Frustrating for me, I get to watch on a tiny screen, well I just catch glimpses and pay attention at critical moments. Still it's better than not knowing or listening. It's fairly quiet at the time of the England game, whereas it will be dead busy at the time of the Aus game dammit.
Very grateful for this mobile technology that allows us to do this for the first time this year.
Even I better not take a sickie for this one..... I'm saving a last card just in case
I think I would be on a warning for the next one (after this).... luckily we get 3

I've arranged my roster so I'm working a 4p-midnight tonight, and have already told my Sergeant I need to leave a bit early so I can get home in time for kick-off.
And another 4-mid tomorrow so I can have some sleep after the England game and then watch the Aussie game and then have a bigger sleep in the day

I just had a 42" plasma installed in the office, for work purposes of course. Just a coincidence it had a freeview tuner built in .....

I once tried that line about "the games already finished here" on a mate who was in the UK. Now admittedly he was watching the game live and was more than half cut, a lot more, when he rang me up to ask if I was watching the game as well.
I told him it had finished here about 10hrs ago and that United lost on penalties... he went ******g potty !! Started 'effin and blinding and shouting to his wife that those "jammy Cockney bastards win on penalties". He shouted "sod it then, I'm off to bed" and hung up on me. He stomped off to bed.... and missed United beating Chelsea on penalties in the CL Final.
