Monday morning... no work today... other than all the household chores that have been ignored over the last 12 months and which my wife has kindly listed on a whiteboard in the kitchen. Identity & Access Management will take a backseat for a few days!

FIFA World Cup Predictor Game
Well... the enthusiasm has returned and the World Cup Predictor Game is now "live" on my website at https://www.stephen-swann.co.uk/games.
The game costs nothing to enter; I will provide a bottle of something bubbly to whomever is the most accurate at guessing the results over the course of the competition and maybe there will be some fun to be had. Who knows. Then again, maybe everyone else will be lacking enthusiasm in which case I shall drink the Champagne myself.
That said, I hope you will join. There's nothing to lose after all!
