Why CAFC have the oxymoronic 'pre-match review'.Why not just match preview?5

What the difference is between pressing C or CE on a calculator. I usually just smash both of them like 6 times just to make sure all the data is clear before I input a new problem.
7 -
C is clear (as in the whole calculation)
CE is clear entry (so just the last figure entered)
They can be confusing though as some calculators have C and AC
in that instance C does the opposite and clears just the final entry as AC is then the (all clear) option.2 -
Indeed. And the thing they refer to is a preview of a thing yet to happen, not a review of a thing that has happened.MrOneLung said:
Well the former is things that have happened and the latter is about things in the futureIdleHans said:Why CAFC have the oxymoronic 'pre-match review'.Why not just match preview?2 -
watching ITV 2 and they have the film 'Knocked up' on. yeah pretty sad but anyway...
There's a scene where they are all sitting down for breakfast.
Their breakfast consists of pancakes, cream, strawberry's and fried bacon. wtf is that about? I might write in and complain to ITV about this as its a hell of a lot more offensive than their commentary of our game last night.0 -
Why is there no apostrophe in St. Albans?

It is possessive. Alban was a saint who the ‘area’ was named after. Hence the ‘St’ bit.2

So it is. And now I found the real answer:JaShea99 said:It is possessive. Alban was a saint who the ‘area’ was named after. Hence the ‘St’ bit.
The apostrophe in St Alban's (used by Shakespeare, for example) was lost in 1877 when a parliamentary draftsman omitted it from the Bill to elevate the town to city status. No one seems to have spotted the omission, and once the Act became law the apostrophe had been abolished by statute.

So, what exactly is the distance between St Albans and Boreham Wood, 6 miles, 7 miles, 9 miles? There seemed to be some confusion between the commentators tonight.0

Almost all breakfast places will serve pancakes with the main breakfast. It is odd, but really bloody delicious.
Especially when accompanied by a vessel of maple syrup.1 -
KFC advert where they are pouring gravy over a chicken burger, wtf is that all about.1

Sorry, just seen this. I used the car wash at the supermarket and time I pulled out she was walking down the road. I did try and take a photo, but just got a blur of green from the trees.ValleyGary said:
I need a picture to accompany this.Gribbo said:How the swampi girl, begging / busking outside the supermarket not only got hold of a raven and dalmatian (looks pedigree), but a sulphur crested cockatoo.
Will keep my eye out for her though0 - Sponsored links:

How to pronounce the word 'foray'.
I'd emphasise the first syllable but I notice people often seem to stress the second and lengthen it a bit, including @JiMMy 85 who uses it quite a lot in those little films he puts out on a Sunday evening. Which is what has prompted me to post this.
So FORay, or forAY? Or is either correct?

When I was at school the USSR (ie Russia and other surrounding countries) was in the continent of Asia.
Yet all the news reports on the Ukraine business refer to war in Europe rather than Asia.0 -
There's a statue in Russia which identifies the dividing line between Europe and Asia. It's in the middle of nowhere.
Bald and Bankrupt went to visit it (fantastic Youtube channel)0
