2 naive predictions

<laugh> your stadium will be full of **** the moment it fills up with your fans. So I’ve won that one.

I’ll get the thread up to choose kipper’s avatar later.

Makes your stadium look so outdated...bet that hurts a bit
 
Exactly...I doubt he cares about Peppa pig when he knows Poppa got Pussy lined up for him

So his first experience will be with a brass ! Can’t you get one of your hoes to break his duck or do you pay for them as well
 
Yeah my boy loved it too, will probably take him again this year when the weather gets better.

When the girls were little we took them to legoland...what a pointless ****hole

I think the goons have a magical stadium...how many others are full when 25% of the seats are empty? :bandit:

Either is acceptable, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

Second rule of wummery: do some basic research before jumping into the wum-pool.

Please, don’t thank me.

Learnt and learned are both used as the past participle and past tense of the verb to learn. Learned is the generally accepted spelling in the United States and Canada, while the rest of the English-speaking world seems to prefer learnt.

So as you ain’t a septic Hiag you should be using learnt.

no need to thank me, but you do need to learn to look before you leap

you are most welcome

To be fair to HIAG, it says the rest of the English-speaking world prefers to use 'learnt'. It doesn't say that it's wrong to use 'learned'.

Notice the use of the words "generally" and "prefer."

That will provide you with a vital clue.

Neither infers any kind of prescription in usage. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Also, I take my lead from the Oxford English Dictionary, not whatever illiterate tome you have preferred.

Any inclusion of the Comma Chameleon in the English speaking world in the first place is somewhat tenuous ...

I think you mean 'implies' rather than 'infers'.

No, I’m not sure I do.

I’m talking about the reception of information - the inferring of meaning by the use of a particular word. There is no “suggesting” in my statement (which would be “to imply”).

Third rule of wummery: do not attempt to go in above your intellectual capabilities.

I do hope that no one used your comment to attempt to wum me... Oops! I see that Pixie already has.
