Oh I’m quite sure they’ll manage. I was just idly wondering where to whom I’d send a letter if I happened to be of a mind to write to the ECF collectively. As opposed to a matter that was clearly with the remit of a particularly director.

As in Henry Kissinger's "who [sic] do I call if I want to call Europe?"

... and no surprise that he should be from the same 4NCL team as John Foley and Chris Fegan!

Quis est lupus? Cuius de auribus loquimur?

Just thought I'd ask.

Well to be neutral about it all you could write to Gary Wilson

Although you might do better writing to Gary Willson.

Anybody uncertain of who to contact is welcome to write care of the Company Secretary.

For those of us who drink lager and not a small glass of red the rugby was won by New Zealand and Arsenal won as well.

Whoops! I had a sneaking suspicion that the spelling was a little unusual - I blame it on the prosecco (my mistake, that is, not the spelling). Sorry!.

For those of us who drink real beer and not the fizzy rubbish you call lager, the Manchester derby is tomorrow.

"Afraid of the dark, Lagerboy?"

"What's the matter Lagerboy, afraid you might taste something?"

I’m sure I put a "/" between 'where' and 'to'.

Dear Mike and Martin

The mere mortals who play chess have been ground down by weeks of argument and counter argument about the arbiter nexus etc. Now you are quoting Latin. Please bear with us while we catch up! I did have the privilege of studying a small amount of Latin. Written in the the text books was a quote

"Latin is a language as dead as dead can be
It killed the ancient Romans and now its killing me"

Your comments please gentlemen.

Alan

ps the last time I notice Mike agreed with Roger (in the other place) it was just before the other place crashed completely. Hope it is not an omen Carl!

Your comments please gentlemen.

Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit.

I rest my case.

It's an instinctive thing, Alan. Let it be!

Martin advised me (amongst others) that some of us, in our chat about Greek ancients and their parallels with modern equivalents 'did us no favours'. He was undoubtedly quite correct. Maybe he has fallen into the same trap. But hey! Let it be! Other people talk about the intricacies of the West Ham football team, which appears to have a sacred standing within the ECF, but leaves me cold. Let it be!

My words of wisdom (falling, you might notice, into the very same trap that is highlighted here).
