Not been discussed at work so dont think we are allowed to watch it, whether I will or not is another thing 😉
Got the projector set up pointing at a wall so everyone can see it from their desks.
Just like we do for TdF, Olympics, World Cup etc 🙂
Watching TV at work?
Must be the private sector.
Who is streaming in live? Got a work PC that blocks various stuff though so will need to be somewhere reputable

So for "internationalism" they are watching two British teams play...My kids school have worked up a good wheeze. In support of their subjects of "internationalism" and national sports this term, the school will be watching the match this afternoon.Well played Mr Williams, well played.
I believe my son's class watched some of a match earlier this week in a business class under the rouse that they were to study the advertising and logos around the ground!
No, thank god
I don't like football particularly, but it's being shown here, I can work through it and leave early. Surely that's a good thing...?
Going on the massive video wall. Pre scheduled the England games some time back, and a few requests from short term assigments for theirs....
Friends of mine were heavily involved in Icelandic grass roots football (actually I think the wife might have played at high level there), they are practically useless with excitement now!
"Oh, are Team GB playing in the Eurovision Sportsball Championships?" was my reply.
Your students think you are a knob. HTH.
Your so cool
You're, not your.

They knew that anyway.
I'm English and have lived in England most of my life... but parents gave me a Welsh name (I'm still working on granting forgiveness for this cruel act) and I spent a few years in Wales in my youth so can just about still speak the language (thankfully no accent!) This makes any build up to an England Wales clash (be it rugby or football, sports that I would otherwise enjoy) an utterly tedious affair of hilarious banter in the presence of English colleagues in who's eyes I'm Welsh and there's nothing I can do to persuade them otherwise 🙁
TBH I think I could come into work wearing an England shirt, with a St George painted on my face, while windmilling my way through a bunch of foreigners, and I'd still be considered Welsh.
Yup, a firm-wide email went around yesterday saying that it will be shown in the atrium for all to watch, workloads permitting (ha, the fools)I have restructured my workload accordingly.
If I can figure out how to unblock the video stream's in a Watchguard firewall then my colleagues will be watching it ( the web pages load at the moment but the video stream doesn't )

I do hope you did a little jump of glee when you punted out that witticism.

Of course I did, I'm an uncool knob.
We're allowed to watch it in the canteen/kitchen area. There's a not very well positioned 40" flatscreen, but there was talk of setting up 'something more suitable' if enough people say they want to watch it.
They've also moved our Friday 'wellness lunch' (free, provided lunch every Friday) to today.
We get an extra 30 mins for lunch (to watch the match) but have to make up time if we want to watch the second half....I'm gonna play it by ear, depending on how good the first half is.
The bawbaggery is strong in this one! 😆miketually - Member
My students asked me earlier in the week if I'd let them watch the match."Oh, are Team GB playing in the Eurovision Sportsball Championships?" was my reply. They'll not be watching it.
I suspect that attendance won't be great.
Self employed and recovering from the hard riding, ooh footy is on soon you say?
Saying that it makes op fur 7 days a week 0630- 2300 for 6 years.
Sunlight? It burns like holy water!
Come on Ingurlund!
I don't get it. Why should anyone be watching TV at work? What's so special about football?
Wanna watch TV? Fine. But why should you be a) paid for it, or b) expecting someone else to do more work whilst you do sod all?

To piss you off.
We're in a Serviced Office, so have lots of other businesses here......one of them RUSSIAN! 😯
So....once we've taken adavantage of the free beers and nibbles in the Residents Lounge and watched the footie, we can rampage through the office and beat shite outta the Ruski's! 😀

My boss is an utter and complete ****, but he has given me the afternoon off to drink beer and shout abuse at the telly
The joys of being self-employed 😀

National event innit. Camaraderie with your fellow man etc
Don't you like football, PP?
😆
I've got my own office with a flat screen on the wall that is technically meant for presentations but just so happens to have a freeview box attached.
Sometimes it's nice being the boss 8)
They told us last week that 50% are being made redundant so productivity is so far down this week watching the match in the canteen wouldn't make a dent in said productivity. Were allowed at 'managers discretion' though he took that as 'allowing manager to live' and said yes.
Yes we have it projected on a wall and on various screens around the floor, and that's in Scotchland.
Most of the football enthusiasts here have booked the afternoon off and either gone home or to the pub.
There are only two of us in on my floor, and he hates football as well, so football free here!
I might ring around my staff now and give them 2 hours off to watch football, what's the worse that could happen?
To be honest you only need to give them an hour now.
Oh have they missed it?
Ah well never mind.
Because not everyone on this earth is a cockbag.
Just the ones doing nothing then?
Take time off then PP?
I gave my lads the afternoon off .
1 had booked the day off as holiday anyway, the other 2 had dome just enough so i sent them home at 1.45 on strict instructions of ' no drinking' and making up the hours on Fri.
Me and another lad finished a few things off and got home in time for the second half.
