And we don't like NFL here anyway.
We could take up the MLB All Star Game though.

I'm sure that's what was said to Churchill after the treaty of Munich.

I'ma bit curious here, why do you keep calling it football?
It doesn't have anything to do with neither foot nor ball.
|
|
|
|
|
Because "soccer" was taken.

Well, I think it will be way too many countries, so I came up with a list of alternative approaches.
- Convince FIFA to change the name of the tournament to "The World Mug".
- Convince FIFA to hold the tournament every 20 years.
- Convince the UN to merge all countries into a single union. No countries, no World Cup.
- Buy up all soccer balls in the world and destroy them.
- Embark on a world tour to tell every soccer fan in the world, that watching soccer causes ED.
- Engineer an insect that can kill off all grass in the world.
- Commence "Operation Legstrong" to ruin the sport from the inside by replacing the 10-15 most popular players in the world by robots and reveal the scandal in 3 years.
- Build a time machine. Go back in time and start cracking skulls. Ebenezer Cobb Morley[^], England, 1863 should be your first target.

These two might work. You can convince FIFA to do anything with a few backhanders (Qatar anyone?)

Speak to the EU, this sounds like their plan.

Might be counter productive. All the ball manfacturers will be raking it in and will make even more balls!!!
Quote: - Buy up all soccer balls in the world and destroy them.
Everybody loves a good scandal. Moaning about what was wrong and how things should be is a key part of the fun!!!

Hi All,
First one in this am, to start to check around for anything of mine (I started the grand carry on Friday!), got most of it, just some 'Heavy' MS books left for tonight. I pulled a shoulder, but... I also have appeared busy so as not to draw attention to myself(!).
Company director has a days Holiday which probably explains why the talk is not today(!). Ah well worst things happen at sea I suppose!.

Are you really positive it's going to happen or is this just something you fear?
|

Well from the conversation last week with the MD, I think it is... 
|
|
|
|
|
Just had the meeting, I'm out the door!! Byeee!
|
|
|
|
|
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope they are giving you favourable terms.
|
|
|
|
|
Good luck in your search, hope you find something quick and suits your talents.
It was broke, so I fixed it.
|
|

So, the bell finally tolled for you.
No bugger off and don't come back!

Sorry to hear that - and good luck in the job search!
Sounds like we will be hearing more from you now, then?

I hate football, but I am glad the Germans won, they deserved it.

Did Mueller pull through?
The way he was acting in the first half it looked like he was going to be paralysed for life.
|
|
|
|
|
Schweinsteiger worse than Mueller. He deserved an Academy Award, especially in extra time.
What we got here is a failure to communicate
|
|
|
|
|
Especially for the ketchup he used to imitate the bleeding that "needed" to be stitched.
I won’t not use no double negatives.
