Slowly the bar began to fill up with English speaking patrons. I sheepishly<br />

looked around and saw mainly middle aged, beer bellied guys who sat at the bar<br />

and flirted with the waitresses as the barman waited to take their order. After<br />

flirting they made their way to the tables around me and sagged down into the<br />

hard wooden chairs.<br />

“Who’s playing?” One asked me.<br />

“Man U and Spurs.” I said helpfully.<br />

“Ha ha. No. Who is in the team?” A table of three chubby, unshaven guys<br />

cracked different jokes between themselves about me.<br />

I ran through the teams and subs and told them that fuck all had happened yet.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y asked what I was doing there, so I told them. I asked them the same<br />

question. It seemed to me that they thought I was a mug. <strong>The</strong>y ran through their<br />

imaginary CV’s and I wondered who these jokers were. Telling me that they<br />

were CEO’s or managing directors, I might have been young and I did feel<br />

young amongst these dinosaurs but I wasn’t stupid.<br />

At half time I grabbed another Guinness and returned to my Tetris knock-off.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Masters of the Universe left me alone, thankfully. <strong>The</strong> second half was<br />

about to kick off and I needed to answer nature because when she comes calling<br />

you don’t want her to leave a message. I looked around but I couldn’t see a<br />

toilet. I got out of my seat and walked around the bar. Still nothing.
