    The television in my lounge is mounted 'high', so it's not obscured by the coffee table. It's angled downwards so it's visually aligned with the seating. I am aware of no substantial problem.

    Meanwhile, the arse is falling out of the world.

    Superglue is useful for exactly one thing, which is sticking broken things to your fingers. It is is completely useless for actually mending the broken things.

    I thought that it was specially formulated for sticking the unsuspecting to toilet seats?

    I use it for attaching tips to snooker cues.

    Anyone who refers to a big lead in goal difference as "effectively an extra point" actually means an extra half point.

    If Team A goes into the last game two points ahead of Luton but with a 100 better goal difference, that isn't worth an extra point because if Luton win and Team A loses, Luton stay up. It's the difference if they finish level, i.e. an extra half point (other fractions are acceptable, depending on preference).

    Also, after Stoke/Swansea no-one should refer to Nottingham Forest's existing goal difference difference as any kind of advantage until they have stopped conceding goals for the season. 10 or 14 goal advantage with 4 games each left is well within the realms of possibility. I'll concede the 29 goal advantage over Sheffield United is fairly unlikely to be overturned.

    Indeed. We could easily ship 6+ against City.

    People who start emails with "Greetings" are automatically off to a bad start with me. I assume that they wear fedoras ironically and play Dungeons & Dragons.

    If you move a Noon meeting forwards two hours that meeting is now at 10am, not 2pm.

    And bi monthly is every other month, not twice a month.

    (I know both answers to both are technically accurate, one set more USA and one more British, but they're hills I'm prepared to die on, especially the 10am one)

    No, I make you exactly correct regardless of which side of the Atlantic.

    Motion seconded.

    Also on the whole email thing... 'Kind regards'.

    What you're essentially saying, is 'Here are my regards. I am kind'.

    Which makes you sound a bit of a self aggrandising prick, really.
