As I think I mentioned on another thread, I managed to pull out Austria at my work. Not that I think either will win the competition, but they are actually above England in the world rankings.

Wales

Almost the land of me. But I made it to Shrewsbury instead

2 people did not pay in my draw and as it was such a fucking mess and so many paid later - I did not keep records of each tenner received. Its a bit fucking naughty as they have not responded to 3 group mails asking the outstanding to settle up. I should really look at who is holding Albania and Iceland as the likely culprits I think.

A tenner?! Our lot were surprised the stake had gone up to £2.50!

I've found from experience that it's very hard to get people to pay up once the teams have been drawn, for obvious reasons. Who's going to want to throw £2.50/£10 away when they know they've got Albania?

I know, I have an innate trust in people. I wouldn't stiff anyone on principle but it seems that other do not have such qualms. They may be on holiday/ out of office etc of course.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Yeah I can imagine a tenner is hard to collect. Ours was two quid.

 

[Smick]

Five quid I paid. For the Ukraine. And I'm going to Lyon to see NI v Ukraine, so I can't cheer them on in their matches. Bah.

 

[stavros]

Ours was only a quid. In these austere times it's all us local authority staff can afford.

 

[belboid]

Sweden, bloody Sweden.

 

[Numbers]

I drew France in ours

We have a fantasy league going too, we have 230 in the pot up for grabs.

Is there one going on here?
