  1. If nobody knows how the term 'derby' originated then surely it's acceptable to use it wherever you want? Anyway, there are some who argue that usage of English determines its meaning and not the other way round.
  2. Can we resurrect the thread from his first six months here?
  3. Fingers crossed it will be.
  4. Until the end of the season then.
  5. I blame the goalkeeper. And I have to say that the refereeing was extremely biased. Lots of imaginary fouls on Bournemouth.
  6. It would require a unanimous vote amongst all existing members. Any one can veto.
  7. I said on Saturday that they'd finish above us. I didn't think they would get there so quickly.
  8. Wrong setup at the start and we never got going after that.
  9. Let's hope nobody found any streams, for their sake.
  10. Only one team wanted that tonight. Woeful, dismal, dire how many words are there for crap?
  11. That refers to a CETA between Canada and the EU.
  12. Turkey will not be joining. There's one fact.
  13. Absolutely, I agree with you. You'd like to think that modern professional playing at the highest level would have this drilled into them instinctively. If you get a chance to see their first goal watch Forster and see how he stands there appealing that Costa has taken the ball over the lines stead of concentrating on the game. Fabregas's cross catches him on the hop.
  14. As I have sad many, many times, it is not Total Solar Irradiance that should be considered. The problem with the science is that there is none concerning the high-energy behaviour of the sun. Jasper Kirkby is still getting funding at CERN but the sun is not an easy subject since it tends to do whatever it wants. Where there is no science let's just ignore the biggest factor in the whole interrelated system, shall we? How do you explain the Little Ice Age during the Maunder Minimum? There are a lot of changes going on at the moment but the current science does not encompass the complete picture. Your view on any theories will depend on which of the climate religions you happen to be worshipping at the time. https://nextgrandminimum.wordpress.com/2016/01/30/cosmic-rays-in-earths-atmosphere-are-intensifying/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulhudson/entries/6d50a6bd-779a-32d6-bfca-06e4484d6835 http://www.livescience.com/51597-maunder-minimum-mini-ice-age.html
  15. It can sometimes happen if you sit awkwardly.
  16. Pilots get special dispensation.
  17. Then why does he continue to stand for election?
  18. It was very quick but it looked to me like a secondary kick-out at Cedric and not part of the so-called tackle.
  19. Doesn't that sort of go with the definition of 'come off'? As in, if they don't create a chance then they haven't come off.
  20. Not necessarily. If there's a business case for it then it's very sensible. If you followed your argument then a 10,000 seat stadium would be ample. How do you think Old Trafford ended up the size that it is?
  21. Derby v Forest has always been a derby though. Is that because one of the teams is called Derby? Also Sunderland v Newcastle, Norwich v Ipswich and many others `I can't be bothered to list.
  22. Ah but do they lag or do they lead? The problem with the science is that it is incomplete. At present it takes no account of the effects of the activity of the sun, and I'm not talking about total solar output but the effects of high-energy particles on the Earth's atmosphere. https://nextgrandminimum.wordpress.com/category/cosmic-rays/
  23. My pleasure! But please refer to the points made above by others about roadworks. Best not to leave it too late, I'd say. The trouble with that is the evening rush-hours traffic on the A31.
  24. And what does that make Farage? Wouldn't an OUT vote lead to him losing his job?
  25. I use 'linesman' (gender unspecific) when I know perfectly well that FIFA want us to call them assistant referees. It's a bit of a gobful though and a pain in the wrist to type, especially on a tablet.
