Gets me a bit like that as well... unavoidable at the moment though. The fate of the entire planet depends on the Origin games... at least it seems that way.

I got so fed up with the constant "will you be watching the game" questions at work yesterday that I just started acting ignorant (not difficult!) and asking things like "what game?" "hasn't the football season finished?" "is there a match on then?" - drove them all up the wall so in the end they changed the subject. Today I shall keep my ipod in my ears and ignore the lot of them

I might manage to disconnect the bank of TVs at work when I leave this evening.......I owe the guy on the night-shift a smack in the mouth, but I reckon disconnecting the TV might be more fun as I think he's invited some mates round

One of the good things about living over this side - no rugby league.

Same here, winter in OZ I dont mind it. Bris winter in particular is spectacular, cold at night, sunny but breezy in the day Weather you really can enjoy and get out in, Pity summer in most parts of OZ is bloody horrible.

Anyone asks me that I'll respond with something along these lines:
"No the tournament doesnt start until June 12th - but then I'll watch as many as possible" - and watch their head spin until they work it out
