    The three meals you can eat each day are either breakfast, lunch and dinner, in that order; or breakfast, lunch and supper, in that order.

    Dinner is never served in the middle of the day.

    Yes is a drink not a meal. Although you can have sandwiches, biscuits, cake or bread and jam with tea.

    Fact.

    One word for you Chizz, brunch.
    If brunch is eaten instead of either breakfast or lunch, then it's breakfast, or it's lunch. If brunch is eaten as well as breakfast and lunch, then it's one of four (or more) meals that day. Which is both excessive and outside the parameters of the "names of the three meals a day" formula.

    This thread is so powerful it’s even killed the annual ‘when’s the new Kit being released’ thread.
    That is serious power.

    I don't like the new kit.
    I think the pin stripes are great and the red and black stripes on the away kit are the dogs bollocks. Not sure about the suffragette third kit
    Only you woukd think Pin stripes are great. 1970 wants their suits back.

    What about Linner? That’s always my favourite....

  • Just out of interest, are any of the ITKs on here claiming to get their information from more than one source? And I don't mean two people who heard it from the same bloke.

    If you're working class and from the midlands or north, you may well eat breakfast, dinner and tea, in that order.

    I'm now seriously concerned that, contrary to what I previously said, the Aussies may not have the funds to buy the club.

    Received a message wishing me luck for Friday's ProstateCancerUK ride to Amsterdam, but no sponsorship. Not a penny :-(

    I am beginning to think there is a lot of brinkmanship going on now. Two parties still interested ,one if not two in for EFL approval, but deal dragging on.
    Neither of them seem to be in a rush probably because they both have long term plans and the short term pain to Roland with next season planning and summer wages to pay leaves him in a difficult position.
    I have mentioned this before but I think his actions of playing one off against the other has done nothing but drive price lower and delay takeover.
    This EFL approval is also strange, put yourself in Roland's position, wouldn't you want that done when proof of funds was done,so as to not waste time and Lawyers fees only to find out your buyer didn't get approval?
    This is going to drag on for a while longer yet is my guess.
    I have not posted for a month because as far as I can see nothing has changed.
    Roland knocked back ages ago on Directors Loans by 3 Ex Directors, so we all know he can’t seperate Ground from Club unless he pays up a sum somewhere between £3mn and £7mn , which he has refused to do for a year.
    Aussies have agreed a price but dont have the full amount.
    British do exist I believe and had agreed a deal as far back as September with Roland but they want Directors Loans cleared.
    Murray and the other 3 Directors position on their Loans is unclear , does it rely on involvement.
    Only thing holding this up is the removal of those charges and Roland can do that any time he chooses, he knows the price I am sure.


    Since September on the basis of the club costing him £1M per month (9M accrued additional loss)

    You believe he had an agreed bid on the Table from a British Consortium but would not budge on settling the Ex Directors Loans which was their stipulation.

    Do you not find it strange 9M (ok he would not have known this delay duration at the time)against at most 7M not to complete an agreed deal versus the Aussie bid which couldn't have been concrete at that time or would not still be dragging on.

    Again something doesn't stack up. Surely a guaranteed bid on the table is always more desirable than one with variables as the Aussies bid has been.

    I just find it curious that RD has stated for sometime he wants out yet he doesn't take the offer that costs him less in the long run.

    Fucking hell, this thread is tiring.

    It's only just started.

  • 300 new posts today I believe it's a record.
    I'm firmly of the opinion that nothing is happening.
    Arguing among ourselves achieves nothing.
    Roland is the enemy not people who post on here.
    In the meantime.


    Just sell the club and FUCK OFF

    I think it was more of a class thing than south v north.

    I grew up in working class London and we called it Tea.
    So did I but we called it dinner.

    Pah, we called it evening meal, i.e. breakfast, lunch and evening meal :wink: .

    At school, it was always called dinner time for mid-day meal.
  • We had dinner tickets at my senior school and dinner time although the posh kids called this lunchtime.

    Well then you'd have to take a long, hard look at yourself.
