    So, I was wondering if you guys could help me.

    At work, we have been assigned a country for the World Cup and we have to decorate our desks in items related to said country.

    My team have been given Germany.

    Do any of you have suggestions as to what we could do to decorate our desks? Relatively cheap suggestions would be ideal as it's coming out of my own pocket!

    Swastikas???

    At one workplace we did this for the 2006 WC. My team had Mexico. We found some red, green and white streamers and stapled them between the desks. We had 8 computer desks in an octagon. Then went to a few pound shops to pick up plastic cactus, sombrero etc. Had cut outs of Speedy Gonzales, both Mexico's strips and the flag. Crowning glory was the empty bottle of tequila on the platform where all 8 desks met.

    Holland - nice bit of cheese then you can eat it afterwards!

    What happens if you don't like football, can you not take part as a conscientious objector?

    No reason to object.. I think the World Cup and Olympics are two events that go beyond sport. I don't understand why people feel they can't join in some of the fun just because they don't like the actual sport.

    Why don't you move all your stuff onto Poland's desk and start working there too? :D
    Apparently, if you lose one sense, others senses are enhanced. That's why those who have no sense of humour have an enlarged sense of self-importance.
