LOL=laughing out loud. Or does it really mean Lot's of Love??

I always thought this forum had lots of people who laughed a lot. Maybe there's a subliminal attraction from grognard to grognard??

LOL

It's not a computer acronym. I've found it, but maybe Olli would like to answer it himself...

Yeah, well... They get kinda sensitive and delicate when it's pointed out that far more people play proper football than American "foot"ball...

Yep, but try telling that to them (damn, 5 t's in a row), and they get all defensive, and start boasting how one of their padded steroid monsters can flatten a proper football player...

But there are several that do follow it. I used to be a big fan of Manchester United because my mother was born near there and grew up as a fan, along with her brothers. I've kind of gotten away from it the last few years but I still watch when I can.

and they get all defensive


Uh, Terminus.... DO NOT!!! I'm not sensitive about it at all, I tell ya. It takes a real man to wear a ton of pads!!![:D]
