(Pours for Egon, for self and for GreyDesk!
Here's to an unpredictable World Cup!
I'm sorry I took so long to get the drinks. This really is true: I got so excited watching the last minutes of France v Senegal that I kicked the table and spilled on my computer keyboard! I've just had to spend the last hour taking it apart, drying it out and putting it back together again! My keyboard has had a injury!

I hope I don't do that- I've got a laptop so the buttons have more complicated mechanisms- I already have to press the hole where W used to be...

Good luck, Egon! 
Are you staying up all night, or getting up early for Ireland v. Cameroon?

I'll probably get up early- I've just had a night out and might not manage an all-nighter.

I've just realised there's only 5 hours to go, so I may have to pull an all-nighter- oh well, I have championship manager, diet coke and the new Norah Jones and Badly Drawn Boy albums to keep me awake

I think I'll need it. is that "me too" to the staying up, the out drinking, or the methods of staying awake?

Unfortunately I'll have to actually CHANGE the fantasy footbll table after the Ireland match because someone has to get some points. It was nice that France lost, not only for the pleasure of seeing them lose, but because no-one got any points so I didn't have to edit anything.

We're not going down and we're not going up! We won't win the league and we won't win the cup...
