Re: World Cup 22 The Sweepstake Thread
Shot while you sleep? Have they gone soft? At least two weeks in a damp cellar with electrodes on your nads, a light tenderising with a baseball bat and a bit of waterboarding before disappearing in various chunks used to be standard just for a parking offence. Looks like Saudi has them beat all ways up.

Re: World Cup 22 The Sweepstake Thread
Is there anywhere easy to to see a table of how things are going? It's a bit cryptic on this thread, but I'm not watching it and don't know when things are on, so am a bit confused!!!

Like google?

And if you click on say Group C and scroll down you get the table.

Re: World Cup 22 The Sweepstake Thread
TBF I've spent so much time searching for stuff on Google and not finding it because I'm not asking the right question, that, in general, I ask for help instead!!

Re: World Cup 22 The Sweepstake Thread
I would think now you have to work with it it should all click into place better. You can go back to that bakers shop with the sarcastic lass behind the counter and tell her what you think in fluent French soon enough

Re: World Cup 22 The Sweepstake Thread
It will. Even just in the four days I've been working, I can read and write better. Struggling to understand my colleague but she's a lot younger than me and the boss, so I suspect her phrasing is very different, and I think she has a different accent!!
And no - I'm going to speak to the snotty cow in English and in French to everyone else I can be just as much of a dick as she can, but if she can't understand Chocolat Chaud s'il vous plait, then there is no hope!! LOL

Re: World Cup 22 The Sweepstake Thread
I think I'm turning Japanese.
I really think so.
Spain looking ominous though.
