Sweep stake action!
So, the World Cup is almost upon us...
For those not into all things football related, this is where 32 countries the world over get together and slug it out to proove who plays the best Soccer.
This provides a thinly veiled excuse for people to paint their faces, drink alot of beer, talk about sport, buy shirts/car flags/comedy plastic hair emblazoned with the flag, buy other vaguely related stuff that is shamelessly advertised as being somehow related to football.
We're not too fussed about any of these things, but we are a big fan of trash talking our collegues, thus we have entered the office sweepstake.
This is where everyone pays £1 and picks a country name out of a hat. If their country wins the world cup, they get all the money in the hat. (well, biscuit tin)
There is then lots of laughing and mockery as folk reveal that they've drawn Lativa or some other not-that-good-at-football country (apologies to Lativans everywhere)
We drew Sweden, which apparently is 'not that bad'
So, bring it on!

Where the hell is Lativa? Latvians the world over are shuddering as we speak.
I'm certainly glad i got no such place in my work sweepstake. Yes, very glad that i got ...Iran.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear Sweden's first keeper got a football to his face at practise so now he can't play.
Yeah, that's what I said. I think he got a concussion, though.
