I imagine, in short, most of them.


The Gowlett have inastalled a telly for the bog competitions in the past, I'm sure the EDT will be showing the games and a host of other places.


Its a pity Hoopers have gone, have very fond memories of their early morning world cup bacon sarnies during the rugby world cup.

It's just the misplaced arrogance Jah. And before the joker ???? posts vintage footage Ally's Army '78 we learned our lesson and got on with being a tiny country playing with passion and occasionally above our means.


We know our place but usually, to the amusement of many north of the border, England don't. This phenomena normally creates marginal value for the punter but even the bookies agree this time.


England at evens to go out a the group stage: http://www.skybet.com/football/world-cup/event/15782033

From what I've read a fair percentage of Brazilians don't want the competition primarily because of the cost and how the money would be better spent elsewhere.

"But I don't ever recall a run up to a World Cup with such lack of enthusiasm all round"


Just wait til the Qatari one!!!


Everyone will surely still enjoy a world festival of colour and football once it starts if Brasil can avoid a popular revolution and/or stadia collapses.


Perhaps though it's a reflection of the modern game (ie broader levels of fitness and professialism, coupled with closer media control) that there are fewer personalities or standout talents there to get excited about.

I for one am looking forward to this world cup JUST to enjoy one without fekkin vuvuzelas - ruined last one for me


I also think excitement will pick up once it approaches and people start planning "exotic" times to be drinking in the pub


If there is less excitement these days it could be the saturation of football generally coupled with the fact that once this was a rare opportunity to see unknown and amazing talent. These days, that talent is already known, paid for and playing on your TV every week

    • 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.
    • 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".
