Who amongst us hasn't opened a few tinnies and sat down to watch Gary Kasparov spend 10 minutes thinking before he moves a knight one square (I don't even know if that's an actual chess move)?

I don't enjoy any / never watched them.
But I've always found golf the most boring . But if it was a physical game of miniature golf then that's ok.

I enjoyed watching Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse's Gone Fishing.

Final day of the Ryder Cup is also a decent watch. Especially if you've got a bet on.

Cricket is boring and Chess is too slow. Maybe it's fun in fast forward motion?

Most non-competitive reality shows.

Temptation Island, Paradise Hotel (competitive, but very boring), TOWIE type programs etc.

I was brought up in a sport mad family. Football, cricket, golf, tennis, american football, you name it we had to watch it, play it or be bored I went to watch a Hundred cricket game at old trafford on saturday....it was the best cricket I've watched.....after being dragged to club games and test matches, the 100 was a welcome change. My partner fishes.....omg its boring to watch.....but very good for stress levels apparently. Golf has always bored me......watching it on tv is liking watching miles of sky.

My son has just got into chess....he's such a geek. I lose on purpose (honest) as its soooo slow

100% agreed.

There's nothing more lazy than who's in love with who tropes imo.

At least Sports give you an actual competition.
