Spillage

We have been briefed on the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill that has killed a few birds apparently and we've been told not to be dragged into a discussion about it and to not comment on the situation and try and "change the subject". If anyone is that bothered about it, I doubt the person they will go to is a night-shift worker in an M&S Connect store in the middle of suburban Bedford. Still, I have had a couple of comments on it, mostly from drunk people, obviously blaming me for the spill, but hey, it's all a good laugh, apparently.

Rob Green spilled a softie for England but unlike the most of the country I couldn't really care a jiffy. In fact, I found it quite funny looking at his face in slow motion as he realised he would be plastered across every front and back page in every paper back home. As the ball trickled over the line, I didn't need to initialise the slow motion on my friend's new HD ready TV, (incidentally he has already claimed £10 off Curry's for Gerrard's 4th minute goal), as it was so slow already that it didn't need it. And I got a laugh this morning as I walked out of work, knowing I have a very cushty 5 days off, stating my manager looks like Rob Green. "That's a fuckin' insult man!" Hehe!

However, after the match, Rob Green was given a much needed lift after his new skipper, Stevie G, commented on it saying, "He's a top lad, we're all right behind him", and I couldn't help thinking, "In retrospect, would have probably been the best place to stand..."

And ironically, I've just spilt my coffee...

Still, as mentioned above, I do have a very nice 5 days off that I intend on making the most of. I get paid as of tomorrow and as people start coming back from their ravid university lifestyles, I'll have more people to spend that money with. All is well, as it usually is on a Monday, and I might well watch some football, if I can be bothered to drag myself downstairs to watch any. I'm fed up of it all already. Too much pre-tournament hype. To match my expectations, every match would have to finish with 9+ goals and 4 red cards, 2 of which have to be associated with a massive rugby-like bundle in the centre circle. Anything less, and I would be left disappointed. Hence, why I'm left disappointed, as every match, (apart from the match with the Nazis involved), has finished in a cagey draw or a 1-0 scrap. In fact, the most interesting part has been Rob Green's inability to be human.

A special mention to Mr.Daniel Beddoe for insisting on interrupting me every 30 seconds with a pointless texts about "wastemen and sandals". If this post spirals out of control, you know the man to blame.

The best bit about the World Cup is, honestly, it's official song. The Soccerboys with 'Wavin' Flag' is one of the best songs around! "Ohhhh Woooooooah" ... yeah, come to think of it, it doesn't sound too good written down, but if you haven't heard it already, you should try and listen to it. Highly inspirational, if not a little African.

No time for the post to spiral out of control, I have a strange urge to actually go and watch some football. I know, it's amazing. Might spill the odd beer aswell, or is it too early for a can?
