The 2012 Pre-season Cyberkop

[AndyPaul]

Leaving the piss taking of Paynter out of it for a moment (Hard I know) he didn't seem interested last night, a distinct lack of effort on his part. Unlike the Billy we know and love who is shit but put the work in.

And who were the two black lads in the team 2nd half. They looked like they might have something, though admittedly it was against Farsley.

they seemed to be in and out of the game from what i hear and not really consistent,

maybe they were the drifters.

I would think one of them was Sanchez Payne. The other? Nunez?

Not Nunez he's more medium black than black if you know what I mean. Nunez was actually worse than Paynter

[Emaharg]

I believe they were Sanchez Payne and Dom Poleon, who came on as a late substitute.

Ah yes.
Poleon.


Payne

Nunez


I see what you mean.

[Quiffy]

wasn't one of them simon lenighan? - he's taller than poleon, who's a striker, and playing in midfield nowadays [i think].

he looked a decent player a couple of years ago when i went to TA one saturday morning.

You could be right!

Two things.

How* long has Farsley been in north Leeds?

And when did they stop being Farsley Celtic?

*get fucked Musta.

That's fine. It's a genuine quantity question.
Things like How far, How fast, How many, How much... no problem there. You can give a genuine quantitative answer to a sensible question.
Some very recent examples from BBC R4, the worst culprits by some distance:
How dangerous are these toys?
How worried should we be about this development?
How safe are the olympics?
How happy were you to hear the news?
It proper does me head in I tells ya.
How hard can it be to frame a proper question?

so you're correct if you give a numerical answer, such as 7 out of 10?

this is something i've done in the past and just thought it was me being a bit autistic.

Well, yes.
Q. How safe are the Olympics? A. Errrr .... about 84%.
This is yet another losing battle, I know, it'll go the same way as less/fewer. and further/farther, there's nowt to be done, but it fucks me off.

excellent. i'm feeling cleverer than i did 5 minutes ago

[Tycipa]

fair point, well put but has this become the grumpy old man thread?

[moscowhite]

How do you feel about Farsley being in north Leeds?

[Ontolly]

if you read those questions on their proper context. The interviewer greets them in a native American way. Then asks the question.

[tommydski]

I'm confused, why can't those things be considered as quantities?

Native American Yoda makes rhetorical statements. Makes sense.

[Mustafaster]

I'm confused, why can't those things be considered as quantities?

Because you can't quantify those things.
The world is full of things and stuff.
Things are countable, you can ...errr .... count 'em.
Stuff is uncountable you can't count stuff, but you can quantify it by using a unit of measurement ( miles, hours, kilos etc...)
You can't quantify happiness, worry, danger... there is no unit of measuremernt for these things. You are reduced to determiners like a bit, not much, very etc...

How satisfied are you with that answer?
