Thank the Lord for that.

The last time (1966) we staged the World Cup (and won it!) I got p*ssed and proposed to my first wife. I'd only known her 6 weeks....... Two months later we were married.

I was dreading us getting the vote this time ~ no knowing what might have happened!

Next chance 2030 ...  lol:  Yippee! By that time I probably won't be giving a toss about anything, if I'm around that is, and making any sense  whistle:

22 votes were made, we got two. Assuming that we voted for ourselves, only one of the other 21 thought we were worth it  ::)

I see we have taken losing this thing well  noooo:.

So the system for awarding this 'prize' seems open to persuasion . As it has been for a long, long  time. I am assuming we would have forgotten all about this had we been successful.

So perhaps it's best to argue for change prior to you putting in a bid not when you have just lost and you want your ball back  noooo:
