The number of people watching live football totally destroyed the Internet in a lot of exchanges today. We had people paying shed loads for 1:1 contention on SDLS who were only getting 50kbps because the BT back bone was trashed. This tripled the number of "low speed faults" I had to deal with today.

Add to that all the people asking if I could divert their phones to their mobile so they could go to the pub, which doubled the number of programming requests.

Add to that, the other two guys who actually do the programming f*cked off to watch the football at 3pm.

I was at work until 8pm. I f*cking hate football. Why is there this level of interest in a bunch of over paid attention whores kicking a piece of dead pig around, when hardly anyone can be bothered to even vote in a general election? It seems to me that most people should just f*ck off and die if that's where their priorities lie.

The weather isn't helping. It's over 25C indoors and my brain is melted and I generally want to f*cking kill everyone anyway. Work isn't helping and did I mention I f*cking hate football?

GET BACK TO WORK AND STOP DUMPING YOUR SH!T ON ME YOU BALL LOVING ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

At the next world cup book those days off when the games fall within work hours.

If I had any holiday to take, I would.

Not a football fan then

The World Cup is every four years. I have to listen to whingers all the time. Which is worse?
