World Cup Soccer

Well, that's the end of another world cup. Certainly a financial success from my point of view. I had several of my closest friends and relatives around very early this morning for the big game. A few mumbles from people because it was BYO food and coffee and I charged $2 a person admission. I thought this was fair deal really because of the extra cost of turning on the two-bar radiator a lot earlier than normal (i.e. July rather than August). Tempers did fray a bit when I asked for an additional 50c when the game went into extra time. All bar one finally paid up (and don't think I won't forget that mum). When the game then when to penalties I contemplated a further 20c a person but thought better of it after I was caught drinking someone else's coffee.

All up, I made $7.50 so a good start to the week.

I think Italy won.
