What would I give up for England winning the World Cup

After a discussion the answered seemed to be very little.

Having read that something like 65% of Welshmen would give up sex for a year if Wales were Rugby World Champions I have a think for a while about my options.

I think I could give up curry for 1 week, maybe crisps and chips for 2 weeks, I could probably give up kayaking for a year but I'd enjoy the laziness of it, other than that for a whole year there's pretty much nothing I like that could do without that long.  Possibly champagne if I could still drink goodish cava.  Internet? no, Burger King? no, Living like a king? No :(

Here's the problem - after a month or so I wouldn't think about the victory again, other than 6 nations time, but the year of losing something would be going on and what's life without BK?

A Philosophical Question

Here it is:

If you had 1000 giraffes, 1,000,000 lions, 1000,000,000,000 ducks and infinity shrews and they were fighting to the death, last species wins, who would win?  The battle ground would be a 2 kilometer cubed field, clouds at the top and 1 small 2cm deep 1 foot wide river.  The time limit would be 16,9999 hours.


An interesting side note, 10,000 of the ducks have no beaks.
