Have to say we are very lucky as there are two alternatives for me - Watch it in the office with free beers supplied or alternatively one of the bosses has booked a spot in a local pub for us to watch it there.


I guess World Cup games during working hours are very rare - but nevertheless - quite generous I think.


Obviously I have to pretend to be supporting England, otherwise I'm back at my desk pdq....;-)

My school? Well if Salesian College hasn't changed since I was there, then it'll be Mass.

Jesus, they loved a good Mass so they did.

Then it'll be straight back to education, let loose at 3:30 PM, buy a couple of 'singles' from the papershop and smoke them on the top deck on the way home.

And damn the conductor's (bus, not orchestra) eyes if he so much as gives me a sideways glance.

Coxy blackguard.


Why d'you ask?

OMG thats so funny HonloochieB.


Mick Mac, I am ever so sorry I don't know what my school is doing either. I doubt that they have registered there is a football match on tomorrow so likely it will be 'business as usual' ;-)


On a serious note, great that you have both options. If you aren't bothered about supporting England to win, why not just stay in the office and take advantage of the free beer to help see through the afternoon. Only go to the pub fyou like the person who has arranged it and you are prepared to feign joy when England score...

My building is turning the trading room into a "viewing room". They weren't going to do anything but one of the senior PAs intervened and organised it off her own bat (God bless her and I'll contribute highly to her leaving collection). There's a budget of half a cider and 3.5 Doritos each. I'm extremely impressed by this activity because I work for the tightest bunch of cunts who ever drew breath.
The school reference was meant for those with school children - apparently a lot of heads are not doing anything to allow the children to see the game, so the children will miss at least part of the game - which I think will be very disappointing for some of them.
I've booked the boardroom (with a big screen) for a 2 hour 'meeting' from 3pm. It has a big screen in there and I'm taking in a portable aerial in case the internet streaming goes down. It's an open meeting so anyone's free to come and go and we'll be discussing stuff, especially pressing international issues.
My daughter's teacher at Dulwich Hamlet has asked the Head if they can watch the match in the school hall. He is doing it for the kids' sake, of course. Hope they let them stay until half time if they want to then dash home for the second half.
We?ve got a bar in the office. If there is any sport on they always have it on the big screen. It is always open for employees to watch, eat, drink etc at their own discretion. So long as you?re sensible. I?ve never seen or heard of anyone abusing it in the 7 years I?ve been here. It will probably be quite busy this afternoon.

I think there will be a mass exodus after lunchtime to nearby pubs as a lot of the team arrived very, very, early today (apparently).


Working from home as no meetings today so I will (hopefully) enjoy a quiet cycle ride later on after the game has kicked off.


Good luck England!

Not in this case. It's not a meeting, as in sitting in a meeting room, it's me and a couple of others having to prepare for a ministers visit tomorrow morning, and the others seem completely oblivious to the fact there is a world cup happening.


To be fair, they let me get away with absolute murder most of the time, and have been good to me, so can't really moan, it's just a bugger that this minister is coming tomorrow morning.


Basically, it's all the Tories' fault.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
