To fast forward the rugby whenever DH leaves the room?

[BuggerLumpsAnnoyed]

I suspect I am. Just arrived home from work. DH is watching a rugby game he recorded. I want to watch eastenders don't judge me

So when DH pops out of the room, I fastforward it a bit. Well a lot.

I know IABU actually and I feel like an evil genius.

But... we have to know the results.

Did you get to watch East Enders in time?

Otherwise you're not truly an evil genius.

YABU for marrying a man who likes sport.

Eastenders? YABU
FF rugby? YABU
Enjoying a smug sense of satisfaction at your husbands expense? YANBU
Lying to him instead of laughing and owning up YABU

Sorry phone died...and i was too busy watching eastenders to charge it...mwah ha ha! I owned up at the end and he laughed.

I do quite like rugby but I'm going to spend all afternoon in the freezing cold actually its quite mild today but that doesn't make my point as well watching him play And it had been a long 14 hours of work entitled much?

And i knew he'd find it funny.

If he doesn't notice, YANBU - he's not actually watching it.

I would notice straight away if someone fast forwarded a sports event I was actually watching - and I'd be bloody cross. I wouldn't do it to them.

I'm going to apply this to the rugby, premier league, bundisliga, serie A, Irish football, American football, hurling (oh yes, DP even watches this), cricket and the darts. I am allowed fifteen minutes of Countryfile a week as my TV entitlement.

It feels almost petty complaining about rugby when there are people out there being forced to watch darts.

I have to watch darts!
At least in rugby the men are lush!! drool

serves him right for leaving the room...it must not be that riveting :o

and if you want mean, after three night of dh monopolising the tv with his fucking YoungOnes boxed set, putting on the dvd and promptly falling asleep I said if he did it one more time I would throw the set away
Surprisingly he managed to watch 3 whole episodes, AND next morning commented how well he had slept that night
maybe missing the extended early evening nanna nap helped

You're an evil genius OP

Depends on whether it was league or Union.

League - go right ahead.

Union the very thought of it.

YANBU. A useful and crafty tactic.

YABVU! The only person complaining about rugby on telly in our house is 4 years old and has no vote on what we watch. Hunky rippling muscles or soap opera drivel, I know what I'd prefer. Very clever idea though lol

So long as you don't miss any of the points being scored who cares? All you are really doing is editing your own version of Match of the Day but for rugby.

I wish my DH would be so accommodating as to record matches. Sadly he is so worried that somebody will tell him the score and spoil it (thank you DS1) that if he can't watch live he very rarely bothers recording so I don't have the FF option.
