    Is the earth flat too?
    Pretty much no one in the middle ages nor throughout all history has ever believed the earth to be flat. This was a myth circulated in the late 19th century by a hoax/misinformation book that most people today think is true.

    ...Gary Moorecroft's hairstyle, on the other hand - THAT was flat.

      Seems the club colours isn't the only redness to be found on RWO. And while I share the disdain expressed by many for professional financial speculators, I can't help but draw a comparison between the career option chosen by Leo, Ball, Pyke etc and Cressa's self destructive but somewhat similar need to gamble. It seems adrenaline/risk addiction is a common footballer/exfootballer problem.

        Totally R&R. I think you've hit the nail on the head.
        It's the "excitement" factor.

        Working in law is as low as I'll ever go. No finance, insurance or real estate for me!!
        Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
        Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
