    Rude words??? Can't watch that, even with sound off - it contains Gordon DH&%! Ramsey!!!! Eeeeuuuuwwww! Surely a banning offence! Ref.... REF....Where's "delete?" I'll have to wash my monitor now. Quick, get some fuhhballin' on. Oh, I think diamorphine can affect memory and I'm due some soon. Aahhhhhhhh Thank Heavens.

    Pheeeeewwww.

    "Hmmm, well?", he says, trying to see some positive in everything and everyone, "'spose he could make a good organ donor".

    Thanks, Mrs. BrensBenz, you're a star. I'll just flick through the channels........maybe Jessica is on and ..............oh noooooooo.........it's that cooking mockney cockney obnox prat with a tongue like a gammon steak. Whyyyyyyyyy didn't I just stay in bed??? Nurse.......!

    relax Brens it is all a figment of your imagination, he is not real. He can't be. They would not let him breed if he was and he has childers. No no no not for the pot. Not even for soup. Just victims to try out his recipe for hare and chocolate. He likes his football too ..... but knows nothing about it.

    3rd place play off today.

    anyone got any thoughts?

    12th July,
    Orange Sash's on the News,
    people marching in the North,
    bonfires last night............

    They are all supporting William of Orange,
    so it has to be The Netherlands, or Holland.

    Sorry, can't watch! Travelling to the Wee North to hear a few familiar choons and to get offended by an Orange march. Then on to "the Field" later to get more offended. Looking forward to it all year.

    Gawd, this Gehhhh gansie is fierce sweaty!

    Well, I've donned me sash in honour of the play off tonight. I'll be in the dressing room this evening with the lads (:o:o) trying to whip them (:)) into action (;)). Sad thing is, their heart ain't in it for tonight's match as they really wanted to bring home something big and goldy orange, but that's not going to happen now. (Bring in on, again! Oh, ho hum!)

    I'll back Germany for the final but the match will be earlier so the heat might be a drawback. Go on lads!

    It is alright for you, my first, second and third choices were all soundly beaten long since, (My first choice never even got to the finals this time)

    I am not sure how it will go, but I did predict an Argentina win before the finals ever started. Sort of wish I had had a bet on it now. I don't want them to win though, I don't want the Germans to win either.

    OH woe is me, these awful choices one simply HAS to make over tea and cucumber sandwiches. I am tempted to pull up the drawbridge to Rube Castle and lock myself away from these terrible choices I am left with.

    Now Silver top or Gold top for my tea? (Or perhaps lemon?)

    Oh never mind, pass the bottle of PIMMS

    Congratulations Redhare. Great match (and you even predicted the score!!!).

    Martinn thank you so much for organising this, it was great fun and for somebody who has no interest in football you turned this World Cup into something I really enjoyed.

    A good game, and I stuck with it until the full time whistle. My nerves wouldn't let me watch any more and I had to leave the room. I told yiz I can't handle the pressure. Himself has just announced Germany won 1-0. Woo-hoo, my team won! Congratulations Red!

    Indeed, Martinn thanks for getting this off the ground. Don't even think of doing anything like this again for at least four years! When is the women's World Cup though?

    Is it over yet?

    I've just seen that the Deutscher team were uber alles after all. Deloyrah for my many former and wonderful colleagues in Germany.

    "Well deserved, lads, enjoy the glow of being the best of the best, Now, get back to work! I have a dozen "Apres Match" to watch.
