World Cup 2010

Gary has been wondering why Paul is looking so agitated the past couple of days. Paul says it’s because he’s going to this important meeting in Brussels on behalf of the firm, yet Paul has been to many meetings. He’s an old hand in the role of “face of the company”, the perfect suit for shifting cheap laptops, and computers.
Gary can’t work out why Paul is looking so pressured - but the truth is smellier than a pan of three-week old sprouts.
Paul has been feverishly trying to get his hands on a World Cup ticket…and is using a company meeting as an excuse to go.
He’s looked high, he’s looked low, he’s tried everything possible, but it’s just not working. Getting his hands on one is as elusive as the thought of wanting to get your hands on a traffic warden. The thought is just too alien. The idea of getting hold of a ticket is just as far-fetched.
Paul’s ditched Giselle in favour of following England – but just hasn’t managed to get hold of that gold dust ticket. Actually, it was the other way round – Giselle dumped Paul because he tried to get her to give him hers. She’s going, because she’s doing job-exchange with a parking attendant in South Africa.
That annoyed Paul even more. No ticket, no girlfriend. Double whammy.
Paul has even got Alex helping him out. Together they have been trying to create a fake ticket on Windows Paint, but it’s just not working somehow.
Jan, like the good mum she is, has suggested he ring Terry Venables – but that’s only because she fancies him when he’s doing his Frank Sinatra impression in the TV advert, and thinks somehow Mr. Venables will give Paul a ticket in return for a date with her. (That’s what comes of being in the basement packing computers all day Jan!)
It’s not looking good for Paul – so if anyone out there can help, get in touch with him at Eflex Computers…otherwise he may find himself chasing wild geese in Belgium, when he would rather be blowing a bambazoola in Cape Town!
