It's amazing ...
... how often I find myself watching 'See Hear' on BBC2 of a Saturday morning. I usually sit with the Mrs and point fun at the uselessness of everything about it.

A few weeks ago we watched the UK Women's deaf football team competing in the Deaf World Cup. I think it was in Tokyo. They were absolute bloody rubbish. Especially the goalkeeper.

Anyway, as the craply put together news item dragged on, the viewer was told that one of girls' father and brother had travelled all the way from London to see her play, but without her knowing. They thought that their presence might make her nervous.

In the end, the UK team won the third place play off in a close fought contest. The girls were jubilant and very emotional, but when that girl saw her father and brother were in the crowd, it all became a bit too much for her.

And it became too much for me as well. I couldn't stop sobbing in hapiness for them. And as I realised I was crying over See Hear for god's sake, it seemed to get worse.

Maybe that was a bit of a dull you-had-to-be-there kind of story. Anyway it was also the second best wank I've ever had to daytime TV.
