General

I’ve tried to ignore it. I’ve gone with a lifetime habit and just said I’m not into it. It’s not my thing. Though not my choice, most of the time I welcomed the sound of a match as a nice change of pace from the usual bands or films we put on in the background, but that was the limit of my involvement, the peak of my interest. Just something different to listen to while at work.

The World Cup in South Africa is nearly upon us and we here at the office (well, two thirds) have started to get in the spirit of things: getting the beers and barbecue in ready for the big game, checking out the Rocky Horror Picture Show hairstyles of yesteryear, salivating at the prospect of our boys losing again, and buying the official World Cup sticker album! What better way to show your love for your country than by collecting the team in small rectangular form, showing your support for the players with ever so slightly crooked stuck on portraits? Those were the days!
