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.

    • 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.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
