No news is good news, unless the news that we don't know turns out to be bad news, then i don't want to know anyway.  

Reports that say something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns- the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.

Can we just close down this thread and bring up a new one once there is something to say


No,  lets keep guessing what it might be until the news comes out,

The first person to get it right wins a sausage to insert in Jonnyboy's bottom.

When we have our first game in the new stadium.

First guess  =   new stadium gets approval by not only council but Fenty as well.

You do not have to break your word Crusty just nod if the right answer pops up.

This thread is in a category (for most of us) that Rumsfeld overlooked: unknown knowns.

Things like this make me yearn for the days when football news was limited to the back page of the telegraph on the way home and/or hitting Page 312 on Ceefax and waiting for it to scroll through.

I think Rumsfeld was basing his comments on an old Chinese proverb......

He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him. He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep; wake him. He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man; follow him.

Sixty six pages - now sixty seven after this one - of utter poop.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

I stand corrected, it's actually a Persian proverb.

I knew not.
