Weston Super Saint Posted 24 February, 2009 Share Posted 24 February, 2009 How does one do accents on here? Ascii codes and google Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 24 February, 2009 Share Posted 24 February, 2009 (edited) Ascii codes) Is that like the Da Vinci code? Accents are standard on all AZERTY keyboards. Mine's so old it doesn't even have the Euro sign on it. However AZERTY boards don't do capital letters with accents on them so they're not ideal for real writing buffs. Still you can do them on publisher and french versions of Word so that's ok. Edited 24 February, 2009 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 24 February, 2009 Share Posted 24 February, 2009 This chap seems to possess the qualities need to represent Saintsweb members at Boardroom meetings : At least he's unlikely to be as easily intimidated as Mary Corbett (allegedly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted 24 February, 2009 Share Posted 24 February, 2009 As the saints Tryst are touting the idea of one of them being on the board again, I thought we (the paid up members) could propose our own representative? We each get an opportunity to propose a candidate, those that get seconded go forward for a 'one member one vote' democratic election (poll) on a (new) seperate thread. A sticky thread could be opened for those nominated to post their manifesto, obviously onky accesible by the candidates. What do people think? crap idea - do you realise some of the people behind this forum were involved in setting up the Saints Trust and sat on the committee - as did a number of the more regular posters we wouldn't want any of those lunatics having a say in the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on track for a moment, I really do think that btf would be ideal for the position. In her line of work I bet she is used to working with intimdating, egotistical so-and-so's too, so wouldn't need any Dutch courage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 24 February, 2009 Share Posted 24 February, 2009 Not really understanding the religious laws Phil. Are you allowed to eat pancakes out there, or do you have to pass them off as crepes? Actually, are you alowed to have Tuesdays? We used to have pancakes on Fridays. That was when we used to go for the all day brunch at the lodge and we sort of had them after the full English but before the Roast Beef & Yorkshire Pudding. Tuesdays are always good, many people from overseas think of them as better than their Fridays in that it is always Ladies Night. This means that in most establishments ladies drink free, so the town is full of bars full of drunk ladies. But rumours abound of a bail out of Dubai by Abu Dhabi this week, this could prove difficult as Abu Dhabi don't really do the whole Tuesday thing, and worse they like to close all the bars during Ramadan, rather than just stopping entertainment. If THAT happens then our Thursdays AND Fridays will be cancelled for a whole month. HTH ps I would NEVER eat a Crepe. They are French. Living in a country where you are a racial minority, it is always odd and one has a different view on isms than in good old PC Blighty. But unfortunately I have to admit to being exceptionally Frenchist - unless it is Chateau Neuf Du Pape of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Site Agent Posted 25 February, 2009 Share Posted 25 February, 2009 Find a gorblimey old meths swillingtramp from somewhere down by back of the walls and impose him on Rupert,unwashed and dishevelled at every board meeting and in the director's box ever other Saturday from August to May. That would really get up Rupert's nose in more ways than one. Thats what we said, Alpine Saint...............Only Joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derry Posted 25 February, 2009 Share Posted 25 February, 2009 Why would a self appointed minority group of self interested fans warrant a member on the board. Season ticket holders are by far the biggest group of fans and as such unrepresented. It would make more sense for the season ticket holders to elect one of their number.

Season ticket holders are by far the biggest group of fans and as such unrepresented. It would make more sense for the season ticket holders to elect one of their number. Sorry but I disagree with your reasining here derry. The current board are a minority group in one respect, as they only represent a relatively small number of individual shareholders votes. I wouldn't know the exact numbers but if it was a democratic 1 man 1 vote system, they quite simply would not get anywhere near to the boardroom. You are correct about the season ticket holders, but they do not as far as I am aware, have a facility whereby they can elact a 'leader', if this changes then I would fully back their right to represented too. For this reason I DO supoort the Trust's idea. Going back to the current board's right to sit at the top table, it is simply due to their backers having the most shares, ergo the most money. It is the money men who have messed up this club IMHO and they will continue to ride roughshod, unless and until they are ousted. I honestly and sincerely hope and pray every time that I think of this club that I love, that they will prove me wrong, however they have a habit of not. Maybe it is a crazy idea to some to have fans on the board, but why not try it? Back on track, I still say btf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
