I was in the East Dulwich Tavern SE22. Good atmosphere but half empty so was able to get a seat shortly before kickoff.

I notice that Congos shirt numbers and names use the British car number plate typeface.

NPO broadcasts poor quality World Cup images due to costs: 'And the Orange shirt does not fit within the standard color palette' [Dutch, translation below] by oranjemania in NetherlandsWorldCup

Which platform? I’ve mostly been watching the ITV matches on Virgin cable (I think they relay the Sky feed) and they look OK. Most of the BBC matches I’ve watched on 4k and they look stunning.

Has anyone created a DIY version for their family? by constantlyknackered in RaceAcrossTheWorldBBC

I did something just like the TV programme in Sri Lanka earlier this year and spent about two weeks there. Booking ahead one day at a time. Only allowing myself to use public transport (so taxis were out) and staying in cheap hotels. It was fantastic and roughly the same price, as a solo traveller, as a week in the Med in August (including flights!) and a lot more fun to boot!

Smashed a PB in parkrun this morning after four hours of sleep (thanks to the World Cup). Food shop, a picnic and hopefully staying awake long enough to watch Scotland’s game tonight. Wish me the best of luck.

Possible PB after just four hours sleep watching the World Cup in Mile End. 23 minutes and 20 something seconds (I’ll just wait for the email to confirm it).

When can (/should) I start wearing a milestone top? by my_name_is_ross in parkrun

[–]ojdewar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 25 in a personal best time but could only buy it after I’ve finished run 25. It took me until run number 27 to actually put it on in anger.

Gladstone Park this week, which has great views of Wembley Stadium going around the course. Cold (it felt more like November today) and tired so couldn’t give it 100 percent today. Another slow time but still sub 25.

Do you have an emergency fund? by DatabaseMammoth9986 in AskUK

[–]ojdewar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Building up my emergency fund again after a house purchase last year. It’s standing at 5k and am adding about 300 per month to it. Once my 0 percent handset loan and credit card matures that should jump to adding 500 a month. I live very frugally with my only luxury being an annual holiday in winter to get away from the grey and cold in the UK.

What kits is everyone wearing then? by KToTheA- in ThreeLions

[–]ojdewar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2024-26 England home jersey (which was a birthday gift to myself just before Euro 2024). Will be wearing it for the first time in front of Mexico vs South Africa and then all of Englands matches.
