machiato Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 What happens if they dont come? Whoever lands Brazil or Croatia is already one game down. If two more are not found by tomorrow I would be tempted to remove two of the teams from the hat who have already played a match (teams that have lost of course and are less likely to progress).

taurean Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Come on people join the party, have some fun, and help this wonderful charity that does so much for you! Roy Link to comment
machiato Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ok.... My hamster says she wants a part in this. Thats another £5. Link to comment
Ashley Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ok.... My hamster says she wants a part in this. Thats another £5. Ha please thank your Hamster, we allocated the places this morning it seem, so I need to offer some refunds. (although I am happy to let my place go to your hamster because if I draw a favourite I will look bad so I would have to donate my winnings anyway lol). Or I can refund the payment back to your hamster? I have had a kind anonymous donation for the last two places this morning, which I am allocating. Todays game is 5pm, so I will make the draw before then, about 4pm (I have a meeting to nip to shortly). Thank you everyone for getting involved, it is a bit of fun of course and no skill involved, so thank you for your kind donations to the charity, and I look forward to being able to send some of you some winnings in about a months time..... for the rest of us, it's all about the fun Link to comment
machiato Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well, my Hamster is a bit of a tight-a*** to it will no doubt demand the £5 back, or a tribunal and inquest into the OCD-UK FIFA regulations. In fact.... she is now 'squeeking for your head' Ashley.... I will leave it down to you if you want to allocate your place to her. But either way. Sleep with one eye open. She is after your neck!

Lol. I will send the Hamster the money if that's ok with you? Since your Hamster entered earlier, I have decided I am going to donate my place to a forum user whose had a very difficult time this year because of an earthquake, and keeping in the spirit of the World Cup and our World users, I think I am going to message Andrea in Chile and donate my entry to her. I will do the draw later, and happy to broadcast via Skype from 4pm (message me for Skype details) - Hey, i'm trying to build excitement. Link to comment

machiato Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I suspect he was more of a 'guest' than a 'pet' ??? Link to comment
Ashley Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 I am cutting my little sweepstake bits of paper and adding into two bowls (ok dish's) as we speak... tension building... excitement building? But again, thank you so, so much for everyone for getting involved. A bit of forum fun, always nice and helping the charity at the same time. Link to comment

Ashley Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Oh good idea, everyone should change their forum flag to the nation of their WC team. Link to comment
grams88 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Actually that's not a bad idea to get a picture of the flag for our team for our profile picture, I've got Italy I might be in with a shout, I noticed Mrs Legend has Brazil, they are off to a good start no doubt about it although there was a disputed penalty. (lol) :Italy: :Italy: Link to comment

Ashley Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 so... um... what exactly happens now then....? You got the Dutch, so for the next month or so you get to go Orange and become a Holland fan (also charity colours, double bonus). Link to comment
Guest AJ45 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 How about we all now say who we think will win the World Cup............ So obviously Belgium but if not then Brazil. Other than that we watch football, record scores on our " wall charts" and cross our fingers and wait for the winnings to arrive!!!!!!! Enjoy the footie ! Link to comment
