Oval was only down the road.....

My Dad loved all sport......and when he stayed he wanted to watch cricket, which meant that in order to spend time in his company, I had to learn the rules and watch the game and discuss what was going on........I did in the end find it interesting to a point......but now......no, along with snooker, tennis, contract bridge.......it is not my cup of tea....

I would never dream of decrying those who love something that does not interest me......it would not do for us all to be the same......

lol - there we go! Our national sport (yes, it still is cricket, not football!)

Is there no patriotism here!

Give me an empty cricket ground on a wet day with no play rather than Ant and Dec in the jungle with a collection of has been celebrities or big brother failures!

lol

Am i right in thinking that Simon Cowell is the man who 'owns' Big Brother' and the 'get me out of here' programmes...?

As well as the X factor and stuff like that?

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (sp?) did it recently with chickens.......felt the need to show us all how chickens are kept and abused........he was crying......the sales of free range chickens and eggs went up after his programme though....

They also have one showing an allotment in London...I think.....with people growing things, but have added a pig and cow for them to take care of.....children as well......they are treating them like pets.......I hate to think what happens when the animals go to slaughter......how will they feel then....

I like meat, but after programmes like these it does turn me off......

Absolutely Eldrick. It would be a funny old world if every one liked the same thing.
I use that self same *off* button for the cricket........watching that makes my face hurt but there you go........each to their own lololol xx

Eldrick Report 16 Jul 2008 10:08

LIkewise with reality TV shows - I wont suffer them to be on the telly - I use the off button or change channels!

But I would defend a persons right to watch them - although I also dont see why on earth they should be shown when they are taking up airspace when something interesting, like cricket, could be getting shown.
