World Cup Pub Crawl

Hello and welcome to WorldCupPubCrawl,

this will hopefully provide a fascinating and yet humourous account of a group
of "friends" attempting to watch as many world cup games as possible while:

1. Visiting as many London pubs / bars / cafes with a connection to the participating countries as possible
2. Avoiding the wrath of our girlfriends / fiancees / Alan
3. Avoiding the need for serious medical attention

I'm Pooch and I'll be your intrepid guide to proceedings (think of Uncle Travelling Matt from Fraggle Rock) so firstly I should introduce the other characters:

Arun

Bio
From Northern-Ireland and therefore with no interest in the competition (though he secretly supports England) his main pupose is to antagonise the rest of us especially Denning

Likes
Getting the mac on with the ladies

Dislikes
Denning's projection television

Most likely to say
"How's the crack man?"


Joe

Bio
Born into a plastics dynasty Joe is the posh figurehead of our group. He lives with Denning but it's just to save on the rent and heating.

Likes
Louise, Kate Moss, Gin and Tonic

Dislikes
Owen Hargreaves (goes without saying really)

Most likely to say
"Get-in!"






Fu

Bio
Greek playboy, lawyer and historian. Due to the failure to qualify of his home country he'll be supporting Switzerland this time. Marrying the lovely Marcher in August

Likes
Iskender, Efes, Everton

Dislikes
Joff, one-touch football

Most likely to say
"I thought they'd never leave"





Pooch

Bio
Repressed homophobe and middle-class wannabe, Pooch is the madcap ideas machine of the group.

Likes
Byrne, Manchester United, Ale, Rooney

Dislikes
Dogs, wasps, fire, snakes, heights, cats, hot things, eating after 8pm

Most Likely To Say
"Byrne!"








Denning

Bio
The man with three teams and deserved whipping boy of the group (not literally). Will be desperately trying to balance the world cup with World of Warcraft, World Wrestling Federation and World of Warcraft (so much so I mentioned it twice).

Likes
Arsenal FC, Southampton FC, Eastleigh FC

Dislikes
Beer, sunlight

Most Likely To Say
"Howdy Howdy"




Meado

Bio
Rhythmic tapping noises are most likely to be heaard coming from Alex's corner of the room, this won't be due to his affection for Carrick and Lennon but his obsessive drumming.

Likes
Darts, Snooker, oh, and Tottenham

Dislikes
The Marriott Hotel, West India Quay

Most Likely To Say
"Gold"





Dann

Bio
Dann is the one of us who actually IS very good at football. If Rooney hadn't been fit (at the time of writing), Dann would have been the perfect replacement.

Likes
Chopping his food up into small pieces, Steve

Dislikes
Insects, sleeping

Most Likely To Say
"Why don't we liven it up by taking off an item of clothing every time you lose?"




Kev

Bio
Although it looks like the dimensions of this picture are wrong, Kev actually is this wide.

Likes
West Ham, pushing the boundaries of socially acceptable converations

Dislikes
Eating outside, Denning, Adam

Most Likely To Say
"That happened to my nan once"






Mike

Bio
You need to be careful round Mike. He seems like a nice guy but if Nina's away things change. This picture was taken by the police after one such incident. Don't mess.

Likes
Nina, Maths, steak, eating outside

Dislikes
Nuts

Most Likely To Say
"This whole thing was my idea"
