Micks' Musings

England against India is on Foxtel tonight and it started being shown at about 10.45pm. However the match started several hours earlier. This is one of the things that annoys me about live sport. Why delay the telecast when what was on was prerecorded and old sports shows? And if they must delay the telecast then why not just show a quick highlights package of about five minutes and then go to live coverage? I would rather get to watch two or three hours of live coverage than the full match if it is delayed. Live sport is what I want!

We have all finished the Deathly Hallows. When will we ever see anything like Harry Potter again? Will people ever queue up again for a book like they did for the final Harry Potter book several saturdays ago? I am reading the Philosophers Stone with Christopher. It really is a magical (pun intended) book. We are all better off that it was published and we got to travel with Harry and his friends on their journey. It made children read, what can be more magical than that?
