Football's not coming home

[ciphergoth]

It may shock some of you to know that I have been watching the football. It's all lilithmagna's fault.

For those of you who hate the football, don't worry, England will be eliminated before long.

Update PS: isn't anyone going to ask me what my icon is?

When Portugal eliminated England in the Euro 2004, I got a phonecall from my grandmother asking if I was OK and to please be careful because she had heard about problems in London involving Portuguese people...

There's every chance Portugal will eliminate England again on 1 July...

Oh, hadn't noticed that! I was still at the stage of Argentina or Netherlands.

I always found that the best part of the first stage is working out the possible scenarios. It's a cute conditional computing exercise...

And please explain what seals have in common with football.

Thank you - I thought you'd never ask :-)

It's sealions on a yurt!

Wow! A football joke that I can understand and that's funny.

Steady - I wouldn't go that far!

But it was an inventive and outrageous pun and that's funny in my book.

Believe me, when we've got a book on our shelves called "Who do you think you are kidding Mr Klinsmann?" that is supposed to be the best in World Cup humour I'll take a good visual pun anyday.

Now I'm having trouble finding the LJ post from which I originally lifted the pun...

*scratches head*

I'll use the "me speaks english, yes. me not native, me don't get it"-card then...

Update: an Irishman has just explained it to me...

Me gets it now!

Right...
