Welcome
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:
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"
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:
- Visiting as many London pubs / bars / cafes with a connection to the participating countries as possible
- Avoiding the wrath of our girlfriends / fiancees / Alan
- Avoiding the need for serious medical attention
