Today's dilemmas:


1. Where to watch Ireland v Saudi Arabia at 12.30pm tomorrow?
Option A: At home, alone.
Option B: At home, with other people. But anyone vaguely interested will be at work. Scrap that one.
Option C: At O'Neill's in Moseley. A fine atmosphere, to be sure, but will there be any space after about 10am? Could I cope with it on my own?
Option D: At Patrick Kavanagh's pub in Moseley. See above.
Option E: At any one of the many other Irish pubs in this fair city. See above.
Option F: Decide really late on that Option C or D would be a good idea, walk up to Moseley, find that all pubs are full, walk back home again, in time to catch second half of match only.

2. Where to watch England v Nigeria on Wednesday at 7.30am?
Option A: At home, on my own, in dressing gown.
Option B: Invite a friend or two round tomorrow night, get up with them and watch it in a more communal atmosphere. Provide breakfast.
Option C: Get up really early and go to pub. But which one? Oh, forget that option. I'll never manage it.
Option D: (the 'nightmare' scenario): Go to bed tomorrow night, forgetting to set the alarm. Miss the match, find out result from Ceefax.
