I think typo is in the dictionary in its own right. A bbreviation certainly is.

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

[pedant mode]I think it's terrible, they're even dumming down dictionaries now! It's bad enough that you can't even play scrabble and sneer at people for trying to use things like 'telly', these days. [iApparently [/i 'telly' is a "word" now. World's gone to pot I tell you, gone to pot.[/pedant mode]

I'm putting that one down to equipment malfunction. Ever since I got this new computer and keyboard I haven't got used to the fact that the relationship between the time the shift key is depressed and pressing the letter is different. I think I've had to go back and reinstate correct capitalisation at the beginning of most sentences for the last three months. I guess a monkey would have got used to it by now but I'm struggling....Anyway, I clearly missed Scrabble, I hope it didn't stop me getting a triple word score...
While we're at it, another thing I don't like is the way my supposedly English dictionary insists on wanting to put unwanted Zs into words like capitalisation. Definitely not my 'flavor' of the month.

| I find this amazing, someone gives you something to consider and all, bar one who is not a Bulls fan, just mess about making fun out one small spelling mistake.
Ah well, have it your own whey. See I've even given you another spelling error to rip the p*** out of.
Pugwash.

You are totally missing the poiint, though.
We have had many weeks now of all this, and everyone is pretty well numbed to most it all now. In particular, we have had any number of vistors from other clubs - some of them even well-meaning, as you clearly are - telling is what we as supporters should be doing. Most of the advice has been impracticable or inappropriate in the present circumstances for a range of reasons but especially because of the pretty unique circumstances we found ourselves in with shareholders at war and one finally managing to win another to his side and stage a coup. To be honest, having a laugh is one of the few options left to us if we are to stay sane and rational - after all, some of the current protaganists have been having a laugh at our expense for some time now.
I guess the alternative is to get so stressed that you start thinking about helping a few of the bad guys to go down with a bad case of head kicked in. However, I understand the local constabulary does not look upon such acts with a favourable eye, and so maybe they are best avoided.
Incidentally, we already have an established supporters' trust. And we already know what would need to be done and how to do it (and the amount of work involved and the need for people who are both preapared and able to make the hard yards, out of the public eye and long after the high of publicity has gone). Same as we determined some time ago that there was little the fans could do as things stood, and especially in the middle of a crisis. Should the club exit SL and there be the appetite for it still to survive in some form, then IMO it is likely that that would be a route to be followed. But we are not at that stage right now.
And without a wealthy backer, even if the club could survive outside of SL, IMO it could not be at Odsal, and there would not be a cat in Hell's chance of ever getting back into SL. Ever.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Its like we've been pointing out for some time, outside SL nobody is interested in ' financing ' you , which is what makes it so annoying when fans of SL clubs tell us, when you do this that and the other , and get some ' investement ' you will get your chance in SL
It just wont happen, ever
