  • I come on this site morning, noon and night. I haven't missed a day for months on end. How come I keep stumbling across threads with dozens of unread posts? I just don't see how I could have missed them.

    I have seen Brexiters claim that as we are an island we are not part of Europe anyway, and as such don't belong in the EU.

    Are you sure you ain't just made that up?
  • Ukrainian uses the Cyrillic alphabet, doesn't it? And referee will use the shirt number as reference. So why are the names on the shirt in the Latin alphabet?

    I've just realised the same thing applies to Russia, Greece, Serbia and Japan. Why only one alphabet used?

    I THINK they use a set letter and number template (like the prem/championship etc) for the tournament but qualifying you just use your kit suppliers template

  • Imagine the commentators trying to pronounce any of that. They struggle enough with the name Kross.

    No - I have seen stupid little memes that emphasise the point too Rob. A big arrow pointing at Britain with "This is our island" and another saying "THIS is Europe" - that kind of thing...

    That's deliberate to encourage people to drink real beer instead :wink:
  • When a club like Barcelona let their rivals (Man City) sign their Goalkeeper (Bravo) because they're signing another Goalkeeper (Cillessen) themselves

    Erm wouldnt it be better to ignore going for Bravo and try to sign Cillessen yourselves... Especially as I'm sure Barcelona feel they're strengthening themselves and are trying to weaken a rival?

    For a start, Barca are only signing Cillessen as back up as they want Ter Stegen to step up and replace Bravo, whereas City want a new first choice.

    Even if that wasn't the case, different managers rate players differently?

  • Irrespective of any religious belief (Adam and Eve and all that) basic biology tells you that he human species must have evolved originally from the procreation of a man and woman. In other words two people.

    Yet I have two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents etc doubling up the further I go back.

    When and how do I get to the original two?

    Hint: The Norwich Family song.

    Though if you believe in evolution (and in this day and age I'd be surprised if you didn't), then it wouldn't start with two people.
