Paid Members Statto Posted November 7, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 Is the FA Vase the same as the Football League Trophy? Â No, the Football League Trophy is that which is currently known as the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, formerly the LDV Vans Trophy, Auto Windscreens Shield etc. Â FA Vase & FA Trophy both exclusively non-league.

Paid Members Up Chuck Posted November 7, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 Right, cheers. I guess the high level of part-timers means they're not considered competitions for professional clubs, then, for Huckerby's reasoning. Although a professional club absolutely could play in them, if we're being really nit-picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKAC Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Continuing the footballers theme, in his autobiography Darren Huckerby said as far as he was aware, he was the only player to have scored in every major competition in which an English professional club can currently compete - all 4 divisions, FA Cup, League Cup, Football League Trophy, Champions League and Europa League/UEFA Cup. Anyone know of any others?  Would the Community Shield and Super Cup not count?

Â Four of the 50 US states are officially called "Commonwealths" rather than "States" - Kentucky, Virginia, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. No constitutional impact, but it historically derives from the revolutionary period, when those four wanted to emphasise their independent creation, rather than simply being former British colonies who gained independence - the word "commonwealth" being a loose English translation of the Latin "res publica". Â Resultantly, criminal court cases in those four are titled "The Commonwealth vs. ....", as opposed to "The State vs. ..." Â Other than the Commonwealths, there are only five exceptions to the criminal case titlings: New York, Michigan, Colorado, Illinois and California, where they are "The People vs. ..."

Â Sounds silly, but by any chance is that where the term "New England" comes from in association with Massachusetts? Â Don't think so. I'm pretty sure New England was simply called thus because it was a region of America the English first touched upon and colonised. "Massachusetts" is a name from the local native American language. Â Also, New England's a region, not a state. Â Another one: quite well known already, but New York was originally called "New Amsterdam", being a Dutch colony; it was renamed when the English took it off the Dutch. Â Â One more: Â Scottish and Northern Irish banknotes are not legal tender. They are legal currency, which means they can be accepted as valid payment, but the phrase "legal tender" specifically refers to the legitimacy of currency when used to pay off a situation of debt. Â For example: if you eat at a restaurant, before you pay the bill you are in a situation of debt. It is acceptable to pay with Scottish or Northern Irish notes as they are recognised as legal currency, but the restaurant owner, even if the restaurant is in Scotland or Northern Ireland, can legally refuse to accept them on the basis that they are not legal tender. However, sterling notes are legal tender, which means that, in resolution of the existing debt, the creditor cannot refuse to accept payment.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted November 8, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted November 8, 2012 The position of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is actually unpaid. The PM's salary is from his other responsibility as First Lord of the Treasury. Â Of course, it's all technical, like so many things in British institutions and establishments; there's not really much chance of the two posts being separated, so it's de facto the same job.
