    Anyone getting TVs in for the World Cup or thinking of asking. Don't know how to approach our bosses about this so looking for excuses/tips/etc....Our company is a bit old fashioned ie calling directors Mr X and Ms Y although new Chief Exec is English, younger, more modern and a season ticket holder at his club so might be worth the ask.

    Um... where do you work? If you're an air traffic controller I'm taking no flights during the month of June.

    Work in a pub so i'll pretty much see every game:D

    Don't know if i worked in another job if i'd have the balls to ask for a tv to watch the WC though.

    Ah the greatest bit about the recession and having no job. If you have enough money to own a TV you can catch all the football :cool:

    Supervising the junior and leaving exams while this is on. The TV has already been hijacked from the music room and shall be used for us during the world cup :D

    Some of my mates are taking time off during the WC too, so we've planned nearly every day in a house, some in the pub.

    With Ireland not being there you'd need a football fan for a boss to get one in I reckon.
