In which case 80th of 92! -
What an odd argument. I suppose next you will be saying that Swansea City are 2nd of 92. Sorry but I won't believe it.Originally posted by cloughie View PostComment

Or the mighty Owls are 22nd out of 92 and should they be there come May, they will then become 19th out of 92.Originally posted by Lateralthinking1 View PostComment

A tweet from Gary Lineker at the weekend: “Proper Sunday, football, roast for lunch, bottle of Lynch Bages ’86 and more football.”
The average price of a bottle of ch Lynch Bages 1986 is about £136. Can be a fair bit more, unlikely to be a great deal less.Comment

I am pleased to say that I had never heard of Chateau Lynch Bages. Lineker has not been the same since marrying Ms Buxom.
There was a time when players were selfless, courageous, and married to someone called Marjorie. The following article from 2000 is a museum piece. It was the last one ever to be written about a footballer that included the line "money meant little to him".

Is unawareness of something something to be 'pleased' about?

Yes definitely. A little knowledge is a spice but too much of it detracts from the pleasure of what is being consumed.Originally posted by vinteuil View Post... why "pleased"?

Knowing something is a lake is helpful for identification and hence enhancing. Becoming aware that it is a kettle lake is to conspire with man's imperialism to the extent that its natural aesthetic quality is removed. In essence, a lake isn't a human label.
To maximise enjoyment, everything must be in its place too. To partake of a mug of tea and a meat and potato pie on the terraces is to be devout. Being a presenter of a football programme who drinks Chateau Lynch Bages is the same as being someone who attends church every week especially to swear during the sermon. This would also very much be true of the football supporter.
Plus there is a point about economic value. I find it satisfying seeing rings being sold on the shopping channel for £900, knowing that I wouldn't give tuppence for any of them. It helps me to know that I am closer to reality than many. That's valuable.Last edited by Guest; 28-08-12, 18:34.Comment
