T-Mobile is falling down, falling down…

More World Cup woes, not this time from the accident prone BBC, but from mega-sponsor T-Mobile.

It is a great idea to erect huge screens for the fans to watch England progress across the land. However, when the fans turn up to see the one of Europe largest screens has collapsed in the winds, you can only expect a ton of abuse. You just have to watch the video courtesy of the equally hapless BBC. I can think of weeks of jokes around the famous German engineering skills. But, the best will be the football chants which are well known both for wit and vulgarity in equal measure.

I’ll start it off with a clean version of the old Nursery Rhyme “London Bridge is falling down”

T-Mobile is falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
T-Mobile is falling down,
Poor old Germans.
Built it up with subsidy,
subsidy, subsidy,
Built it up with subsidy,
Poor old Germans.
Subsidy will burn the cash,
burn the cash, burn the cash,
Subsidy will burn the cash,
Poor old Germans.
etc...

Keep Smiling - it is going to be a great World Cup
