....think of a good excuse to go home from work early today as I want to watch the football at 5.00. The more bizarre the better as I'm a shameless liar.

Here is the best excuse I have ever used to get out of work.
"I have to go to a reading of a will today." Nobody will question it and it is a bizarre once for sure.

Well that is a pretty good excuse already for you Brits !
You don't need any excuse ! It is national "strike" day to see your country win.

tell him you have your groceries delivered and the delivery guy has left them on the door step so he can get home for the match and the frozen goods and ice cream will melt and ruin if you don't go home immediately and get them in the freezer.

You have to go to the airport to pick up your mother/grandma/mother-in-law who is visiting from Canada. There's nothing you can do to get out of it. BUT you can make the time up on Monday.
