She supports Chelsea, so QPR are known as 'My cr*ppy B league team' (Ok, she IS American, so cut her some slack), and her colleague that sent her the email supports Arsenal, and is 'still pissed off that my cr*ppy B league team beat them' Ah, happy marriages All apologies to Beth!!
It is OK "Other R" I do understand the offside rule, no need for diagrams..its when that nice man in the funny shorts on the touchline puts up his flaggy thing. If he doesn't put up his flaggy thing then you are allowed to fall over and roll around a bit and then our nice captain is allowed to walk off the pitch on his own and then they get a free shot at the goalie thing. Is that right.
I think this is the easiest explanation, helped my good lady... She got it straight away!! You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have. The 'opposing' female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses. It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes. The shop assistant remains at the till waiting. Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you. If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes. At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes. Always remembering that until the purse had *actually been thrown* it would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.
