How??
am I going to watch - or even listen - to Saturday's final? I'm staying in a farmhouse owned by some friends in a tiny village in rural France - I think the population is something like 160 people. The house doesn't have TV connection or computer connection or wi-fi nearby.
I've been searching to find if there is digital TV coverage in that area (Angouleme) because if so I have a digital TV received I can connect through my husband's laptop. Otherwise I have a small radio which receives BBC World Service, and apparently there is a portable transistor radio in the house although it may not work!
I suppose the local village bar may show the final - but we won't arrive until early evening anyway.
AAARGH!

Get a French rugby shirt. It will hurt but you can do it. Make sure it is tight and undo all available buttons. Wear shirt, loiter in village bar, gently sobbing.
Say things like "damn ze engleesh swines"
Someone will aproach you and console you on your loss. You say that the only way you will be happy is to watch SA beat les onglays good and proper. Someone will invite you to their gaffe. Take a bottle of Remy. Bang tham over the head with it once they have sorted the correct channel.
Job done.

If it makes you feel any better, for the 2003 final, we'd booked a family outing to watch Disney on Ice at Earls Court. Looking at the fixtures before the tournament started, I couldn't see England making the final so booked.........
...luckily I did get to see the 1st half, and listened to the 2nd half and extra time on my portable radio on the underground and walking to the venue !!

B) plot: get a Springboks shirt, and go to the bar speaking english with strong Afrikaans accent. I think it would sound as "Gut Efening, shall ich watch daz finale pliz?". Tell them Zuidafrikans will revenge France, and how many you are sad for French people, because France was worth for the final, not England...cornish tigress wrote:Get a French rugby shirt.
