The world Cup. Is actually good. It makes doing other stuff easier. I'm glad people like football because of this.
For example, my gym class this week was dead (I assume because of football) which was great!
What I didn't like was a work social even on Tuesday was rescheduled on Friday for Wednesday vecause of football. And thus a 50pc drop in turn out. Would have been better to put a big screen up than move it last minute. Even the live music didn't happen as they could not reschedule at such short notice. Was a big disappointment.

Try that post again, except this time using all the keys on your keyboard, and in the correct order.
For some reason this forum plays havoc with my SwiftKey keyboard. Especially when a word contains an apostrophe
Cracked me up.
Use swiftkey beta or turn off the rich text editor on the forum
I’m not super interested in any sport, although I keep a desultory eye on West Ham’s results, as the family of one of my first girlfriends were raving Hammers, and it kind of stuck.
I’ll watch France if they’re playing, but not at rugby, I have as much idea of rugby as I do quantum physics, but when I was driving a Black Cab, I loved it if England were playing.
It was like shooting fish in a barrel, I could take my pick of fares, there were only a handful of drivers working.
I could get an average 8 hour day’s money in 3 or 4 hours.
One day, I picked up a job in Holborn, going to Fenchurch St. station, and decided that that was it, finish.
As I pulled into the station, the queue of potential fares was 50-75 metres long, and their faces lit up as they saw me pull in.
I dropped the job, got paid, then extinguished the TAXI light, got out, faced the queue and said, “I’m finished, I’m going home, I live in Rotherhithe, if anyone’s going that way, they can have a freebie, on me.”
Two young women, halfway down the queue, said tentatively, “St. James Rd. Bermondsey?”
“We have a winner”, I said, they were happy, I was happy, a win-win.

I never work Sundays but I'll watch the final regardless of who's playing. I only ever watch football during the Euro's and World Cup and try to watch as many matches as I can. Outside of that; I don't watch or support club football.

Don't be ridiculous.
I got Sweden and France in the sweepstake at work - so there's 50 quid up for grabs - it's just business.

I ******** love watching proper sport (mountain biking, snowboadring, various forms of motorsport, RLCS, athletics) - just not football.

Ah that old chestnut “proper sport”
Caporegime
Could you explain what makes a proper sport please?

How can football not be a proper sport yet Rocket League is? You're just trolling at this point.
