Today across England there will be hoards of tired people, many with hangovers after last night’s FIFA football match in which we well and truly beat Mexico on their home turf, 3 goals to 2.
Due to time differences, kick off took place at 2 in the morning UK time, and ended after 4! Pubs and bars were given permission to remain open until 5am.
As my brain’s still sleepy, this is the best I can come up with!

I popped into the sports shop to by a new football. I found one I liked and decided to buy it even though at £10 is was a bit pricey.
The assistant offered to pump it up for me and then asked me for £15.
I said I thought it was supposed to be a tenner, he just shrugged and said, ‘inflation’.

Mooaan! Clever pun, though.
I deserved that! Thanks, Christine.
Congratulations to England 🏴
We will meet you on Saturday.
Ro,Ro,Ro ⚽️ Heia Norge 🇳🇴
Can hardly wait, Maggie!
Great use of pun
Thanks, Geeta!
Congratulations to the UK team. Yay!
Wonderful write, Keith, and I ‘love the price of inflation… says no one except after reading your excellent tale. Cheers.
Yay, roll on Saturday!
Fictional inflation’s not as bad as the real thing!
True! Good point, Keith.
funny! and congrats –
Thanks…and thanks, Bethh!
LOL. The game came on here at 9 pm. I was exhausted from all the cooking and left my house guests to watch on their own. Now, I wish had stayed up. Sounds like it was quite exciting.
I’m not a footie fan, but even I found it exciting!
I’m groaning here Keith. Didn’t watch the game, no TV, so won’t be watching anything anyway.
Thanks for the groan, Di!
😀
What a game. I watched it with my son, grandson and granddaughter. We were tense and on the edge of our seat all night. You have quite the mind for jokes.
Indeed, me too! Thanks so much.
I haven’t seen a single game because of the time difference 😔.
But I’m reading the news about them.
At least you know what’s going on!
Clever! There’s always a “catch,” isn’t there.
So true, Mimi!
Congrats to England. That was quite a win!!!!
It was – I was not expecting it!
Good one, Keith! ⚽ Will this be the right time for England? What’s 60 years anyway… we remember that don’t we?
We certainly do. It’s about time!
Congratulations on winning against Mexico Keith. I loved your clever twist on the inflation. Thanks for joining in.
Thanks, Sadje – Norway next!
Cool. 😎
give ‘im credit for the pun, but a bit steep on a cover charge for the comedy routine
A bit too steep! Let’s hope it doesn’t get a pun-cture!
OOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! You are the clever one!
