Rowlands wins Player of the Year
May 8th, 2008
Ok, now that the snooker final is over (congrats to Ronnie) I’ve got a bit of time to write about yesterday. Regarding the game, I predicted a 2-0 win to West Brom beforehand and when I looked at the betting slip saw I could have got 7-1 on that score. However, it goes against the grain to put money on the opposing side and the thing was, before our sending off the game had been evenly matched, in fact we were the side creating more, but once that happened it was effectively game over which was a real shame.
Another thing that was a shame was the PA balls up before the match when the mic packed up just as Flavio was just about to address the crowd. Didn’t happen with Fergie at Old Trafford when he told the fans there to enjoy Moscow after their game with the hammers and it was just so typical Rangers really that with all the press and media watching, Flavio’s big moment turned into a Norman Collier one. I wonder if we’ll ever find out what he was going to say? And if any of Les, Gerry etc were going to say a few words?
My man of the match was Ainsworth but Delaney and Zesh did well too. Well done to West Brom but I thought they over egged it a bit but then that’s possibly because we wanted to get away quick but refused to leave until we saw our players come out to do their final walk around the ground.
Onto the evening part of the day. The Player of the Year event was due to get underway from around 7pm but after a panic at home, we didn’t get there until nearly quarter to eight which had one fan sweating as I had his and his mate’s tickets The meal was really poor….the starter was fit only for rabbits, I like my vegetables but that was ridiculous…..the main wasn’t much better…..and the dessert included what was supposed to be some champagne jelly but what was three tiny little blobs on the plate which if you didn’t look properly you would have missed. We all had to be very careful we didn’t get too drunk on that. The coffee was stone cold so good job none of us were there for the meal as such.

except for people who realize that creative players deliver sound considerably better than many of their competition. the vision i have was so much better than anything in its class when it came out, and so less expensive than you-know-who.

hold on there pal. i’ve been commenting this way for years and years. no one has ever related to me that my comments lacked perspicacity simply because i fail to hit the shift key like a good boy.and maybe it’s not such a good idea to exude an air of superiority based on an url.

I bought one 4 or 5 years ago and learned my lesson. That was the biggest p.o.s. ever and it stopped working in just a couple of months.

perhaps it’s a better analogy to think of car makers suddenly using nautical miles.

Giga is a standard ISO prefix. The prefix gebi is the one you are thinking of.

They got sued and lost because they considered that 1GB = 10 exp 9 bytes and not 1GB= 2 exp 30 bytes without stating it clearly.I looked around online and pretty much every mp3 player sellers use the 1GB = 1 billion bytes system.What next? Suing because the mention “holds xxx songs” is not accurate either?

Wow, that’s… pretty much on a par with a discount offer.Are class-action lawsuits regarded as promotions these days?
