Giggs over Best?

Bale over Rush as a out and out striker

Loved Rushie, no doubt. But can't deny what Bale has achieved - scoring and winning in multiple CL-finals among other things. Also carried Wales to international success. 

 

Giggs/Best: Best the better player, but Giggs outdo him with his stabilty in the game over twenty years. 

 

Agree that it's maybe wrong to put Bale up front.

Erm, Fig Roll is ineligible. It’s a cake not a biscuit. Goes hard not soft when left out.

Debatable. I'm choosing that it makes the squad.

 

Thank you for your very important enquiry involving the status of fig rolls. Not to beat around the bush, the fig roll is most definitely a biscuit, and certainly not a cake.

 

The fig rolls going behaviour is indeed to go hard rather than soft and indeed to turn other hard biscuits around it soft. But this merely proves that this is not a hard and fast rule for determining whether something is cake or biscuit. Not only is the fig roll not the only biscuit to disobey this rule but if it were as simple as that then the whole jaffa cake fiasco would have come to a close with much more haste than it did.

 

Sometimes one can think so hard about something that you wind up confusing yourself, and obscuring the simple truth. I'm not at all surprised this happened to you whilst a student, as many expend prodigious amounts of mental energy on such matters, flexing their intellects, when really they should be writing essays or something. It seems as if one is using deductive logic to create a stimulating debate amongst ones peers, where as in fact one is simply racking up a student loan which will have to be paid off at some point. I remember vividly wasting hours as a student trying to get a piece of string to stand upright in a pool of molten lard inside a hollowed out sugar beet, feeling sure that I was on to something.

 

Here are some reasons why the fig roll is a biscuit.

 

It's made in biscuit factories, by biscuit companies, (Jacobs, Crawfords).

 

It's made using biscuit dough in addition to all that fig paste.

 

There are other similar items around the world that are considered biscuits in their native land, Fig Newtons, Arnotts Spicy Rolls etc.

 

It's one of my favourite biscuits.

I must have missed Wales' international triumph. McManaman also scored in a CL final for Real and won multiple medals at Real. It's harder not to.

Semifinals i Euro is quite an achievement for a team like Wales. 

And about playing for Real: The same argument could be made for playing for Liverpool in the 80s
