Things To Do Next Summer
OK, so England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all failed to qualify for Euro 2008 but rather than berate multi-millionaire players for ruining your summer, do as the Monty Python boys told us to do all those years ago, and look on the bright side. Here then are the TOP TEN THINGS TO DO NEXT SUMMER...
Support a random side
Instead of avoiding the Euro 2008 completely, why not try and support another side? How about Poland? Meaning you can go to the pub alongside the majority of the plumbing industry.
Get fit
Not a popular alternative to watching your team play, but one that will lengthen your life, indirectly giving you more chance of seeing them win something (unless you're Scottish).
Home Internationals?
The Home Internationals, last won by Northern Ireland in 1984, may be returning. Sounds like a good idea, though it'll probably add further insult to English misery as they fail to win that too.
Go see some live music
There are some big acts returning to tour the UK in 2008, notably Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin and Radiohead. Girls Aloud and Boyzone are also touring. Awesome.
Get drunk at Lords
England play New Zealand and South Africa, but don't bank on them to improve on the country's sporting misfortunes. But a day out in the sun with the free-flowing Tetleys can't be passed up.
