What is it me and sport lately.
I've had to record some matches and races. That has meant trying to do a media blackout, as to not know the score/results. Twice this week the gods of "sods law" have screwed me.
First was the 2.am City match. I stayed up for it, but after around 15 mins, i was just too tired. I'd been up at 05.30 that morning and had to do the same again. So i just recorded it before falling asleep.
Jumped in the car at 6am, and before i could mute the radio, the words "City had a great win" and the score. Honestly, it was like in films when somebody turns the TV on during a disaster, and the new reporter is almost cued up to only say the exact bit you need to hear.
Then today, i had a family event, so missed the start of the GP.
I wasn't worried, as i turned off the radio in the car before parking up. So when i set off for home, the radio stayed silent.
Got in, and turned on the TV. I planned to then go in the menu and play the recording. The last channel the TV was on was the Discovery channel. So i knew there would be no way the GP results would be announced.
Somehow, the channel had been turned to SKY Sports F1. So when i turned on the TV, the first picture was the bloody winner rostrum, showing the winners! FFS!
