[edit] George Coppard

Great work on his bio! Maustrauser 13:42, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, glad you like it. I read his book and thought that this was a man who needed to be remembered. Couldn't think of a better way to do it than stick it on here -- Sumo664 16:10, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Quite right too. I don't know your view of football but it irritates me that if I hit random article on WP I am more likely to get the bio of a footballer or baseball player than anyone else! I am gradually entering many biographies of people I have on my bookshelves. Cheers, Henry Maustrauser 08:37, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I suspect that what you call football I'd call American football and what I describe as football you'd call soccer! Wasn't it George Bernard Shaw who described us as two nations divided by a common language. Despite this both our versions of football share the same disease which is highly paid non-entities. Like you, I prefer to remember people who actually achieved something of note ... -- Sumo664 12:27, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

We speak with one voice, although I am Australian rather than American. I call it American football too. Real football is Aussie Rules or Rugby. But what the hell, it's OK to watch but not for writing about on Wikipedia. Can you imagine it being of interest in 200 years who played whom? Have a good one.

Hi Dom, here I am using Wikipedia for the first time and there you are telling me to write something about Daffffodils
