A friend told me of a workmate, whose Nan who inherited over £7000 from her next door neighbour who she hardly ever spoke to. Apparantly he was really was a train spotter with no family or close friends. When he passed away he nominated several people (workmates, neighbours etc) but also gave to charities from his work life assurance scheme. He also gave to the National Train Museum in York, a Steam Enthusiasts magazine nd his Dad's bowls club. I always thought it had to go to your next of kin or at least a living person or a charity. It seems that you can nominate clubs. As no one ever knows their time is up, make sure that you get your family cared for. If you donlt have anyone, why not donate some to the Gas?. While this is a sensitive issue, surely the club must know some lawyers who deal with this sort of business and the club could get a deal done for discounted will service as long as the club receive a nominated donation? We have spent millions on lawyers, so hopefully they can help raise some future funds for the club? (And no I am not a solitior looking for extra work!) Hold on a doggone minute there Muskie! It is rather assumptive to think that everybody will have something positive to leave: May I leave you my debts to pay off?

Yes:
35,000 people with 1,000 each.
Look at it in figures, 35,000,000.
You have calculated it to be 10x that
I knew that, was just testing my fellow forumers......... Also the math is a side issue to the point in hand(holds hands up). For accuracy then, if 10,000 of us had 35k and we put it together, that could help the club more than winning next week. Since we'd have 3.5 billion. one time there would have been a difference depending on whether you were using a British billion or a US billion. A British billion was a million, million, i.e. 1,000,000,000,000 (12 noughts), whereas a US billion was "only" a thousand million (9 noughts), or 1,000,000,000. Nowadays the British government works with the US interpretation of a billion.
Sooooo,using your example; one would have, 35,000 people with 10,000 = 350,000,000 , so not a billion using either of the above interpretations I am afraid.

I wish you were my maths teacher
Am I wrong? Lol!!! Yes:

Ok, so I have got myself a 5 x 3ft Union Jack for Wembley, and I have found a shop that will print something on it for me. Now I just have to decide what to get on there?! I was thinking just 'Bristol Rovers', but that might be a bit boring. Any ideas? "Ad space open to offers."

Ok. I'm playing Antonio Faras upfront with Tbone. I liked Antonio's attitude, and I loved the lunch his agent treated me to. Spiess is in goal. I don't like mehew's attitude. I don't care if he starts a blog against me if he's not made captain. And he did, believe me. I'm also dropping Hugo the Elder. He's just approached me for a wage rise. That's not happening. I'm hoping to announce a major new loan signing in the next few days to replace Hugo "I want a Mercedes" The Elder. All I can say for now is that he's from Kingswood. And he's Polish. I assume you'll be looking for a natural to captain the side? It would be a bit of a rum do with you in the side Captain

A bit tired of all the Wembley threads, so let's do a football one. .........................Puddy....................... Leadbitter......Parkes......McC.......Brown Gosling......Mansell...Lines....Monkhouse .............Harrison........Taylor............... Mildenhall, Lockyer, Clarke, Balanta, Blissett Looks fairly balanced, and a nice bench. Only decisions really are Mildy v Puddy, and DC will play Puddy. Leadbitter v Lockyer, I think DC will go for Lockyer, but I nominate Leadbitter to take advantage of the fabled wide open spaces of Wembley. And Harrision v Blissett. I think we must be able to trust Harrison to do the job, right? I agree with this team but agree that DC will go for Lockyer.

Spot on! THAT is why, for instance, Holland and their fans stand out so much at games; their colours are unique; they are not everyday. Well, the difference for me is that the Holland fans wear Orange. And our fans will wear every colour available. Yes there will be a lot of blue and white but not exclusively. You only need to Google search football fans in blue or watch a rangers fans display or a selection of European blue teams to admit that we are too busy making excuses for ourselves here. Sorry? I do not understand the point you are trying to make?
You seem to be agreeing and disagreeing with my post at the same time?

Or simply a mass of Blu n White? Something we aren't very good at imo.-Compared to say the Dutch national fans or some other groups. The trouble with blue and white, is that people generally wear blue or white most of the time, in real life. So it's hard to capture people's imagination with the idea, or even hard to notice in any case. Unlike something unusual like orange or yellow, etc. Almost everyone will be wearing blue and/or white in our end, and it will look just like a bog-standard tennis/golf/bowls crowd. Spot on! THAT is why, for instance, Holland and their fans stand out so much at games; their colours are unique; they are not everyday.

Conference say 30k, Grimsby say 6k, and Rovers say 21.5k, something doesn't make sense... 2.5k Neutrals? Vanarama Day Out tickets?

I'm 30 and he's the best manager in my lifetime. Better than Ollie. I agree.
There is no doubting Ollie is a total Gashead but, in my opinion, he lacks man management skills. Yes, he can be motivational but that is only one aspect of management.
If he falls out with someone, that is their lot, He is loath to change his opinion, maybe for fear of admitting a mistake. Ellis Harrison would have definitely been out of the door if he had been in Ollie's charge last season. Stating the obvious, DC persevered with Ellis and has been rewarded.
After the last game of the 1996/7 season (we lost 1-2 at home to Rotherham ), the supporters' club had their annual presentation night at the Beeches ***. I was sitting outside as Ollie left. I opined that it was time for him to hang up his boots and concentrate on management. He strongly disagreed and said that I had seen what the players were like on that day and how they did not do the jobs they were supposed to, so he needed to be out there to put them right. In my opinion, a manager should be able to do that from the side lines. He lets his emotions get in the way too much.
*** Strewff! To show how long ago that was; Jamie Cureton got the Young Player of the Season award! I think I will change my user name to Fossilised Gas.

That is awesome! And to be honest, when he gave his interviews after the match, it was the first time I've seen him relax and be himself. "you've got a lot of preparation work now" - the BT Sport presenter. Darryl Clarke - "no, I'm off to the Bahamas for 2 weeks" - great response, great guy and my god, has he been through it... exactly what I was going to say. He is usually slightly curt, speaks really fast, and doesn't make eye contact in his interviews. First time I've ever seen him relaxed, joking, slowing down. AND i think that relaxation is really showing with the team. We are oozing class at the moment. fluid and loose, like a fluidy, loosy thing. What ground breaking use of vocabulary; no wonder you are a published author

For me it's a toss up between blue quarters on a white flag or white quarters on a blue flag? How about doing it in two halves? One half blue and white and the other white and blue.

Popeye. Wacky Races. Captain Pugwash.
Not cartoons, but puppet shows:
Supercar. Fireball XL5. Stingray Twizzle Torchy. Muffin the Mule Andy Pandy Woodentops Rag, Tag, and Bobtail Bill and Ben Four Feather Falls All those were considered high tech when I was a kid.
Aaahhhh: Those were the days.
