Twenty two men kick a white ball across a pitch of green'ish grass. The ball goes one way and then another. A man falls down, and then another. One man is sent off for running into another man a little bit too hard. The spectators get very excited, irrespective of what is happening on the pitch and millions of men (and women) around the world talk utter gibberish whilst watching the whole encounter on the television.
Young people enter the bar and give away free cigarettes, comments are made about how strange this country is, people start discussing whether you should support one team just because they come from London and someone jokes about Elephant culling in Africa.
And whilst all this goes on, and whilst I slowly (very slowly) sip my beer, a whole number of songs run through my head bringing a smile to my face.
