I'm not a football fan. In fact I can't stand it. "The muddied oafs at the
goal" etc.

The frenzy to sell anything world cup related is simply bizarre.

Yesterday in Morrisons I saw 'world cup pizza'. A 14" pizza with pepperoni
arranged in a St George Cross!

This morning in B&Q was the ultimate - world cup garden gnomes! Plastic
gnomes wearing Ingerland football kit. The mind boggles.

This afternoon I had the headphones on in the office to shut out the
occasional cheers (some people seem to have less work to do than I) when
the DJ said that he wished Wales good luck in the soccerball.

A man after my own heart!

There was a survey done at a university about men's penis size and the
researchers came up with the conclusion that there were only two sizes.

The first group had a normal erect penis length and the rest had a
length of less that 2 inches erect.

To conclude the research the university asked those with a penis of less
than 2 inches, to fit their car with a white flag, with a red cross on
it to find out how many men had such a small penis.

Judging by the number of Daily Tabloid looking "Dolly Birds" I've seen
driving mating flags this week, they might be on to something.

It's already mucked me about, this stupid facination watching hyper funded
imbeciles pushing inflated windbags about the field. Not satisfied with
pushing more interesting things off the TV, news on Tinternet is all about
that Bl%%dy "game".

Just hope the weather improves and that I can enjoy the outdoors for its
duration!

A good wheeze - they can charge more for a pizza with less pepperoni
on it.

But "Retail giant Asda, which has stores in Chesser, the Jewel and
Leith, today confirmed customers will be unable to buy St George's
flags or other products linked to the Auld Enemy's bid in South Africa
for "commercial and diplomatic" reasons."

Sod the bloody Scots, the miserable so-and-sos. Time to cut them lose
and give them their independence.

And let no English man or woman applaud Andy Murray at Wimbledon.

Up the Union! ;-)

Is there a football match on somewhere?
I'm an avid fan, can't get enough of it, I went to watch the baggies when I
was 12 and the most recent match i watched was in 1966.

The Chinese manufacturers and shippers of tatty worthless goods will be
laughing all the way to the bank (whilst questioning our sanity as a once

It's not just cheap tat either. How about a £1.179 World Cup fridge?

A pity. As 4 weeks of pure heaven have just started IMHO.

You should have done a special on wireless doorbells with a St Georges Cross
on them:-)

And if you really hate football that much you could move to Scotland.
