Rob1981 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 So it's finally here \o/ Woke up at 5.30am and couldn't get back to sleep In a few minutes I am setting off on a road trip to King's Lynn to Beers of Europe: http://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/acatalog/ Will be getting beers from as many of the 32 countries as possible. Should take just over two hours each way, then will be safely back in London by the first game at 3pm. Any other weird rituals out there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I have to work until 16:00, so I'll be home in time to see the second half of the first match, if I'm lucky. Great start Work should be suspended with double pay for the duration of the WC imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roseboy64 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Will be either having a nap before the match or waking up after going to bed soon. 'Tis at 9 am so no bar or anything like that on a Friday. Then watching the next one and playing some footy after where obviously the matches will be discussed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDiCanio Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I've got an exam at 9 until 10:30, after that I'll nip to tesco and stock up on beers for tomorrow if they've got any left Then I'm heading to a mates house for game 1, and to another's for game 2. Nothing out of the ordinary, I guess most people's plans will be similar really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudge7 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I've taken a half day at work to guarantee watching the opening. Could have probably just streamed it in the office but meh, rather watch it on a proper tv. Probably heading to a mates house to watch the Uruguay game.

GillsMan Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I've just gotten into the world of IT contracting, so no chance of sloping off early. For all future international tournaments, however, I won't be working. Luckily, the IT guys here have put four screens up which I can see perfectly from my desk. I've also just set up streaming BBC Radio 5 on my iPhone so I'll be listening and watching to the opening match. Down the pub for the second match. In a betting syndicate as well (it really does matter mroe when there's money on it) so I'll be following this routine pretty much throughout the World Cup.

bomma Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Will miss the fist game, although may catch the last 5 minutes or so.

nattai Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I will be sleeping for most of it...Damn time zones. Will watch the first game at midnight, but since i have to start at 7am the next morning, the second game, which starts at 4.30 am here, is beyond me. Sigh...could try and last the whole night, but then i would be screwed for the three games the following night. Need to pace myself! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 It's a weekend for us anyway, went out last night from about lunchtime until about 3am and feel absolutely awful at the moment, no chance of doing anything of note down the gym, maybe go for a swim, I am already well stocked for booze but probably won't be drinking tonight I feel so terrible.
