WC| UKidding me?

I believe in some past lifetime of mine - I must have been British. Not only because I drink enough tea to make the Queen proud. But because they love their football like it should be loved: unconditionally.

Let's look at some quick facts and figures, shall we?

In the UK, a survey showed that an estimated 38% of workers said they'd miss work to watch their team during the World Cup. In fact:

" - 5% said they would take a sickie

- 18% said they would go to the pub with friends or colleagues*

- 23% said they would take the day or half-day off

- 5% would be prepared to miss or reschedule their first day in a new job to watch a key game

- 28% would reschedule a planned business lunch*

- 17% would defer a meeting with their boss

- and 48% said being allowed to watch key games would be the biggest booster to morale. "

*i plead guilty.

And. . . let's be honest, if most of us didn't love money as much as we do? We'd probably take June 11th to July 16th off and change our mailing addresses to the nearest pub for the above period. So, for all of us 1) living in parts of the world where games are televised during working hours (blimey hell); and/or 2) who can't afford time off (again.. BLIMEY hell). . . what will we do???

Well, I know what I intend on doing. 2 words: LIVE STREAMING. And this is how I'll respond if anyone has a problem with it:
