World Cup first and foremost! Jodie has read the rules of how I will be acting during the world cup and signed on the dotted line to accept them! ;)

LIST OF RULES FOR WOMEN DURING WORLDCUP 2006

1. From 9 June to 9 July 2006, you should read the sports section of
the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the
WorldCup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations.

If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or
you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any
attention. Any sexual activity during matches will be limited to blow
jobs which do not block our view of the television.

2. During the WorldCup, the television is mine, at all times, without
any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you
will lose it (your eye).

3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don't
mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without
distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make
sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I
wont have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the
WorldCup month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a
refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if
you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone,
or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it wont
happen.

5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the
fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and
please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over
to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV
between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed
during the day.

6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because one of my
teams is losing, DO NOT say "get over it, its only a game", or "don't
worry, they'll win next time". If you say these things, you will only
make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never
ever know more about football than me and your so called "words of
encouragement" will only lead to a break up or divorce.

7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk
to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only
if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am
saying "one" game, hence do not use the WorldCup as a nice cheesy
excuse to "spend time together".

8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don't care if I have
seen them or I haven't seen them, I want to see them again. Many
times.

9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child
related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
a) I will not go,
b) I will not go, and
c) I will not go.

10. But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to
watch a game, we will be there in a flash.

11. The daily WorldCup highlights show on TV every night is just as
important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying "but
you have already seen this...why don't you change the channel to
something we can all watch??", the reply will be: "Refer to Rule #2 of
this list".

12. And finally, please save your expressions such as "Thank God the
WorldCup is only every 4 years". I am immune to these words, because
after this comes the Champions League, Italian League, Spanish League,
Premier League, etc etc.

Thank you for your cooperation.

football first

for me the world cup has been a long running tradition dating back to 1986, I have watched as many games as I can dating back to when i was a young kid with my dad in front of the telly

to me nothing is better than hearing Martin Tyler's (is that how you spell it) voice during the world cup period, when i first hear it I know I am in for an awesome 4 weeks

and to top it off, Australia is in the world cup also, what a great time to be a football fan in Australia!

Well...

Our first problem is this weekend. A few parties are on. Will they have World Cup screens?

Do I want to see grandmaster flash's mate play everyone elses old tunes while GM Flash craps on the mic about how good he is (whilst his mate DJs)?

Do I want to go to St Pauls?

Two good parties, one world cup.

The world cup comes on every four years. I will have a chance to see GM Flash his "last and final" tour once again I am sure.

I think I have already made my decision.
PS dont vote in this poll unless you are a football (association) fan.

A) get a handheld tv you can carry around with you everywhere if you're that dedicated, quandry solved... no one is going to care if you spend the whole time at sounds and st pauls watching you're little handheld tv.

B) you're a cunt. Grand Master Flash is a legend show due respect or just don't go... and if you're not going and have a ticket can I have it??!! :|)

C) if there are earthquakes and all that jazz you wont be watching anything, nor will the game be played. I hope it happens so you suffer. :kiss:

A) My TV is better than any handheld that doesnt get any reception

B) GM Flash should show respect to us by putting on a show instead of playing a video for 15 minutes, getting his mate to DJ "here comes the hotstepper" for us then tell us all how we witnessed history that night.

C) My power supply is earthquake proof!!!!

We love sounds encroaches on Serbia and Montenegro vs Netherlands.

Winter Enchanted encroaches on two quarter finals.

Short version - fuck the parties. Ive seen all those guys before, I will see them all again within the next 12 months and the world cup comes every four years.

Is your phone capable of having more than one person watching it easily or not?

How big is the screen?

Although sitting in a dark corner at some rave to watch football wont be too much fun I dont think.

I wont go to WE unless the football is on there. Simple as that really.

Considering the football goes for 6 hours (2 hr break in between matches) there doesnt seem to be much point in leaving the venue to watch the football and come back.

Well i'll be on german soil in 13 days...

Depending if Aussies make it to round 2, i may very well watch it in said city where they are playin, and then party with all the aussie touring ppl...

OR even go to Said tavern in england (aussie tavern with all aussies!) and watch it with a bunch of aussies and gloat in our glory to english fans... either way, i'll be drunk as fuck in vicinity of cheering aussies...

IF aussies don't make round 2, i'll be backing germany in any local tavern... drink a shitload of German beer, and speak German Bullshit to everyone else! Will be an awesome experience either way... I love being able to speak German... gets an edge on the ladies in germany, esp if u act like u don't understand german and listen in to what they are sayin to their friends about you! :shear: MUHAHAHAHHAHA

Yes come to germany. I'm a german and I can promise you it's a big party here in the citys where the games play.
Some of my mate have been in cologne a few days ago when ghana stirked czech republik. It was awesome...

But the best spirit was after the two victorys of germany. Hopefully tomorrow the 3rd one :w00t:
