Lots of words have evolved their popular meanings though. I used to be such a gay fellow. Not now though which is queer. And whilst I tend to agree with you, the same peepul ar not riting evry wurd phonetikly. Just "a", which makes me think its a "thing".

PapaShango Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Do we know if his visa was approved yesterday and if he is arriving today? Excited by this signing, is exactly the type of player we need, someone who can inject a bit of excitement at the top end of the pitch and get bums off seats. Heard he is on astronomical wages at City, obviously we are only picking up a fraction of this but they must rate him pretty highly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamhammer Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Be written off by the JKB massive by 5pm Saturday if he plays. Like a few others I’m looking forward to seeing this fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewiseone Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Imagine Man City paying astronomical amounts of money for this talent and them, then loaning him out to us and our band of creative football gurus. End of September- faded after an initial promising start of 3 games. 3goals- put down to "adapting" End of October- not scored in his last 3 appearances, ended month on the bench End of November- niggling tight Achilles problem meant reduced game time and some substitute appearances, returned to the Etihad for treatment December- my money is on a hamstring tear and out for 3 months. Just in time for the winter window hope our East Asia scouts are hot on the case of the next Tokyo genius. They must need their heads examined the football world is nuts. Think the only way he'll see the Derby at Christmas is from his hospital bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that with an Edinburgh accent, the first person singular pronoun can sound a little bit like the first letter of the alphabet. But why do people have to write it like that ? Its a completely different word, meaning something completely different. i know, I know, language evolves. I just wish it would evolve a bit more slowly. 20 hours ago, jonnothejambo said: Language should never evolve to the extent that it changes the meanings of words and the context of what the person is trying to say.

Depends what time his flight arrives. I fly back and forward to Japan all the time and if my flight gets in during the evening in Edinburgh, I recover a lot quicker.

Hagar the Horrible Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 When is this guy going to be at Tynecastle with a scarf over his head, or at least tied around it???? For me he is a certain start, he has not trained for a few weeks, had to jet of back to Japan for a visa and to get married, had a honeymoon! Go through the rigmarole of jetting back to the UK, setting up digs with said new missus? he will be knackered. but because he has not trained on our state of the art training facilities, or had football drummed into him in the CL doctrine, he will be our fittest player as no injuries will be offered to him yet? and drift over the half way line as he wont have been coached by the Yoko Ono of football? He will get praised right up to his first pass back to the keeper from the halfway line. Sorry got caught up in a needless rant, when the fishul unveiling????

As it would be a with KLM he could’ve then got on the flight arriving at 16:45 but that would’ve been a push. IF he’s arriving today and IF he’s on that route then the next KLM flight into Edinburgh from Amsterdam arrives 21:35. 👀 (Of course he could be flying into Manchester first for all we know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
