Our Team For The Works World Cup Sweepstake

Mr B, one of the teachers at school asked if we would like to be “in” on the staff World Cup Sweepstake, we have to admit that we did debate the £2 entry fee for about five/ten minutes, before we sensed that Mr B was losing the will to live becoming a little impatient with our prolonged deliberations, so we quickly tossed a coin and as it came up heads we said yes we would  …… paying in pennies, two and  five pence coins, and a couple of washers from Nigel!!!! We think that we may have descerned  a slight terseness in Mr B’s voice as he slowly picked up our aforementioned assorted coins when he said “Thank you boys!!!!!!!!!!”
But now we are in possession of a slip of paper that says Portugal ….. and having checked on various betting sites we feel that at 25 -1 we have invested our £2 well and  have a reasonable chance of going far …… so from Castle Greysquirrel it’s a case of a very robust “Come on Ingerrrrrrrland” AND and equally and forceful “Come on you Portuuuuuuuuuuuugal”!!!

I have Nigeria in the sweep. I don't think I will win anything.
