it starts today and lasts a month. I will be watching all important games in the pub which for me means more than usual nights out, longer nights out and much more pub grub and of course booze.

I am sure I will pile on the weight, what about you?

I am interested in researching the effect of the world cup on weight so if you would like to help please make a note of you weight today and again at the end (I will put out a reminder) and post it here or pm me with it.

many thanks

Exactly, hopefully your study can prove that the World Cup is a danger to public health and should be banned. Now pass me the nachos.

Unfortunately i have put on about 4 kilos already over the last couple of months so the world cup is going to cause me all sorts of problems.

Carmine, I would suggest that you class this as pre World cup preparation.

Oi! fatboy check your PM's....

I might be eating my words when we meet up later this month.....well I've eaten everything else so not to worry!

It is all over and I increased by 1kg, which was less than I thought I would after repeated all nighters in the pub.

Should try and get rid of it but unlikely with the trip to Singapore to see Burnley next week
