Somebody got Google
 

and did it well. Somebody figured out their criteria for a direct launch to a site and got it to recognize that page. Ubelievable what crative ways people come up with to raise havoc!

That's a phrase that should be added to the list of words automatically edited out of posts!

No, the prices are in British pounds. Great Britain is only semi-FEEBLE. That's because Tony Blair RULES!!!

Literally.


BTW - the guys from the BBC show "The Office" introduced themselves at an American awards show by saying "Our show comes from England. You remember England - we used to rule the world before you did."

The Brits are OK, not like that country full of cheese-eating surrender monkeys.

Ahhh....I see...you cast a small net.

I only searched the entire net.

BTW, first hit is a stock quote for a company called Boston Fed Bancorp, ticker symbol BFD.

Now that's gotta be a good bank!

I saw the writer of that show on Letterman a few weeks ago. Funny guy.

I never saw the show itself though.

So here we have a thread that degrades into silliness, and irrelevancy. But, there are some of us who LIKE that!

Seriously, what I like most about this board, is that it has been a tremendous help to me in my advancement. When I've had a lousy game and handled something poorly, I get advice, encouragement and a certain amount of comfort. When I get some good news, there's someone I can brag to with a minimum of political ramifications. And here's some rules help, some philosophy, and a very interesting overview of how things are different around the country.

And when the games get few and far between, I can feed my jones here. Yea, it's like that!

ditto on the personal attacks
 

I stopped posting long ago, my skin isn't thick enough.

BLARGE
 

One to add to the Basketball official's vernacular:

BLARGE = When two officials whistle a play and one is signaling a Block, while the other comes out with a Charge.

Where are you getting PC from personal foul? (And on IPC??) I've always done PC for Player Control (and don't forget TC for those college types, or OF for our W/NBA folks).
