A fellow old Elizabethan! (I was after it was a grammar school though)

Mansfield... you are kidding me.
Mansfield actually had a grammar school?
Well, knock me down with a feather.
Still, the class sizes would have been small

Interestingly our fellow financial rule breakers Everton FC have their motto -

NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM

Nothing but the best is good enough!!

Choice between Latin or Art at mine. I did not choose the former.

 

[Forest65]

Latin, about as much use as algebra. Who the f*** adds letters up? I have enough trouble with bleeding numbers.

Me? Absolutely useless, unless you like everything to be green.

Green is good, generally means you haven't killed it.

That reminds me of the time they found the old Roman remains on the old Church Street site of the Minster School in Southwell (the clergy houses are apparently also built on it) and someone graffitied Romans were here on the fence in Latin, only they didn't get it correct and someone corrected the graffiti...

Only in Southwell

Sherwood Hall Tech Grammar for me.
No Latin - but studied Russian ( not for long I hasten to add ).

There was at mine - Henry Mellish in 'sunny' Bulwell
3 years mandatory Latin

3 years - and I can only remember

amo, amas, amat - I love, you love, we love

I was at Alderman Derbyshire in darkest Bulwell.... barely 20% pf the kids did any French and even fewer did German.... the idea of doing Latin is vaguely comical

 

[Lord Wazzock]

Well, I can't contribute any Latin, we barely studied English in Ilson. My school was named after a melon - unless Cantelupe means something else in Latin.

Anyways, I've just listened to the latest price of football. Not surprisingly, there was plenty of Leicester and P&S chat. I didn't know that in 2016, the big six demanded, and acheived, a higher share of global TV money. The reason the rest of the PL voted with this was the threat of the big six leaving for a super league.

They do confirm that Forest, if they want, can move their accounting deadline to the end of July. I'm not sure it would make much difference with player sales.

Sounds like an advert for Nescafé

 

[Mcbeth99]

Sels did alright tonight although he couldn't save a penalty from cheaty foamy toney. Is it bad that I didn't want him to score? I hate him.

Hope Neco gets a good rest before Saturday because he is going to be knackered after tonight...

Grammar school? Pft, Shirebrook stood out so much and was so unique that it has a Special one.

If memory serves it actually had two. I believe there was also a Catholic Grammar School back in the day.

 

[Mcbeth99]

Watching the penalties. Lewandoski stops a couple of times. Are they allowed to do that now?

 

[Mcbeth99]

Neco....... SCORES

 

[Mcbeth99]

Bugger, not going to see Neco or Johnson at the Euros...

 

[alabamared]

A song in f***ing Latin? And you have the nerve to criticize jazz?

Latin makes a damn sight more sense than modern jazz, words cannot describe how bad that stuff is.
Now I spent a couple of weeks in New Orleans those know how to do Jazz properly.

Long enough to be able to blame Ukraine for Forest's FFP charges though.
