I am not a football fan, but the present Mrs Hughes is a fanatic and will be glued to it. My pleas for a bigger TV when we moved house were ignored until the last World Cup when a couple of new flatscreens made their way into our lounge and bedroom!
However, she loves it, and I also have other things to do, so no problem at all - plus we are away for ten days at the end of the month, so I am busy working, and she is welcome to watch footie if she can find it in Montreal.
