    Terry Pratchett anyone?
    .
    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

      Clearly you for riding a bike

        Can they be fictional? I can see promise in a Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg managerial team if not.

          I think that was very much her take on the situation.

            Can we be sure it wasn't Reece in makeup and a wig?

              Brilliant. A fictional manager would be even better than a dead one.

              I don't see why they even need to be human characters. Now you've opened my eyes to the panoply of possibilities, I think a non-living form in a fictional universe where the laws of physics are entirely different and wholly beyond our understanding would be the unanimous choice of every true fan of Liverpool Football Club.

              And if you don't agree, you're either deluded or not a true fan. Or both.

                There is no way of knowing so yes, I'm certain it was.

Or people who have never been football managers but who you think would be good? There's no need for realism in all this. You can just base it on your own sincerely held feelings about why X would do such a brilliant job because it's just your opinion and it really is a fascinating and valuable way to whittle your life down to a stump.

                      In that case then, I want Mr Burns as our Owner, Smithers as our Chairman and T-Rex as our Manager.

                        To be fair neil, if we were to all sit there picking points in other people's posts, yours alone would keep me sufficiently busy that i'd not be able to do anything else at all.

                        Perhaps the 'live and let live' theory would be best used here, second only to the 'if you dont like it, dont read it' notion.

                        I'd still back the 60 year old woman in this scenario

                          Neil is just being cantankerous, he bears this trait the older he gets.
