I wish that there were still some exclamation marks left for the rest of us to use and that the entire 2009 allocation had not been exhausted.
Another WISH LIST !!!
- Thread starter yonmon
- Start date
I wish that there were still some exclamation marks left for the rest of us to use and that the entire 2009 allocation had not been exhausted.
What a strange time and place to challenge one's 'Grammatical Integrity' Mr Morton ! (ooops! there goes the first one ! ), After reading this alarming admonition, I can only assume that like myself you find some pleasure in recognising where a fellow postee has made an honest attempt to garner the attention of those reading his words in a manner which not only makes the Post interesting to read, but also emphasizes a situation in a way that will hopefully draw some response (either in concurrence with his point- of- view, or made in a more critical vein!).
In my defence I can only say that I generally and genuinely attempt to follow Grammatical Rules when I make one of my occasional visits to our Forum, in the case of 'Exclamation Marks and their usage'...the two I remember are very simple..(Not wishing to overdo it you see!)...
1. Expressions of strong emotion do call for the exclamation mark to be used!..: (as Marmion's last words in Sir Walter Scott's epic work 'Marmion' demand... "Charge, Chester, charge! "On, Stanley, on!"(From which line I suppose our Club's famous Battle-Cry could have had had it's origin ?, a romantic thought !)
and 2)...When the emotion is very strong double exclamation points may be used: "Assist him!! I would rather assist Satan!!" (No allusion to any person at Accrington Stanley intended!).
Two points then Mr Morton which might persuade you to forgive any over-use of this powerful 'tool' in the writer's armoury..
Firstly. My emotions ARE usually very strong when I write about many of the situations which excite most of the users of our Forum...
and secondly, I am, in my dotage, and usually charged up with 'Absolut' Vodka, inclined to get over-excited, and some would say a little verbose ?,
in my attempts to provide interesting variations on the more intensely serious themes pursued by other friends on the Forum.
However,I take your point...!!!!.
'ON STANLEY !...ON !........TO GREATER THINGS !'.

I Wish that....
1) The Red's will be playing at Grimsby on Friday Evening!!.
2)..That Mr o'Neil would stop making pledges that he must know it is impossible to keep !.
3)..That this feeling of being patronised and presumed to be foolish by Mr o'Neil and Mr Heys would go away !!.
and 4)...That this bottle of Absolut Vodka wasn't empty!!
(And that Alfred.E. would start to Worry for once!!)

The logistics of actually doing that could be very interesting. According to the fishy site, O'Neill will not be in court - only a representative.
according to radio lancs about 6.20pm tonight ... rob heys said both him and mr o neill would be at the court tomorrow along with all the receipts ... to show that they had the money but just waiting for it to come through to their bank as it takes 4 - 6 weeks for the money from credit cards to come through to their bank.
that basically was about all i heard .. ive been fielding phone calls and texts for most of the night ...

i wish that I'd worn a jumper under my coat tonight.
I attempted to sleep on the Clayton End tonight in case it was the last night before the vultures swoop. But I gave up about 10 minutes ago cos I was that cold I couldnt sleep.

Not a night for sleeping anywhere Rob !!...The vodka didn't work..neither did my 'Silentnight Special;...got so overheated that I'd to snuggle up to Mrs.Y. to cool off!...(The only passion that was actually roused was that generated by my thoughts about this Morning's Inquisition !)...
However, my thoughts were with you, and all the TRUE Fans of Accrington Stanley (Although Mr o'Neil wouldn't agree...seems to think we are some sort of vermine who inhabit The Crown now and again!!) ...as I was saying..
my thoughts were with you, and applauding your efforts....something had to be done last night..and YOU did it !!.
Hope that The Ultras will be making the same noise at Blundell Park on Friday Evening ....and that you've warmed up a bit!!
Is there no end to the lies and deception? A few days ago, blame for the shortfall was being placed on people who had promised loans but reneged. The statement on the fishy site says something quite different. And the idea that payment from credit cards takes 4 - 6 weeks to come through to the bank is utterly ludicrous.
If you sign up with a third party card processing service, there are some that will retain the first payment of card receipts for up to 2-3 months (money laundering regulations, etc.), but that is not the case with the SOS Fund. The card payment facility on the site is via PayPal and they forward all payments within one week of the withdrawal request.
Yet more bull**** from our CEO
