When I was a kid back in the '60s, the meal in the middle of the day was dinner and the meal at the end of the day was tea. This was propagated at school were you had '[free] school dinner', not '[free] school lunch'. This is still the case now, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie's_School_DinnersChizz said:The three meals you can eat each day are either breakfast, lunch and dinner, in that order; or breakfast, lunch and supper, in that order.
Dinner is never served in the middle of the day.
Yes is a drink not a meal. Although you can have sandwiches, biscuits, cake or bread and jam with tea.

My sources are not releasing anti Aussie information they are releasing information that so far has been factually true.
My personal take on those pieces of information I post on here as they are my view on what my interpretation is of what I have been told
So let’s keep things in perspective there is no anti Aussie agenda
How many times have I said I hope they buys us probably every month since December
My own view is that they will do the same as RD reference to players in and mgmt team members I even offered a decent wager to you should if after 12 months in control I am wrong I will pay £100 to the upbeats
So we will become an Aussie farm not a Belgian one
As to the other shit things RD does who knows if they will be any good
My own opinion is of their financial model is it’s going to be confusing to know who has the release of the pennies if you have a team of investors
Much like when Kevin Cash TJ and MS never really disclosed who was the main source of money and when that person decided they were not playing anymore the fun stopped
My own opinions based on the info I have heard
I certainly won’t be singing tie me kangaroo down sport or wearing a cork hat because this lot have far from shown any thing of note to deserve such a reception
Instead being like a WWE wrestler who says the home town for cheap cheers
Mentioning the fans the family feel and wearing a scarf at a playoff game when most of us would’ve preferred they just paid the agreed amount by the date they were given instead of missing that deadline and still not completing8 -
I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks. Many years ago on holiday in darkest Cornwall (goran) I was told that I had a 'nothing accent' whilst Mrs TT from posh New Eltham was told by the same person that she was clearly from london. Bloody nothing accent that still narks.StrikerFirmani said:
You must have been the posh one on the Estate.TellyTubby said:
Well that's what I have always eaten but I ain't from the Midlands or oop North. I was born and bred on Coldharbour Estate.Exiled_Addick said:
If you're working class and from the midlands or north, you may well eat breakfast, dinner and tea, in that order.Chizz said:The three meals you can eat each day are either breakfast, lunch and dinner, in that order; or breakfast, lunch and supper, in that order.
Dinner is never served in the middle of the day.
Yes is a drink not a meal. Although you can have sandwiches, biscuits, cake or bread and jam with tea.
Fact.
Dinner ladies, never lunch ladies.
I took sarnies not a packed lunch.2 -
'So we'll become an Aussie farm not a Belgian one'
And with that one sentence everything you say NLA becomes just white noise to me.
Put it back in its place now, there's a good lad.11 -

Like you, NLA is providing us with snippets of information about the sale of the Club, that he is getting first hand. This is from a source that has far more inside knowledge of the Club, it's history and its inner machinations than the proposed purchasers may have.
Both tell only one side of the story. Both I'm sure are factual, but from different sides of the deal.
Just accept it and stop knocking everybody else's information which doesn't concur 100% with what you've been told.
And when the British bidder turns up holding scarfy above his head announincing he's the new owner, we can all look stupid.

Bringing Australians in isn’t a problem if they’re good enough and suited to the league we’re in (whether they’re a manager/coach/player etc). Players from the network such as Buyens or scouted by them such as JBG were good for the club.2

Back to actual takeover talk rather than the 10 year olds arguing, I think more importantly than someone stumping up a few grand for a tour, someone actually thinks we’re gonna be ready for Welling 2 weeks today and ready for the tour I’m assuming the following week.3

Because I said
No fee agreed
Not done deal
No money to seal the deal
And now that discussions have once again returned to leasing the ground and training ground
Then I give you my personal opinion on it and that really presses your buttons which on an Internet forum is a bit silly but you allow it too so I would seek some for of stress release
my own opinion is that I see the Aussies with a glass half empty view and not one where I will blow their digeridoo just because they wore the scarf and engaged by saying polite platitudes about the fan base

As I've said before, we both want rid of the current owners.nth london addick said:My response to @grapevines post was a reflection on the respect I pay to the way he posts and puts across his message I don’t have to agree to his thoughts
Your right about one of my sources of info but totally ignore the one with the most info that I get
There’s a main differences to what I post from the oposing fence
it’s been correct every single time where as the info being released by others and the Aussies has not come true once as of yet
Therefore it has more credibility to me than anything else that has been released on here with the exception of the much abused Doucher who if you read what he has posted on the whole has been far more accurate than anything else
And we will be a pool for Aussie football talent in coaching and players I will have a tidy wager on that with you should the Aussies ever reach the bottom of their so deep pockets they can’t find their cash
And remember those that you say are feeding me false info
I posted 24 hrs before the statement and before your text back from your guy
That things were not dead things were being continued the wheels were still spinning underneath
That RD was working on removing the debt in the background
Let’s not forget that the aussies themselves have twice now mentioned that the reason for the delay could be due to final sign off and the complicity of building a financial consortium
In NLA terms that means they ain’t got the dough and I will add the same line I added in October
Currently they may well find it
through to June
All of this in the background of
Imminent
Done deal
Feb conclusion
Staff told it’s a week a way
It’s happening
Let’s wait and see I hope they find the cash I hope they buy the club lock stock and barrel because anyone is better than RD imo
But i have reservations about anyone who buys us and there’s no clear proof of finance
We have been there before
I have reservations about people that openly in the initial press info on the AFC are open about bringing the Australian football interests to the UK
As we have been there before but with a Belgian
When you combine the cloudy nature of where and who is in charge of the pennies in the newcconsortium and the fact that we could become an Australian version of the RD player pool game
I think it’s only right that it’s treated with caution
However, to say the Australian model is the same as the Roland model is pretty outrageous, fine in debate, but plainly wrong when you state it as their stated intention. 'The Aussie model' you called it.
You said they were going to let RD keep The Valley and Sparrows Lane. Whoever is briefing you knows the effect that would have on support for the Aussies, so you could at least wonder why they're doing it. But you presented as fact. If there was supposed to be some sort of temporary arrangement while a new investor is approved, then say so, but your late night post made it look like the bottom of the barrel was being scraped, and we were about to get new owners as bad as the last. Unfair.
Saying nothing the Aussies have said has come true, whereas everything you have said has come true, is just silly, and I'm sorry, willy waving. If what your source tells you doesn't come true you'll be able to distance yourself, of course. What they've said can't come true until they've bought the club.
I've been carefully following the principal of releasing all info I have in case I appear 'ITK and I've tried not to express personal opinions about any info they gave me, as I don't know any more than anyone else, and very often less. But I like to see them getting a fair suck at the pineapple (a fine old Aussie expression) in the interest of fairness. Bear in mind that since the beer meeting they've said very little, even to the press, except 'we're still working on it'. Dignified silence maybe.
They called and asked me not to withdraw the bust, because they said it could strain negotiations, but said they were aware that there was a lack of info in the public domain, hence the statement. I don't know how much of their draft was used, but I agree the official statement was a bit disappointing - but at least it showed they hadn't pulled out.
The last message I received was 'don't believe the rumours'.
Htf does that work? Are you involved in the purchase as well?!!!!12
