The system of calculating and marking things as a percentage is named after Dutch mathematician O. Ratio Percent. (circa 1783). Although he wasn't the first to come up with this type of calculation he greatly improved a more basic system which had been devised about 100 years earlier by Scottish Professor, Mark Soota-Hunner.

We still have two games to go. Whether any directors will be there I've no idea. I don't think their presence, or lack of it, will influence the outcome of the games. Unfortunate that they are all away at the same time but hardly a major concern in my opinion and when is actually the best time for them to be away. As long as they are around during the close season when there is actually some serious business to do and decisions to be made. I'm pretty sure the Chairman at least will be keeping in touch with events at the Club. I would imagine that several decisions about player's futures will already have been made at not left until now.

He maybe reads pie and bovril and took the hint.

I was wondering how Naysmith would react if the players came out after the match and criticised the Management the way he criticises them. He picks an easy target he knows can't/won't answer back. His criticism is hardly constructive either, it's just a rant and threats about player's futures and he almost completely absolves himself of any blame.

They probably watch too much Eastenders or TOWIE so they probably are simpletons.

Oak trees of similar age grow exactly the identical number of leaves each year. No other species of tree does this.

I hate it when they grab the knob and twist without asking first.

The last known recorded words of singer Perry Como were " Shut that tape recorder off, I'm not recording any more."

His loan signings were good until he started chopping and changing, whether Rankin and Mercer were is arguable. Rankin is hardly picking up many plaudits from the fans and Mercer's not even getting a game from the bench now. Maybe he's still dizzy from the runaround he got V St. Mirren.

Like all new Managers, Naysmith wanted to put his stamp on the team when he came in. I believe he told certain behind-the-scenes individual(s) not to interfere in 1st team football. If true then was a positive and required start. I think however he may have upset a few in the ranks by immediately stripping the Club Captain and Assistant Captain of their positions and bringing in a new player and giving him the Captain's armband. His after-match comments also don't seem aimed at fostering good team spirit. Despite him saying after Saturday's game that he is not in the habit of publicly criticising players he had done it on several occasions. I think under Skelton there appeared to be a good spirit within the squad. That was seriously eroded under the Interim Manager as performances got worse, and Naysmith doesn't appear to have been able to restore a positive team spirit. Maybe just a feeling on my part but there seems to be factions within the squad. We'll have to wait and see who comes and who goes in the summer and maybe when he has brought more of his own men in we will see players who want to play for him.

At the big Council Car Park in town, plenty of all day parking spaces in the morning, yet some drivers persist in parking on the access road making it single lane, and you are forced to give way to other cars when you are driving in or out. Drive another 20 yards you lazy twats and park in the proper spaces.

If getting a kitchen fitted don't get the same man to fit it as a bloke I know. Small kitchen about 2.4 m square, worked on it for about 2 weeks and it never seemed to get any further forward. He also kept asking for money for materials which he'd had already plus he had a young helper who was a bit of a tealeaf. The bloke ordered the wrong worktops and wanted cash to supply the right ones as well. The customer eventually told him to sling his hook. Ended up the customer's grandson, who's a lawyer, finished the kitchen off in about 2 nights, wall units, finishings, decoration, the lot. If this kitchen fitter offers to do the work give him a wide berth. His name's Pat Phelan.

It's maybe fate so I don't waste so much of my day posting on forums.

This type of scenario came to mind following the Lennon/Duffy spat at Easter Road and everyone was building up the next meeting between their clubs when more fisticuffs were predicted. As is usually the case it was all handshakes and hugs when they did meet.

Thanks I'll try that. The windows down, heater on cure didn't work anyway.

Sony Xperia about 18 months old. Had similar problem last week trying to delete texts but the delete function key at top right kept going to phone mode but it rectified itself. Hope this does the same. On a contract anyway so maybe get a replacement.

Problems wi my mobile trying to write texts, etc as the end letter next to the o, the p one, won't work and always shows as o. Thought it was my stubby fingers to blame but it's not. Predictive text being used to correct things but I'm getting some strange choices. Also got to print longer words so I can delete letters to get the letter p. Slow work as my keyboard skills are not quick anyway. Is my mobile knackered?

Thanks SD.

Can't see any report/score for last night's U20's V Mids game on the OS. Anyone got info?

Bassard banks building your hopes up with an offer of increasing your credit then pulling the rug away a few days before it's due to increase, then a few months later coming back with the offer again. Make your mind up kantz.

Banks/Building Societies advertising campaigns making them out to be caring, compassionate and friendly. Aye right. We'll help you out but we won't mention it will cost you a fortune to pay back. Halifax: Come in Mr. Top Cat, you're homeless, no money, no problem, here have as much as you want. Let's at least have a wee bit of reality.

Funnily enough (or maybe not) this topic came to mind the other day. Back in the "good old days" you would never dream of going out with rips in your jeans for fear of being branded a scruff, now my old work jeans are the height of fashion. Fashionable haircuts as well have completely reversed. Nowadays it's trendy to have a lopsided hairstyle with possibly a few stripes cut into it as well. If my barber had done this when I was a youth he would be branded a hair butcher and wouldn't get much trade. You got a short, back and sides and that was it. Kids with "bowl cut" hairstyle used to be pitied as it usually meant their parents cut it themselves 'cos they couldn't afford the barber, now that style is "in". They say if you keep something long enough it will come back into fashion, that's all well and good but my flared trousers and corduroy Beau Brummel style jacket will probably be a bit tight on me now.
