In advance of this evening's England-Portgual doo-dah, one of the football fans in our office has just been trying to explain the offside rule to The Other Gay One.
(Confirmation, if any were needed, that we're now approaching that biennial tipping point where even habitual footie-phobes start taking an interest.)
So why do people always start by saying It's really simple, actually? NO, IT'S NOT, actually. The Other Gay One merely ended up rolling his eyes at me in bemusement, as we exchanged giggly shrugs across the cubicles.
I'm starting to suspect that in reality, The Offside Rule is one gigantic Mornington Crescent-style conspiracy of confusion, perpetuated by Ver Straights at the expense of Ver Poofs. You're all avvin a LARF, arntcha?
