Where’s the fucking live feed? Clearly a fix. I wouldn’t be surprised if the money for the kiddies goes missing as well. It’s like Arthur and the Christmas club money all over again.

Yeah, 'cause I was desperate to get Morocco.

Could be worse, you could have bought two tickets to the ball, kissed a frog and got Suadi Arabia and South Korea (ranked 31st and 29th out of 32 teams).

That’s gotta hurt.

The comment in the office was that one of my golf stories was more entertaining than the jokes on that live feed.

Uruguay are in the World Cup?

Didn’t I say at the start that I could buy 31 of the 32 teams and still not win?

I got Costa Rica in the work one…

Mexico, could be worse. They make tasty food. Would have preferred Croatia so it fits in with my work sweepsteak (and I only have to remember one team)!!

Thanks for the offer but I already have enough internal conflict in my life, don’t want to spark a boarder dispute to top it off! I’ll stick with the Burrito Boys!

Nope, I sat in a tent in Weymouth on a wet Thursday afternoon writing the code for sweepstake draw and Googling those jokes.

You’re all going to watch it for 24 hours\* before I put up the whole list.

Fuck you and fuck you all.

\*Well, maybe at least 2-4 hours.
