No you bloody well can't have a refund on your season ticket, you stay and suffer like the rest of us?
Not really close to the same thing. If the poster had, say, Tom Cruise on it, and you got some Dutch unknown in his place, I would definitely be getting a full refund.
Worth every turgid minute of the Ring Cycle just for the Ride Of the Valkyries and the Magic Fire Music.
Thought this was worth a bump godders, all that talk about refunds for buying a season tickets when the cast has changed and trade description etc. Just wondered now, watching a team second in the premier league and scoring 8 in one game whether you have donated Extra money to the club for upping the entertainment?
Well I make a point of buying two Saints Foundation Tickets every match day. Does that count? PS For all of the opera buffs I've never really been into Wagner or Mozart I am more of a Puccini fan and that probably doesn't count as I am sure that in a purist's eyes he is a little too close to Gilbert and Sullivan!
I'm already starting to think that chant is a bit old. We have a new crop of players doing rather well under a manager that could well be one of our best. Apart from Lambert I'm happy to forget about the lot that thought the grass was greener and smugly pleased that at the moment it's significantly browner.
It does seem that the Northam (and fans at away games) somewhat disturbingly sing "Where's all our players gone?" which is, frankly, grammatically baffling
The development of language is an organic process. Grammar merely tries to ossify something that is constantly evolving. Shakespeare never worried about it, and neither did James Joyce or William Burroughs, to name but three.
I'd argue that, in an age of globalisation where our language is becoming (or has become) the global language, we need some strict standards to avoid confusion.
I agree. There is a difference between grammar, which sets the basic structure of a language, and vocabulary, which is constantly evolving to keep abreast of a developing world. Shakespeare may have invented more new words than practically any other person in English history, but he still kept to the rules of how those words should be deployed.
