I can see the fail front page already tomorrow.
Piers Morgan replaces Sterling in England squad, followed by 2 nerds arrested in tent on Weymouth beach trying to fix world cup draw
Piers Morgan is a cunt. How can he hope to take any sort of moral stance on anything after hacking Milly Dowler’s phone?
Maybe Raheem should get a portrait of Levi Bellfield done on his left calf to really fuck the cunt off.

@saintbletch Just put “Engerland” on 31 and “The Winner” on the last one. That way everyone will be happy(ish).
I’ll be the martyr and take the non-Engerland one - taking one for the team so to speak
Wednesday’s challenge is to slip the word parsimoniously in to a conversation at work and then report on here what reaction you get. Supreme word of the day. I doff my hat to you Sir Bletch of this Parish.

Parsimonious? That’s a herb right @saint-cd ?
Just want to make sure I use it in the right context…

Oh dear. I really don’t want to sound condescending (and well done you for even trying to use such a tricky word!), but you’re confusing the herb parsimony with its quality, which is what parsimonious means. So, just to help you out a little next time you’re at a nice dinner party (or you can always pretend you’ve been at such an event when you talk to your friends and colleagues - they won’t know, trust me), if your host serves up a dish which tastes strongly of parsimony, you could say “My! what a parsimonious starter that was!” They’ll be impressed, I can assure you of that.

Absolutely, and talking of feeding, did you like how I left it for our most erudite* poster to explain the correct meaning and context?
* which is neither a type of glue nor some sort of vegetable that you use instead of a spoon to eat dips at posh parties**
** not that any of us get invited to such***

Ok funsters this is the last call for new sign ups.
There’s a few regulars missing from the list. If you spot them and know them, PM them and shame them into helping the kids.
On Thursday (7th) morning I’ll open up a bidding auction for the remaining teams.
If you haven’t paid, please pm the Goat and settle up.
Tigger has bounced over the readies (via bletch who is now owed a favour 
)
I know. Doesn’t bear thinking about.

Please mister, can I play ?. I may not be able to cough up the readies until the end of next week as I am admiring sheep in the Balkans at present.

Surely, but, well, umm, there’s really no easy way to break this to you.
I know.
OK, all those with a team in the World Cup take one pace forwards.
Where’re you going @llwybr-cyhoeddus ? (and @tokyo-saint for that matter).
Isn’t it.
