Silver Bee Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 your missing the point as always... but there you go, not a lot can be done about that but well done, you actually got something correct for a change No I got the point, it just wasn't funny. With humour like that though, I'm sure that the nights fly by in your house hold. Thank You, it's a shame the same can't be said about you but there's always next time.

KevH Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 If you can't see that ONE of the runnerS up is a runner up, then you need to go back to school. ONE of the idiotS is an idiot. ONE of the people is a person. ONE of the riderS is a rider. ONE of the chickenS is a chicken. If 2nd to 7th are runners up, what is 7th? A runner up So, using your theory 16th is also a runner-up...............now I know why they say nobody ever remembers the runner-up.........clearly, it's because there's too many of them TO remember.

"2. runners-up, the competitors who do not win a contest but who place ahead of the majority of the contestants and share in prizes or honors, as those who place second, third, and fourth, or in the top ten." 7th is ahead of the majority. It's also a "share of the prizes" as the "prize" is the next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietbowers Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Wow,all this runner up talk Can i just add a little to the debate by saying that if my wife comes first and I come second,surely that makes me the winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again you have used an additional s to add credence to your arguement....................runner-up is second..............simple as that!!!!

If the 1-7 are runners up, collectively, singularly they are a runner up. ONE of the idiotS is an idiot. ONE of the people is a person. ONE of the riderS is a rider. ONE of the chickenS is a chicken. If 2nd to 7th are runners up, what is 7th? A runner up A plural has to have a singular. Edited June 14, 2008 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Thanks you`d never of guessed No one seems to have given Lewis a chance in this meeting,think he will do well. Lewis loves Rye and was going better than the PL boys when he turned up as a CL nipper a few years ago...... he is one of the last guys I would rule out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBKPCNBob Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Thanks you`d never of guessed No one seems to have given Lewis a chance in this meeting,think he will do well. Most of the field ive never heard of but I think Lewis should qualify as he has more experience on the smaller tracks then the Poles etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 A glorious sunny morning. Hopefully Len will keep his watering can regularly replenished otherwise we're in for a dusty afternoon. Sure is a glorious morn except that I cannot come to terms with having to get up at the crack of dawn! Good luck to the Brits and the two Aussies (my 'adopted' country!) Looking forward to a great meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
