Just seen this in The Guardian and came here to see if it had already been posted. Not much misses us, does it. :-)

I reckon there's been more articles bout Southampton in the last two weeks than the previous 5 years combined. I like reading bout Southampton as much as the next fan, but even my insatiable appetite for Saints news is proving to be... satiable.

That's interesting Bearsy. My 1964 edition of the Concise Oxford includes 'satiable; (rare)', but my more recent Compact Oxford doesn't include it at all!

ha I was wondering if it was a genuine word, independent of the "in". As you've clearly got nowt better to do, maybe check out "gruntled" also!

I'm pretty sure we have PG Wodehouse to thank for 'gruntled'.

I love Danny Wallace.

Top bloke, he used to live near me in Wakefield Road. I remember seeing him in mikes chippy at the castle in Midanbury after a game one day and he signed me an autograph on chip paper, I was about 8 I think. Loved him as a player and shows how much football had changed that a top flight footballer in the 80s lived in a 3 bed semi in Midanbury.

That would have been an awesome story.

 

If only you had mentioned Golf

Called my mum a b1tch once when she cornered him trying to sneak out the back door during a junior saints day,his was the only autograph I didn't have and was desperate for,she sent my little brother off to get me but by the time he found me and we went back about 2000 other kids had surrounded him,he didn't look best pleased

I'm an English teacher, so thanks for the other example of a word used with a prefix but not without! Any more? :-)

Sue, have you ever been captain of England's ladies football team and did you used to teach P.E. ??

 

I could be mistaking you for one of my old teachers is all.
