It's hilarious in Mandarin, though.
That reminds me.

The Dutch Wikipedia page for Happy Birthday appears to give a Chinese version of the song that goes as follows:

Hankie pankie Shanghai
Hankie pankie Shanghai
Hankie pankie hankie pankie
Hankie pankie Shanghai


Hankie pankie?

My apologies. :oops:
But even they have been to a play off final - I know because I went along to support them. Which brings up an interesting question:

Which of the following scenarios is worse?:

1. Staying in a division and never getting into even the play offs.
2. Making the playoffs but losing the semi so you don't even get to Wembley
3. Losing at Wembley when you were in touching disctance of promotion.

For me it's losing the semi (partly because that's what happened to us and therefore it must be the worst).

I don't see there's much difference between 2 and 3. But then, I've never been to Wembley to watch my team lose :wink:

Played two, won two?

Guinness soccer six? I'm sure that was in the GMex?

We won the 5-a-side one year (there's a trophy in our cabinet) - was that Wembley?

Not as far as I can discover. We've played Uxbridge, Hounslow, and Southall though, if that's any help?

Yep - the 5-a-side was at Wembley arena. And, yes, the Guiness Soccer Six was at the G-Mex.

Why would people have &quotmultis&quot? Is it so they can back up their own arguments and pretend they've got support?
