I remember the 2002 World cup held in South Korea and Japan,
all the local pubs opened at around 7 A.M. with plenty of butties for breakfast.
I used to work 12 hour night shifts back then, finish the shift drop car off at home, take a seat watch all morning then
sleep ready for next shift. really good fun.
Until that is the final, there was an urgent job needed doing on overtime,
I arranged to go in six hours early the day before and did 18 hours straight through.
Dropped the car off took my usual seat at the bar, had a quick sip of my beer and fell asleep to the preamble before the match,
only waking up as the match was finishing, my pint was now flat it still went down though, the landlord said they'd tried to wake me but it was a deep sleep I was having,
so everyone agreed that so long as I didn't snore they would leave me to it. So yes I suppose that was a meaningless World Cup for me.
This is perhaps how I spent my time that day.
