Yeah, but lots are worrying about temps perdu at the moment.. It would be nice to celebrate a signing this week though...

Approximate translation: "Osvaldo has said yes to Inter. There has been contacts even during the last few hours, the striker having for some time broken (his relationship) with Southampton, wants to return to Italy and also to forget his sidelining at Juve. Mazzari likes him a lot and had wanted him at Napoli if he hadn't at the time been so restricted in his ability to manoeuver [financially]. The contacts have arrived at this result: the striker saying yes, with the position of finishing the loan with a release fee. The situation could change only if Juve, following important transfer business also had the funds to invest in the striker. But Mazzari likes Osvaldo so it's just a question of waiting for the next moves." No mention of the fee for Saints in there: is the Juve loan an ongoing thing? Boh.

I'd also add being robbed by JWP a couple of times in the St. Mary's game (I think it was).

If we're going to sing Beatles songs how about: We'll all laugh when you're sitting on the bench, sitting on the bench, sitting on the bench, We'll all laugh when you're sitting on the bench, sitting on the bench, sitting on the bench. And the ref begins the play, You're just there, for the pay We know it's money that you hunt, As you give the ball a punt.. We all etc. To a well known air... Other words may be possible but I was well drug up..

absinthees?

"Hamster"? "Suppository"? No way am I clicking on them!

Hmm, I was rather hoping to get 'CB Fry' and 'nasty' trending...

Christ, so he doesn't spout ignorant twaddlle only on the football threads then?

A lump hammer?

He's with the squad on the pre-season tour, so at least RK will get to have a good look at him.

What a horrible thought! Particularly their new third kit.

My systems analysis days are long over, but yes, it seems you do lose the font effect in mediacrush, but it comes back immediately if you click on the MC screen again. You have to click within the boundaries of the text, and not on the white margins outside.. PS: Fred?! Pell??

I must go and reread the Data Protection Act. Perhaps Steve can give us his understanding of his responsibilities.

Kewl! Looks OK so far on FF30.0.. Had to specify the domain for pop-ups, so if I get any nasties...!;-)

Perhaps they'll sign David Luiz...

Ta for that. At least we don't have to pay him if he doesn't fulfill his contract. What a waste of a talent.

Ooh, get you! Are you saying that all Saints supporters are poor? On a more serious note, I don't think HNW individuals like being cold called anymore (probably less) than us poor oiks.

Thanks for that. Actually it might be interesting to do an implementation of both, as a comparison, and to highlight stress patterns and weak and strong syllables etc.. I'll try and get a few up before the British Council inspection... :-)

I'd forgotten that Osvaldo is still on our books. Have I missed any news on him: have we crystalized our losses yet?!

Ta! The start of summer school is a bit hectic (25 contact + paperwork aaargh!) but I'll take a look in a week or so.

Well, there are some grounds for satisfaction then! It's a pity Portsmouth aren't worth bothering about any more, but West Ham will do. I'd prefer Spurs though: hope springs eternal..

I saw the title of the thread (only just noticed..) and thought: "You never have a couple of guinea pigs - only one or many..". Then I thought 'Oh crikey, it's the muppet show, gaffer tape will be involved'... In fact, although I don't use twitter I thought this a clever idea, the thread made me laugh and it's a very good way of representing information. Is the graphic software available separately: I can see possibilities for English language teaching?

Is that a typo for anomalously? Seems an appropriate word!

Has this been published on the board; sorry if I've missed it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28172460 Bo***cks.
