England, of course!!
Actually, I get bored if I'm not really there (and sometimes even then!) so I prefer the highlights, and have to turn the sound off cos it drives me mad!
And when do I ever have 90 minutes free to sit downin frint of the telly?!

It's been pretty dull so far IMHO Best team I've watched so far has been Germany. I listen on 5 Live if I'm driving.

World Cup???  What World Cup?????  Is there a World Cup on?? 

World Cup for what?  Pig catching?  Hen watching?  Sheep shearing?

I think I've forgotten how to turn the TV on.....Fantastic  :) :) :) :) :)



P.S.....It's OK I haven't gone completely mad, I know it's something to do with Football. :farmer: :farmer: :farmer:

Well wrongly again no doubt I look at it like this.I pay £145.00p To watch TV This money allegedly.Oh I do love that word goes to the BBC It is time the BBC is disbanded and they are forced to earn the money they waste.Look at the money that has been spent on DAB.It is like the Post Office One cannot even post 3 first class post letters for a £1 now.They did advertise we handle 6000000 packets a day Now one does not need to be a Mathematician to work out the input even at letter rate I sent a packet (1KG) normal post and it was in excess of £4.00p.Where do they spend all this money?For such a poor service.Yes you are Langdon but I object to it being rammed down my throat ??? :farmer:

I dont really care about the football one way or the other - I do find it staggering that the whole country grinds to a halt, sick leave soars through the roof etc. My OH works in construction and his bosses have shut the company tomorrow for the match so they dont have problems on sites with sick leave etc - how much is that costing? Since they know this is going to cause loss of work, drunkeness etc, I just dont get why they dont put the matches on after normal working hours - 2.30 in the afternoon tomorrow, daft innit  ::)   ???


Still, saying that, I did have a flag on my car for 3 days  :-[  My four year old daughter was fascinated with all the 'flag cars' and wanted one too - prompted various discussions about England, countries, the world and the queen, but funnily enough we didnt touch on football.  ;D

I think the service from the BBC is excellent and excellent value for money. You get an awful lot for £3 a week. Their World Cup coverage is infinitely better than ITV (Have I ever told you I went o the same school as Alan Hansen and he got the scar on his forehead falling through a door at school). They do great drama, wildlife and the News is still pretty good - in delivery if not content.

My postie's a gem, too.

But then, I like to look on the bright side  :)

On topic, the World Cup's geting better. The big boys are getting going now. Hope England get off the blocks tomorrow too.

  No, you defend what you think needs defending - and rightly so.

Personally I don't care whether the whole of TV shows football - I don't watch TV now I've discovered TAS!!! ;) ;D  And to be honest an awful lot of people who post on here seem to be doing the same. ;D ;D ;D

In the past, I wouldn't have missed a match. I loved football. Recently tho' can't get into it. I have watched both England matches but felt like punching the tv during the last one :o :o

I've been more interested in building my chicken run to be honest  :)

Well, having said I am not interested . . . I am having a footy party this arvo in the garden. Since its so sunny we were having an afternoon BBQ for my mates and all the kiddies, but are going to plonk the TV outside too for those that want to watch the match. I reckon it's a good excuse to sit in the sun, in the paddling pool, beer in hand . . .  ;D

Sounds like a fab afternoon Egbert me I had to work... Still not fussed on match but would have liked to be in the garden beer in hand. Mind I managed a cheeky vat when doing the watering this evening :-)

Well I had a lovely afternoon, OH got home early, BIL came over, my mate and her new man were here, 2 kids in the pool and one baby crawling about, football, wine and a BBQ. Lovely.  ;D

Oh, and we won the football so thats good I suppose  :D  ;)
Title: Re: world cup
Post by: langdon on June 23, 2010, 10:40:41 pm
even though england have won and thats good,
i dont think we have seen the best of them yet.
what i mean is they havent been really tested yet, a quality side will allways look good against a poor side and thats how it has been so far with england.
i have to say the other top countrys(no names mentioned) are playing far better football.
sunday will tell how good england are and how much they want to lift the cup.
even though im irish i want to see them win cos i follow liverpool and the are an english side. ;D

I would suggest that you get an extra special present or outing for allowing that one H.  ;)

And not to add to the insult, but where is the Derby show on, cos I might just have to pop along for a nose myself  :)
