Allotments 4 All

Have loved seeing the joy this is bringing to Africa on the news, but re the football, can only say I am not 'bored' with it, just totally ignoring it! LOL

Hubby meanwhile is a tennis fanatic...ho hum....

Yes bored and bracing for the rounds of drunken voilence that follow every big game on our estate. next door neighbour beats his girlfreind if his team looses after having a skinful.

Looking forward to a short run of losses before we are out rather than a long drawn out misery for all of us.

Go on south Africa!

Phone the police....

I hate football with a passion, and will not watch any of the games, but really proud of South Africa pulling it off with the Opening ceremony and showing the world they are a Rainbow nation!!
Proud to be South African at the moment!!!

BAFANA BAFANA!!!!
;D ;D ;D

My sister in law is South African so can just imagine two lots of cheers going on in their household.

That's lovely Mortality, hope you have lots of fun with your young man.

The Government, concerned that men's willies are getting smaller have tasked the NHS to investigate how big the problem is -- to get some idea they have asked all men who's willies are smaller than 3" to put a white flag with a red cross, on their car !!!

What does 2 signify then?


I think NZ may beat the Italians by scaring them with a Haka then confusing them by picking up the ball and running with it...that would be our only chance of scoring!

Just got home to find a house further down the road are having a football party outdoors with a band.  They've just slipped into Kareoke now.  I have never hated Thin Lizzy sooooo much.  It is so loud and no way to escape it & I was looking forward to a quiet afternoon in the garden with a book and the wildlife.  I can ony hope that the band are booked for a couple of hours and will then pack up.

I forgot to answer the question.....YES!

well  yes i'm bored stupid by the football, but I was half way there before it started  :D

I'm very bored with it but then I am Scottish.

yes i am and if those kids dont stop blowing the trumpets im gonna kill them

.......... and the comments ::) ::) ::). From OH BTW.

Why do you think I'm on here? ;D

1 goal    ;D    £10  refund   yipeeee 

It's not so much the football as all the in-your-face, over-the-top hype.   Plus the endless build-up to the kick-off and then the after-match analysis etc, etc.   I can't even do my shopping without having it shoved in my face. 

People like football.  Ok, I get it.   But I don't.   So please just leave me alone and stop trying to convert me.

As I mentioned in another thread. I'm so pleased that my Tony aint into footie. He does however love fi motor racing

Drove passed a local pub yesterday on my back from the plot and  all the red n white brigade are there sipping out (why not a glass??) bottles and chanting "where's ya flag ya wa**er"to all the car not sporting a flag that passed,thats good  reason as any not to like football if you ask me...the fans.

A house on our road has been covered in white and red crosses. For the sake of balance, I draped a stars and stripes outside last night and have just ordered a Slovenian and an Algerian flag.

Bonk-bonk fortnight? I should be so lucky!

Sorry InfraDig, but the expression goes back many many years, before the word bonk took on its current meaning.  Way back in the 50s/60s Giles always referred to Wimbledon as being bonk-bonk fortnight. ;D ;D

I agree that some of the fans leave much to be desired.However many fans do not act that way and just love the game.

Long time ago I used to live opposite Edgbaston cricket ground and there was never any trouble.Think a s far as fans go cricket has the best ones.

Keep flying the flags for England,we may go further than you think  :)
