I think we're lost...

b/c I stole your underwear and you're susceptable to blackmail?

 

Hello, Green!

First: what are your real names? We only use our real names here. I'm Casper, I know that's JP...

 

We didn't have a script, jp-30. That's why it worked so well.

Hey green!

 

well, I'm Liz. No one calls me Elizabeth.

 

Where's Tom?

 

I'm Dave, nice to meet you Casper!

I already know whats-her-face, Kerryn. She hates me.

 

Tom was going to meet some bandmates.

 

Yeah, Dave is the bane of my existence.

 

Nice to meet you, Dave! We met once or twice.

 

So have you lot got any plans for while you're here?

 

Here's a proposition to ponder while I make some noodles for lunch...

 

Never properly though, Casper. It's nice to be around some of these funky titles I've helped out with.

Not sure about the Leeds one, though.

 

Better than being an Evertonian, for sure.

 

Actually, the Leeds one is the reason we all went nuts and wanted one. We saw it, and went, "Ooh! Can we 'ave tha?"

 

Kerryn, here's a bit of homework: go and research which of the two has been the most successful over the past 120 years.

 

Dave, who won yesterday mate?

 

I'm to blame then, Casper. I made the first one for Kerryn as a surprise. Little did I know what work I was letting myself in for.

Edit: Kerryn, as you well know, the present doesn't stand still. At the end of the day, history and where we are going is all that counts. Since we don't know what the future holds, the only yardstick we have is that past.

 

Dave, are you the Everton fan Kerryn talked about, who thought Holland would have won the WC if they had qualified?

 

That sounds like someone lamenting the past. It's gone, over, done, finished. We're here and we're now. The only thing that matters is the near future and how hard we're going to wallop you when we meet.

I heard Barmby's going to lead the team out for that one.

 

Looks like we've scared jp and Liz off in any case!

 

No, JP is having lunch.

 

Dave, funny, I've never really talked with you before, just the odd mod business nonsense. I'd like you to know that you lead me to the dark path.

I never wanted to be a spoiler junkie. But then those damn Ep2 select threads, and the Ep2 Select speculation threads.

From there it was all too easy to give into the temptation.


Kerryn, Cricket on Sunday. What's Warney been smoking this time?

 

I am, Casper! Holland had a great side all through qualification, but it just didn't happen for you. I always like to see the Dutch do well.

Since no one played well in the World Cup (including us), you would have had a really, really great chance.

Edit: Actually, jp, I'm planning on going spoiler-free sometime in the next 12 months. Last chance I'll get!

...and Kerryn, just shhh!

 

jp -- it must be from his exercise regime. Loss of blood to the brain or something.

 

Yeah, that's what I thought. France was nowhere, Germany was a laugh, and Brazil definitely had played much better before.

We just beat White Russia in the EC qualification rounds. Maybe this time...
