Bill Shankly said football was much more important than life and death

Seriously? Football? Oh for goodness sake! Although my DGSs might be inclined to agree.

They certainly think so in Qatar where so many people of Nepal who are working on the new football stadium, have been refused permission to go back to their loved ones funeral's. I have always wondered as to how the decision to stage the World Cup in Qatar was made and why. -

Thanks Soutra - 2nd cup of coffee and brain awakening dog walk needed here. I've just read GT's QS thread - what larks.

I asked DH what would happen if FIFA wasn't there- he couldn't answer me.

Queen's Speech

Granny Twice - I may be being dim but what is Q** S*** ?

More interesting that incessant politics to me too!

Go on HQ - I dare you!
