World Cup Willie must be turning in his grave/December 3rd 2010

Richie - We locals gathered in the snug yesterday to watch the world cup draw. Arthur Groat and Dr Singh were in high spirits, re-enacting Hurst's 66 winner, and Marcia Braithwaite was flashing her St George bloomers to anyone willing to pay 50p into the charity Xmas fund. But what a disappointment, eh Rich ? We were let down by snake oil salesman Cameron, who sounded more like Toff Spice pleading with delegates that he "really really" wanted the World Cup to come to England. And what with Barmy Boris adding his size 11's to the mix the game was up well before Goldenballs started jerking the heart strings. What was needed was a world statesman on our team, a Blair or a Brown, not a 2nd rate unelected PM. Needless to say there was much dejection when the winning bid was announced but a few pints were downed and a rousing rendition of "There'll Always Be A Multi-Cultural England" saw us through. And who knows - a cryogenically frozen Wob Boberts might still be around for the 2030bid!
