It doesn't work. As I have pointed out, it's logically possible that the majority of the population has an intellectual development below average.
But it's got nothing to do with seven-year-olds, so it's not a fair definition.

Nah. My little brother (username: Mr Chimp, big Rams fan) is offering to lend me the money, which is a bit embarrassing. And I still don't know how much it will cost. It does appear to just be the screen, which I guess is good news.
Nigel Clough for next manager? It would make my dad happy, but I'm not convinced...
Screen is more fixable than the entire laptop. 🙂
Nigel Clough wouldn't be a bad choice... I think that's sentiment speaking though, but he hasn't done a bad job at the Albion.

I need to know before lunchtime.
Thanks.

Originally posted by acubed123I know. But a population in which this would not be the case is not logically impossible.
