I'm assuming that a new ground in Mr Gibsons plans would also consist of a Hotel and Gym/Health club & also bring in extra revenue from securing the Arsenal Ladies team again.

 

That's just for starters.

Well he personally opened and manned the second York Road turnstile at 2.30 with a queue of 80 odd waiting on the single operative on whatever day it was that you, rather rashly, suggested that the paying customers should make an effort to get to games earlier, Robster.

 

The innermost workings of the Boardroom are one of life's mysteries to me, Rob, but I think you will find that the new "Gold/Platinum/whateverotherprecious metal" "Partners" of The Mighty Saints are avid readers of The Mail On Sunday.

 

We can all 'wonder' as much as we like, Rob. Alternatively, those who want to know can ask.

 

I wonder if the "meeting on a face-to-face basis" - as Webbo so poetically put it - has yet taken place.

Hi Hatboy.

 

Sorry mate, we were both on-line at the same time.

 

Right. A Hotel. Hmmnnn. As a money spinner for The Mighty Saints? That would probably cope with the conference facilities and wedding & barmitzvah trade, then. I wonder who would run it?

 

A gym/health centre? Along the lines of the one at Woollams?

 

Arsenal Ladies. Do you think that are unhappy at The Wooood, then?

A Face-to-face meeting! Quality!

 

 

[AFF]

You obviously missed the release on the Official web-site, Laz. It was a gem.

 

I did ask Webbo how else two people could 'meet' other than on a face-to-face basis, at the time, but he must have missed the posting. I suggested that two cocoa tins joined by a piece of string (held taut, of course, er, that's the string that must be held taut)), wouldn't really count as a 'meeting'.

[JKiF]

apologies for butting in but would the "taut" string have a little flag attached to it so that persons unkown or otherwise couldn't walk into it?

 

can't be too careful in these dangerous times...

 

 

as you were

[AFF]

Sometimes I wonder whether you take matters too lightly, JKiF.

 

One flag, or a number of flags is fine. But the string must be taut and in a straight line. The voices are muffled if the string is bent around the corner of a wall or some other interfering structure.

 

In any event, I don't think that two persons communicating via two cocoa tins constitutes a meeting. I remain of the view that a meeting can only be a meeting if it takes place on a face-to-face basis.

[Laz]

I wonder if the noun "meeting" is somehow related to the verb "to meet".

 

Any linguists out there?

 

JKIF is quite right regarding his flag!

You can never be too careful!
