My guess is that they have worked longer than you ever will.

The ever increasing age of retirement would suggest otherwise…

Swings and roundabouts TBF as most pensioners will have started work a lot earlier than those that will have to wait a little longer for their state pension. Many would have left school at 16 and started work straight away. Today a lot more soap dodge and go to uni and then find it harder to get a job.

Home - can’t stand watching England in pubs etc - Lady Flash will watch with me, albeit we had a minor conflab first half of semi final, as she was (after already being quite a few Pinos in) constantly talking and offering her opinion about how the match was going, and talking utter drivel - my request for her pipe down as she didn’t know what she was talking about didn’t go down well 😂

Funny innit, himself talks constant drivel while we’re watching too.
Talking like he played professionally and not for the local old bill team 🙄

All I can do is manage to breath in and out through each passing match.
I’ll need a ventilator on standby come Sunday and an intravenous drip for my peroni 😫😫😫😫😫😫

At home in the living room with Mrs P who is not a huge football fan, but watched the last final. She says she likes penalty shoot outs, clearly she is a freak.

Why say she's a freak🤣 I thought everyone loved penalty shootouts!! Aren't they the most exciting thing of the game? Just think about our memorable penalty shootout with Sunderland in 1998! I wish I had experienced that. It surely is a once in a life time experience for every Charlton or Sunderland fan at the time and something one will never ever forget.

Believe you me, I was at Wembley 98 and I hated every moment of the penalty shootout !!!

This...
I couldn't even watch the shootout at Wembley, after the match and extra time drama, I was wrung out emotionally, but when Sas saved the last one and the roof came off our end, I was there..."The only way is up" 'n all...👍

The £10m save it was labelled in the press. I wonder what it's worth now?

I’m not going to Germany or an outdoor screening, I’ll be sitting at home. Why have the game on a Sunday night when nearly everyone has to be up the next morning?  3pm Sunday or Saturday night make much more sense. 

To be fair having it at 3pm on a Sunday wouldn't really help much as all it would mean is everyone starts drinking in the pub at 12 (i appreciate some might anyway) and go all day and feel even worse on Monday.

Going to the game flight to Munich tomorrow and a train to Berlin

Was Stressing about the return as literally no flights or trains but good old BA started to put a few extra flights on and bagged a bargain £800 single back to City on Monday 

Give yourself plenty of time to travel on the trains as the German ones are worse than ours. hope your journey goes well and you have a great time!

I'm in Santorini and watched the semi final in our hotel room. Trying to decide if I'll book a table at a local restaurant showing it.

Many years ago, I went with Peterboro Addick to a local Peterbro pub and watched the England Argentina 2-3 loss. At full time it turned quite nasty and, whilst nothing happened to me, I felt threatened. Ever since I've found watching matches on my own in public places a bit disconcerting. On the other hand if we win I'd like to share the atmosphere.

Lie on the sofa with a stack of pillows covering my head.🫣

Unless you are stitched up like me as old enough to have started paying NI at 16 but young enough to not start getting state pension until 67

I get the same thing with tax, earn too much through PAYE so I pay silly percentage but not enough to be able to get an accountant so I pay nothing…

Anyone know a good boozer kind of anywhere in SE that isn't yet completely done for bookings? A load of us have left it a bit too late as we're playing cricket in Shoreham (1pm start, 30 overs a side, done by 5ish we hope) and weren't sure when we'd be able to get somewhere.

Ideally one of Greenwich, Kidbrooke, Dartford, Lewisham/Lee, Bromley would be the options owing to the respective geographies of our group and transport logistics. Cheers

At the stadium in Berlin. Got to Berlin this afternoon. Not overly busy with football fans. I reckon it will get busy from tomorrow lunchtime onwards. 

At home with the missus and a few friends.

We won’t get to see England in many major finals in our lifetimes, so just gonna enjoy it.
