[Panel 1]
[Nils]
The pub seemed emptier than
it's been the last couple
of weeks. Anything up?

[Elizabeth]
Well, the first
round of the World
Cup is over.

[Nils]
The what?

[Elizabeth]
A televised sporting
contest, m'lud.

[Panel 2]
[Nils]
Oh, do they still have them?

[Elizabeth]
Bread and circuses,
dear boy, and bread's
too expensive.

[Nils]
But anyway Bell doesn't
have a telly there.

[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
So every OTHER pub was full
of people wanting to watch
the games, so WE got…

[Nils]
Oh. Right. Refugees.

[Elizabeth]
That's why Bell had the folk
club in upstairs, to drown out

[Panel 4]
[Nils]

actually I don't think I could
come up with a reason.

[Elizabeth]

[Nils]

people buy more beer?
