Booze isn't banned from what I've read.

It's a spectator sport. You'd hope some turn up, those who have paid for their tickets legally through the proper channels and not those given freebies from FIFA.

Yes let's hope so.

Build it and they will come



No question shenanigans were involved but I don't see why people think England wouldn't have been involved in those as well. Watching the news is embarrassing "what now for English football?". As if a country needs a world cup to crack on and improve

It doesn't seem very fair, but I guess if your media establishment spend 3 months tearing into corruption at FIFA you're not going to make an awful lot of friends.


I wonder who the single supporter was?


I didn't really expect us to win it, I thought that it would probably be Russia. The reasons you'd vote for England is for the existing facilities, the sporting heritage and the money. It's clear from these votes that the actual criteria for judging was the creation of new facilities, expanding the sport's support base to new audiences, and that cash revenue took a back seat.


In some sense a vote for Russia and Qatar is a vote for a new future, a vote for England is about languishing complacently in the past.

Apparently Cameroon was the other England vote.


Where is the legacy is taking a World Cup to Qatar when they are going to dismantle the stadia and take it to countries that do have a heartbeat for football? Zero culture for football, zero people to fill the grounds, anything but zero money now in the pockets of those who take bribes. Would it have been so bad to have given it to Oz?


If it's all about human rights being cleaned up why don't they just pass it around the whole middle east every 4 years?


I say stuff FIFA and let's get on with PL and CL football!

"The laws of Qatar tolerate alcohol to a certain extent. However, the few bars and nightclubs in Qatar operate only in expensive hotels and clubs, much Distribution Company, the only importer and retailer for alcohol in Qatar. Under Qatar's Sharia, it is illegal to show alcohol or be drunk in public."

    • Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk               
    • I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt. 
    • Hello Womanofdulwich, I had a meter installed in the summer of last year. Currently my bills have fallen massively. Can you remember which month your water meter was installed? Also I received two appointments, one from a group of staff in orange who decide if the property is suitable for the water meter, and then a second appointment for the meter to be installed, did you have the same thing? Are you saying as well that you was cold called regarding the water meter, or are you saying someone from Thames water turned up, at your door unannoyed?   Lastly (so sorry to through so much questions at you) how many bedrooms do you have and how many people live at the property?
