Now this is good news and a sensible judgment. Smaller clubs (and you will know who I have in mind (3-0 home win last night - hurrah!) frequently invest in training local talent because they can't afford to buy top class players, but then see their best young players taken by larger clubs (although this can be a useful source of income). This judgment will protect the smaller clubs' interests whilst still allowing free movement of talent. I wonder if this judgment will extend to other sports too?

Double Dutch
Tom: I was thinking about Domburg.
Me: Yes? What were you thinking about?
Tom: I was thinking about when we saw Kraak en Smaak.
Me: Well, we actually saw them in Middelburg, in the Abdijplein. But it isn’t far from Domburg.
Tom: Yes, that’s right. [pause] Abdijplein is a funny word. It’s double Dutch! Abdijplein! Heeheehee! (pronounced perfectly: ab-dye-pline)

Spanish equivalent of the Met Office. I couldn't get the English version of the site to work, but the Spanish version is simple enough for a non-linguist to navigate. Gives a more plausible forecast than Weather Underground which currently forecasts temperature fluctuations of 17 degrees Celsius within 24 hours for Cordoba.
