World cup avoiders

[Spacehoppa]

Has anyone got any really good tips for things to do when you are watching a match like Cameroon v Algeria for the sake of family solidarity and you get maybe a teensy bit bored?

Er, sewing (mending), darning, ironing, cooking in the next door room but popping in occasionally, painting toe nails, and of course, mumsnetting. All of which are most of the time more interesting than the actual match, but allow you to look up when a goal is scored!
