    Newcastle, the only place in the world where history has specific dates

    That's all well and good, however I think it's about time they put The Fire of London out.

    You mean the one that became a part of the chronological record of an important public event as in history ?

    History "The study of past events. particularly in human affairs", an event is an occurrence that takes place at a specific time or over a specific period of time, the Battle of Hastings 14th October 1066, World War One 28th July 1914 to 11th November 1918, so contrary to your comment History all over the world except in Fredor Land is full of specific dates.

    At this stage mackem fans just need to be put out of their misery. Would be an act of mercy to shut down that club.

    I agree with you here Fredor.
    SAFC are the masters of setting records for being the worst team in Premiership history so can indeed be forgiven for being casual about the latest assault on the '**** team top trumps' crown.

    All of history has specific dates, you pillock - otherwise it would just end up as a meaningless jumble of activity: as an example

    • Battle of Hastings -1066
    • Great Fire of London - 1666
    • Treaty of Utrecht - 1713
    • Battle of Waterloo - 1815

    You seem to be confusing a timescale with activity, as stated before history is a series of events, they are not continual, time however is continual as it carries on regardless, a football club is not continual in its activities as each game and season have a defined beginning and end, the entity that is the club is continuous but that is the ephemeral part of it, the physical club is made up of numerous events that have beginnings and ends.

    Any chance of some punctuation in there, so people might have a clue (as much as we ever do) to what the hell you're going on about on this occasion?

    For example, are you suggesting that the word "sorry" does not meet the requirements of continuing without stopping etc or should it be

    Sorry, does not meet.............. in which case, what is it that doesn't?

    Precision Freddie boy, precision!

    Now, coming back to our original theme...

    I guess if we consider time as being the continual progress of existence and events from the past through the present to the future, then it can be taken as essentially forming the "paper" on which the "words" of history are written.

    So yes, time, by it's very nature must be continual with history formed by a series of discrete events within the overall span - which could I suppose be construed into some form of semi-continuous narrative - for example the history of a football club could be seen as a series of linked, but discrete events such the individual games played on particular dates forming a season.


    or, of course, you could simply be acting like a complete tit for the sake of it...
