HELP the world cup cometh!!!
It is coming round again!!! You can tell from the advertisers who are all cashing in on it, making sure that their adverts are linked to this big event. From TV stations, making sure that we all know they have a share of the pie. No am not talking about Most Haunted (huh?), Will and Grace (good gracious, why?), or Big Brother (how ghastly!!) it is WORLD CUP
This has the makings of a most horrid and boring and irritating summer ever!!!
Time for English (not British mind you) pride. Time to support our "boys" and for every house and car in the block (save mine) to sport the St. George flag with great pride. Time to paint our faces, our dogs, our nails, our cars with the English colours, never mind that your people came from Africa or Asia. Oh help!!!
I ask you where is the fun in watching grown men chasing an inflated pig skin. I do not care what everyone says, it is BORING!!!!!! blah, blah, blah, blah goes the commentator and strategists, former players and experts. Oh those instant replays, slow motions, dissecting the play of the day to everlasting boring and tedious details that are as much fun as watching grass grow. Yawn, bring in the clowns says I.
Last time round, employers allowed their people watch telly at work so they would not miss each and every “exciting” moment. A friend of mine was almost lynched for daring to cheer BRAZIL. Ken Livingston, the "innovative" mayor of London put up large TVs in Trafalgar square so that people could watch the UK matches and for miles you could hear the roar of the crowds at every move.
Well, I will definitely have to look for something to do this summer. What with Big Brother – God spare us – and World Cup taking up all that broadcast time, there will be a very big gap in my TV watching calendar.
Here’s to long walks along the London Bridges

Wewe! I am sure Mr. Acrobat and Adrian will be here to give you a right telling off. How dare you slag off the World Cup? Do you realise or understand the anticipation?
p.s.
I have my Ivory Coast colours already lined up:)
Here in Kenya, KTN is airing the matches - phew! at least I won't miss my favorite addictions after all coz they won't be screened for the duration - at least not during matches ...
I did purchase a Netherlands T-shirt today, though, for my 'niece'...
Brasilia. Brasilia. Brasilia.
As one who cannot wait for the World Cup to begin, I have to say living in England and not being a fan of football this summer isnt gonna be fun.
But, if England are knocked off early, and you need someone to walk the London Bridges with you, come find me.
