Does the 10year old understand that 0.5 = 5/10 ? Because if so , it is a fairy easy step to 0.75 = 75/100, and it easy to demonstrate that 75/100 = 3/4, even if you have to resort to drawing a square 10by 10 and colouring in 75 of them.

They wouldn't like you to speak German in the Netherlands anyway. You'd be better off sticking to English there, even if Dutch and German do have many similarities. i've known Dutch who themselves jokingly call Holland 'germany lite', but woe betide any foreigner who does the same. If you're wanting a language that is spoken by the maximum number of people around the world, then of course yes chinese or spanish are the ones. However , remember there are two distinct forms of chinese ..mandarin and cantonese .. and maybe more signficantly it is diffcult to find lessons or courses in either in the UK. Hardly anyone takes A level for example, except native speakers from immigrant families. Whereas spanish is taught relatively widely.

I'm impressed there are still 10 different people posting on POL. After all of Frattoniser's culls, that must be about the full list surely?

Lol

Have been wondering the same thing. The league has a history of applying deducions when they most hurt, regardless, but they've been so soft on portsmouth so far in comparison to what they did to Luton and others (even bournemouth), that -- who knows?

He also made a complete arse of himself over the Falklands

Is PFC a yogurt brand now? "If this juicy idea gets squashed then the Trust apparently has other flavourable options available"

Was that Sam Simpleton?

will we get updates on his sandwiches do you think?

Much the same as the trust then!

He can't. Though he could go to the (different) court and claim as a creditor that PKF are failing in their duties as administrators, and ask for a different one to be appointed, giving Guilfoyle as an example of "one I've prepared earlier". At the moment he appears to be simply followong the Goebbels approach to p.r., in the same way as the trust have. By 'eck it's fun though, ain't it fellow nutjobs?

Look, the people in the Big Bang Theory episode, "the lunar excitation", bounced a laser off the reflector the US left on the Moon. What more proof do you want? You'll be telling me next that the Big Bang Theory is made up too!

That'll be the ones who are still alive presumably?

Definitely correct. In the early days of all-seaters, some clubs just bolted seats on to old terracing to meet the requirement. The view was terrible, because the slope was too shallow. The end opposite the supermarket at the old bolton ground was a good (bad) example if anyone remembers that. Fixed 'bucket' seats, not even tip-up seats, on very shallow terracing.

I was struck by the the FL condition that the trust can't take over "till they have raised the money from supporters that is in their business plan". This is worthy of a small cheer it seems to me So, dream scenario, they win the court case, but still can't take over till they've got as much pledge money in as they claimed they would. (Anyone remember what figure they gave in the plan?) That could take quite a while ... maybe till past the January transfer window? (if ever!) It's the gift that keeps on giving.

So actually, Adam was the member of the squad who didn't go to hospital! Ironic. Mind you, it looks as if several of those players have been photoshopped anywayl Look at Jos for example on the left. The whole thing's a plot I tell you

I always assumed that was the nickname his cockney mates gave him.

Suicide rate in Norway 11.9 per 100,000 people. Rate in UK, 6.9 per 100,000. Interesting indication of 'happiness' !

This .. and where it gets mesy is that the trust is using a property developer to buy the ground, whose motive is to ...err .... redevelop the site to make a profit

A hint of sadism!? --- how dare you !

Anyone know much about the procedure on the 12th? Is there any possibility that the judge will suspend the hearing to seek independent expert advice on the valuation? Or is it certain that there will be a decision there and then? My dream outcome = delay till just after the january window closes, then a takeover of sorts but with only a minority share-holding from the trust of say 30% of the club as such , and the property developer owning the ground. Folowed by -10 points , relegation, total demoralisation and no chance of ever owning or improving Fratton Park.

That's probably true IF they are a successful L2 side. I reckon if they were at the top of L2 they might occasionally even break the 10,000 barrier. Massive club!

I thought maybe we could change the shape of the woodwork? So the ball is deflected in ? Of course the ref may object to us changing the posts over to the other end at half time, but if it is the bloke we had yesterday, he probably won't notice.

If those really are their genuine names, that must count as some form of child abuse, surely?
