...I've found a use for the bloody awful World Cup. The roads were empty this morning.

With you on this. If it's the six nations or something, I can get quite excited about it (even been known to go to one of those dubious sports bars to watch), but just never really been arsed with football.

(Also now in flame proof overalls, awaiting the "you're not a real man then jibes")

Never could get into girly games either. I'll be one of the 6 people in the country working early this afternoon.

Gotta say though, I do hope we stick it up the Argies.

football is otherwise know as "kev-ball" for obvious reasons. With apologies to anyone called Kevin who happens to be reading this.

One thing that is apparent as a generalisation and I hate doing it is that followers of motorsport/cars/bikes/whatever normally fail to appreciate the appeal of "team sports" such as football, which to me is spot on I follow with interest the efforts of individuals (all right supported by teams) pushing machines to there limits but just don't get 22 men kicking about a pigs bladder.

The only interest it has for me is the fact that it is our national team and I am proud of my nation, I was even chuffed when a load of Jock girlies got a gold medal for sweeping their brooms across the ice and got GB some recognition.

Hmmmm Chess, Now there a bloody great spectator sport
.. as an ex South African I must admit I cant stand soccer! ... "Duck" Ok, I'm sorry "Football", I prefer Rugby, However looking at the game it must be said that all they did was stretch the bladder and give the players steroids!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - any poncy footballer who collapses on the ground writhing in agony clutching everything from his face to little toe and is then seen running around perfectly happy three minutes later after he's forgotten to fake a limp should be forced to do 20 minutes with the All Blacks just to get an appreciation of real pain......

A footballer must have the only £20k per week job where his boss lets him off work half-way though the standard 'day' bacause his getting tired!

Now I really am f**king losing it. I've just walked down to town in the pi**ing rain to get my f**king hair cut and all the t@ssers in the f**king barber's shop are sitting around watching football on the TV and refusing to do their f**king jobs.

Perhaps they'd like to publish a TV schedule and mark out any programmes they'd particularly like to watch so I know when I can get my f**king hair cut.
