General The Board & Senior Management

I've been in the translation, proofreading and copyediting game for over 20 years now (and probably not for much longer).
In that time I've seen...

awful copy being created typed out on paper
awful copy being created in DTP programs etc.
awful copy being created after outsourcing to India
awful copy being created by people using computer-assisted translation programs
awful copy being created by AI

But in all of these things I can confidently say that the reason is always, always one of two things (or both).

Human error and cost-cutting.

"Lessons will be learned" I bet when OUSP or OxVox sit down with the powers that be. But they unfortunately don't seem to be learning at all. I can assure you that there is absolutely no excuse for the copy errors being made nowadays in our club communication.

Half-baked, half-witted, half-arsed rubbish!
 
I don't know if others have picked up on this but, Anindya Bakrie is currently in Russia promoting economic cooperation between Indonesia and Russia. They have signed an MoU already.
Makes me feel a little uneasy given the current sanctions imposed on Russia (rightly so, in my opinion)
What would happen if Indonesia or Bakrie himself, were deemed to be aiding Russia? Could that affect the financial support of the club?

I feel like it's probably unlikely to cause any operating issues, but it's not a great look for sure.

Potentially a gift to anti Oxford United lobbyists .
I see he was there as part of a delegation from the nine other countries in the BRICS alliance with Russia.

195 countries in the world only about 40 have sanctions against Russia. I don't think anyone could use it as a real tool in a planning application.
 
Christ! You're desperate if you're picking up on 'is' and 'are' !
Actually, both are correct. Oxford Utd. as a collective noun and also as a stand alone entity.
The only thing that might be questioned is the use of both in the one article.
 
One thing his for sure with over 17,000 islands in Indonesia but not sure how many are inhabited, OUFC should get some top exposure and if we can generate more business then that will be great
 
Part of it is! But there’s enough there that everyone knows who I am, or can find out who I am.

I suspect nether your Christian nor surname is Stranger either……🤣
I chose to use my real name, just figured that if you bumped into me wearing my shirt you could say hi 👋🏻
 
I was surprised to see a £2 ‘telephone booking fee’ has been added to my Hull City ticket purchase.

I may have missed it during the ticket release information for this season, but I don’t recall this additional charge being published anywhere. It also wasn’t mentioned by the call handler on the phone.

It has been applied for the last few seasons and is shown at the bottom of this page.
