The (Official) World Cup Sweep Draw

The (Soccer) World Cup is pretty big in England, apparently. Because it is so big (and because I love an excuse for a bbq), the good folk of Willesden Lane decided to do a Sweep. Countless emails and text messages finally convinced 16 friends to be a part of the Sweep for the small fee of a fiver. The person who has the winning football team on July 11 will take home the grand total of £60, runner's up will pocket a very handy 20 quid - you would be mad not to get involved with that kind of money up for grabs!

We decided to have a bbq and a few drinks in the backyard to celebrate The Official Draw. Countless emails and text messages finally convinced 3 people to turn up at our backyard and help draw some names and teams out of a couple of salad bowls. Potential guests may have been deterred from coming along as I asked everyone to wear something 'Official'. Thankfully Kate turned up in a Policeman's hat. I wore a suit and bike gloves. Nobody else bothered. It was a great day though (the photos prove that). We drew the teams, drank some Pimms, enjoyed a splendid bbq (well done Dave) and finished off playing darts in the pub across the road. Brilliant.

For the record, I drew Germany and New Zealand. Brilliant.

Prostate Cancer Fundraiser

There's a link to the right of this blog where you can help support Prostate Cancer research through donating to the cause. I will be riding my bike through the streets of London in September to help raise money and awareness of this disease, so if you are able, please support me on this venture with a donation of any amount you like.
