"sorry D_C, another pedants myth.

disinterested can also mean uninterested as well as neutral"


Not so sure it's a myth - rather that usage encompasses both meanings. Uninterested is more precise because it doesn't have the alternative meaning.


Re England football, we have some decent young players but the closing of the skills gap between us and other countries just makes our tactical ineptitude more glaring.

So what do you think about our new(ish) manager?


Good? Bad? Indifferent?


End of last season I wanted him gone because he didn't have the team on-side. Now I think he has.


Only asking because the upper classes aren't playing this week so am able to get a word in :)

You were being a bit hasty in your judgement of Holloway AQm, he needed the summer and pre seasonn to get the team 'onside', ship out the players he didn't rate and bring in new faces. If he can get a much smaller club like Blackpool into the PL, who knows...

Maybe people didn't bother to reply because of the not so subtle passive aggressive nature of this. So if Millwall got themselves promoted, would that mean they were suddenly upper class? Or just that they're not shit anymore?

A passive aggressive post with a smiley face? What are you on about? I was making a light hearted comment implying that I don't have many opportunities to get a word in because this thread is supposed to be about the premier league.

Both!

I like to think I'm quite interested in the other divisions. In the case of Millwall, I always liked Holloway and wondered why he bailed out at Palace. Some of his interesting quotes......

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
