So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Luckily I'm going to work so I can escape for most of the time :)

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Ill be playing world of warcraft. or working, or playing world of warcraft at work, but the TV at work will be remaining firmly off!

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

What World Cup? ???

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Hopefully there will be some thing else on one of the other cable channels failing that I will go to the library more often lol

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

well on the day of the final i shall be celebrating my birthday and my friends 24th :beer: :D

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Go out and enjoy the peace and quiet of the nearly empty streets ;) :D

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

I shall be making birthday cards - a new hobby I've got into. Probably with one eye on the football though!

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

really?

*hint hint* :angel: :D

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

I'll just have a life.

Never really been interested in football, so I don't care about the world cup. Rugby's my sport, or most motorsports (except american lets-go-in-a-circle-for-5hrs IRL dross)

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Well I'd send you one but I don't have your postal address! *hint hint* :angel: :D

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

:Yikes: oh... my.... god.... you know, i really didn't think people like you lot existed!!! IT'S THE WORLD CUP!!! If anything is going to unite people and get them going, surely this is it! I bet if your country gets into the semi finals and beyond, you'll all be watching....

well, i'm stunned... once every 4 years and some people are STILL trying to avoid it!!! ;)

i'm disappointed. disappointed in you all!!! lol :)

well - i hope you all have fun making birthday cards and flying kites or whatever it is you will be doing. I, on the other hand, will be wearing my Nederland tops with pride whilst stealthily avoiding contact with any England fans!!!

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Yes well I don't expect everyone to have the same interests as me.The difference is that my particular interests tend not to be aired across the nation at any point let alone every 4 years,every football season(which is virtually 11 out of 12 months of the year these days) and the results repeated ad nauseum on the news every hour, 24/7.Excuse me if I actually dare to be different.

I think I'm very restrained in merely finding some else to do with my time that won't involve me in what sometimes seems like the extremes of tribal warfare(especially when the non football fan kn*bheads get going).I never resort to the underlying violence that enforced football watching actually engenders in me.I merely go and find something else to do.Every 4 years.


:PP:

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

go outside and enjoy the sunshine! :)

better than being cooped up in a stuffy pub any day... (ok, i'll probably be watching the footy too!)

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

errrr!What sunshine?Have you taken a peek at the weather lately?Plus as we are in the middle of an official drought you can bet all your winnings that it will be raining most of the summer.

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

lol - fair play... and I agree about the violence - it is a shame that the game (restate 'GAME') is ruined by a few idiotic hooligans who really DON'T have anything else at all in their lives to do than spoil things for others.

That's why I follow Holland, not England, as the English are pretty renowned for there 'supporters' antics. I made the choice to be true to my mothers side of the family (Holland), even though I was born in England. The associasion to England when it comes to football is somewhat shameful in my opinion.

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

The Dutch are hardly angels.

Wasn't there a major riot last year between Feyenoord and Ajax fans?

And when Van Persie was at Feyenoord was he not assulted by hooligans who invaded a game between Young Ajax and Young Feyenoord?

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

let's be honest - all countries have their troubles, but the dutch are no where near as known for it as the English. Anyway - i'm not going to start a debate about that - that's going off the thread.

i still want Holland to win - now back to you guys to NOT talk about football....

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

If it is wet then a movie marathon. If it is dry hopefully socialising with the neighbours. No glued to the TV for BB or Footie for me. :D

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

De Klassieker is famous for violence.

But as you say its off-topic.

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

I still have queued to watch

'24' series 1 - not seen any of them ;)

'Bugs' - all 40 episodes - seen some of them

'Hex' - series 2 - seen all before, but better on DVD ;)

'Dune' - the 'mini-series' one with William Hurt - as above for Hex :)

- plenty to do :)

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Well isn't that pretty much how they spend every summer,autumn,winter and spring?

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

football...... over 90 mins of some guys kicking a dead cows skin pumped full of air around a big ass field.


Nah, give it a miss thanks.


Fortunatly, I work in a London Data Center & there are no TV's or radios on-site, so no world cup for me :)

Oh, a little off topic but..... you know all those england flags people have poking out of a closed car window?
They are responsible for the UK burning an extra NINETEEN TONNES of petrolium.

nice.

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

:tu:

Precisely why at a £1 a litre I am not flying the flag :D

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

:notopic: Yes England has it's thugs, but so do other countries, Holland as well. I don't think that a riot has lasted for 3 days over here. :erm:

All football fans are tarred with the same brush...

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Hey let's take the talk about footy hooligans elsewhere please.:tu: I'd rather not think about them this summer.

I think I'm going to learn how to use some of the software that I've not yet really got to grips with.I need to get a book first though.;)

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

ok, forget the world cup,

you could watch the football instead :D

ik

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Or the cricket!!! :rolleyes:

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

I'll be watching Grands Prix when they're on

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Ah well now then that means there is BB,World Cup,cricket,Wimbledon and Grand Prix to avoid.Anything else I've missed?

I'm thinking one would have to reside on Mars to avoid any of them.:(

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

I trust you have ordered the must have item for the discerning Holland fan?

Aaaanvalluh :)

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Incog.. the first thing that came to mind when reading your thread title was 'make snacks for the football watchers for half time'.

but in reality the best thing to do is find the local pub that proudly pronounces no football, and meet lots of like minded people..

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

I thought that you meant the bikinis at first ;)

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

bloody frames ;)

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Not a big drinker...In fact I'm not that fond of pubs..I hate the prices and sit there thinking how much cheaper it would be to drink at home.I get bored too easily as well and keep wishing I had a book or summat to keep me busy..Everyone else is getting bladdered and I'm sober...well more sober than them.;)

Re: So what shall we do instead of watching the World Cup?
 

Well, I'm having a couple of weeks over in the USA. Flight bookings have reduced due to people staying at home to watch the World Cup with the Robin Hood Airport having plenty of space on long haul flights which have only just started being provided from there.
