World Cup 2018

Wow.

You won't find me moaning about the choice of location for Wednesday, I've just paid for a £60 bar tab up front, but we've got a reserved table. Space, somewhere to plonk my behind and no riff raff throwing lager over me.

Should be a cracker.

I almost went to Ikea Wednesbury (registered trademark. 1993) today. I'm glad I didn't. Apparently it was totally empty, sure... but the staff were wandering around looking for the queen bee generally heading in the wrong direction.

I have never yet been to an Ikea . . . . the girls at work think I'm barking, they're probably correct.

But from what they've told me about our local(ish) branch, it sounds like my idea of shopping hell on earth! The thought of spending my precious time off drifting aimlessly around any shop, gives me the heebie jeebies. God gave me fingers, man gave me the internet . . . . that's all my shopping requirements sorted. Simples.

Anyhow, back to the plot . . . . I reckon Russia v Croatia could go to extra time/penalties unless something spectacular happens.

Come on Russia...

[marksixysix]

Russia 4-3

[striker42]

1 Euro a pint when the football is on. Don't mind if I do

[marksixysix]

What a save! 1 Euro a pint

[marksixysix]

And that is why I dont gamble

[jtc]

Bye Bye Russia
Bring it on Croatia 😂🇫🇴🇫🇴🇫🇴

You are wise not to go.

1. Enter store.
2. Follow fool's maze of endless wandering around for 43-126 minutes depending if you can run successfully around beds, chairs and plastic TVs.
3. Enter new area of unknown household items which look useful but have Swedish names so you never know for sure what you are buying... although it's hard to go wrong with a knife or colander.
4. After a half day of no water and total loss of will to live, arrive at checkout area with a whole trolley full of stuff you didn't go for. This will always include at least 2 cuddly toys and a five-pack of scissors.
5. Fall over on presentation of the total bill....

Last time I went. I put 24 items in my bag. I left 19 at the checkout....

..make them re-shelf all that supposedly 'Swedish' Chinese landfill. Good employment for local peeps. Ikea re-stocking operative.

Managed to watch ten minutes of the game in the cab today when I had a chance to catch up on my paperwork
And the last ten minutes when I went to lunch

I'd personally be choosing the Estrella

Then again I am not sure about Galicia Cerveceros.. always drank the 'Damm' Red stuff on tap.
