Missing

It's inevitable that you are going to miss certain things when you move away from your country of birth. Just recently I found myself missing British tv channels, even though we don't really watch a lot of tv. That is, I suppose, a bit ungrateful of me. BBC 1 & 2 are available here and in some parts of Belgium you can pick up ITV Meridian. Last week, I found a streaming video site which shows ITV, in near perfect clarity. I was chuffed to bits! Now I can watch England matches and listen to annoying English commentators, rather than annoying Belgian commentators! I Googled the Radio times, which is a tv listing magazine in the UK, and searched the following weeks ITV programmes for something good to watch. And was reminded by the crap lined up of why we don't watch a lot of tv! Suffice to say, I haven't watched anything since seeing England thrash mighty Andorra in a World Cup qualifier.
There are plenty of streaming sites to be found online. The majority of them are rubbish. Some of them though, are excellent. Over the past few weeks, I have been watching the World Twenty 20 Cricket competition, thanks to some enterprising Indian people. It's the first cricket I've been able to watch since leaving England and I was like a pig in s**t! Imagine my surprise this week when I found out that Eurosport were covering it live! Cricket on tv? In Belgium? Surely some mistake! Anyone from Belgium curious about the game, can watch the final on Sunday if they have Eurosport. It will take 2 hours 30 minutes of your time, and who knows, you may like it!
Unfortunately, streaming Indian restaurants is a little more trickier and I will have to go on missing certain aspects of English life!
