I know we're all desperate for news, but isn't that Tweet two weeks old?

Good point, there are rumours on Twitter tonight that OK is still part of his bid. This came onto my profile so didn't take note of the date.

He's not going to put that he has been trying to claw back as much money as possible is he.

Re: Ownership and twists : Thu Mar 20, 2014 9:54 pm  

I'm intrigued by this chap - what could he have possibly done to 'safeguard' our future?

See what I did there?

Language Timothy

are we sitting comfortably?


Back in the day when swearing wasn't as widely accepted as it is by this current generation, people would try to emphasise their displeasure by swearing, without actually swearing.

One of the ways to do this, was for example in the case of the phrase "fu**ing"
the phrase "fu**ing"was often replaced with "effing"......so "fu**ing hell" became "effing hell".

Efan (pronounced EFFAN) can be mistaken for Effing...especially if you are from south of Watford and the "g" becomes optional...as in effin'.

In the early 80;s their was a situation comedy called "Sorry" featuring British Comedic Stalwart, Ronnie Corbett as Timothy Lumsden, a 41 year old living at home with his parents. If ever this man used a phrase to express his frustration, his father would often mishear this and thinking his son had sworn, would say

'Language Timothy"

Along the lines of many British Situation Comedy programmes of that era, it was kept going for at least 2 seasons too many but this was to ensure that its star, Corbett, was contracted to the BBC and couldn't work for ITV.

So, Efan could be misheard as Effing (effin' in the south) and therefore heard as swearing, which to someone over the age of 30 would illicit a response of "Language Timothy"


I bet you are so effing glad you asked now

Yes I'm aware of the massively hilarious 'sorry'

Well done on your "gag"

Starting to get fed up now, first it was interesting then intriguing then I was looking forward to finding out who wins the polished turd of the SL now the admin and RFL are dragging it out (saying RFL as not doubt the ratification will take a week or 2 before we can sign player and what not).

It has to be sorted by the morning as we need a few players to join the team and we need a win vs KR on Sunday, if we do we are right back in it, and we could do with the owner having some balls to ask the RFL the possibility of 2 points back or even 1.

The tweet about Omar is an old one that someone retweeted as she has been told Omar is involved with him,

And with Marc Green I think by all the cryptic tweets that he has agreed with the administrator/new owner some sort of payment agreement of his debt to help the club out financially - just a thought

Got to agree with broadybull I am also fed up with this Administration and starting to look forward to the next one now.
