Mostly the fans tend to look down on our new signings and say Who? Why?

Not very often do we get excited about a new signing. And when we do, we end up disappointed

So I would like us to have a few more nonentities from nowhere.

Yes, I remember the ultimately successful attempts to bury that eponym. :D

Shurely, though, yours is in homage to one of the most brilliantly odd of all Paddock chants? :D

I've just done the same. I never realised how less intelligent one can seem from a lack of proper punctuation and basic use of grammatical rules. I wrote a big long post entirely sans capital 'i's. It shouldn't matter, but it does. Started a four page debate about Megson, negativity, and Lisbon.

Writing English without capitalizing the first person pronoun is almost as bad as writing French without the correct accents. :lmfao:

I don't know how without copy and pasting, or using word. The only code I know is 'ctrl+alt+e' for é.

Probably easier to use the extended ASCII character set - hold down the ALT key and type 130 on the number cluster for é. If you want ê it is ALT 136 - you can see the extended character set here. in the second table - use the decimal not the hex column. Have fun.

Neither this laptop, nor my old one, have a number cluster, and it doesn't work on the number keys across the top of the keyboard, so I'm stuck.

Your laptop should have a virtual number key cluster on the M,J,K,L,U,I,O and 7,8,9 keys which you access with the FN key. Have a look and the numbers should be printed on the keys in blue or green...So for example to get Monty's é you should hold down ALT and FN and type J L M. :D

My old laptop did, but this one doesn't. I tried it anyway but didn't work. I don't even have a 'number lock', or the other lock that isn't capslock, not that I know what either do. Can't see any blue numbers. Hmmm.
