I reached in the fridge for the milk to put in my morning coffee (heartstarter). The expiry date on the bottle was 11 JUL 16. My initial reaction was "That's 5 years out of date!"

I've been using sortable date formats for years, so year month day is a natural parse for me. I just have to remember that it's not natural to everyone else.

well, I guess, this being a forum inhabited largely by software type people, thats acceptable (elsewhere, I have to force myself not to '/' my '0's because I get funny looks .....)

It's the sortable date layout. I've done the same kind of thing myself.

Just saw an article: What is driving Wales' stunning Euro 2016 success? What do they have that other teams don't?
Isn't it obvious - they have sheep!!!
It is truly remarkable. A team didn't even qualified for nothing sine 1962 (44 years!)...

Well, Kornfeld, I must say "baa" to the idea that the secret of the current Welsh soccer renaissance lays with in their sheep.
I think it's poetry; did you know that there has been an annual poetry/bard contest in Wales since the 12th. century (A.D. in the Christian calendar) ? [^].
cheers, Bill

England has sheep (the UK as a whole is the 8th most sheep populous country in the world) and it didn't do them much good. I think ewe is trying to ram in a bit of wooly thinking there.
The reason for Wales' success is much simpler. They've hit upon this weird and exotic tactic of scoring goals - too old school for all those modern coaches in other countries but there you go! Highest scorers in the tournament and the only team averaging 2 per game.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

You don't mean...
...no, it can't be that simple...
...more goals equals you win the game? 
Why did nobody tell the England manager that years ago?

Are you saying that the game is not all about complaining? Are you sure? There are any sources to support your theory?
