The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 23rd May 2012

This may be a bit of a longshot, but:

Highwaymen in balkan countries are known as Hajduk.

HNK Hajduk Split are the club of Ante Vukusic, a player we've been linked with.

^ great shout, BUT... why in Dutch?

Erm...Nope, haven't a clue. Back to the drawing board.

In 1933, a setting of the poem for chorus (SATB) and small orchestra by the English composer C. Armstrong Gibbs received its first performance at Winchester College Music School

That's from The Highwayman's wiki page.

We're re-signing Chris Armstrong.

I would say because the player is Dutch, simple as that. Sometimes, well more often than not actually, far too much gets read into the analysis of cryptic ITK when in fact the answer is simple and right under our noses.

Dutch highwayman...

think he meant why post the poem in dutch when his shout was about Ante Vukusic who i presume is croatian.

Guys. Don't neg rep the people that post information in the ITK thread. Chrissvad posted Storts info and got neg repped. He's only posting it. You are saying you dislike him being helpful. That's silly.

Dutch highwayman...

I think whenever somebody does it we should go through their posts and neg-rep the shit out of them.

 

[StartingPrice]

Adam Ant was The Dandy Highway Man

Robben? It's whay highwaymen do

I think it's just an error in understanding the system here, rather than something nefarious or mean. They are saying they don't like the ITK and I am fine with that because it was a cryptic and some people hate them. Fair play.

But they unduly attached blame to the wrong source. They just need to think it through. And I just thought it unfair on Chris, who has very little neg points to get some for doing a bang up job as a mod.

 

[HappySpur]

Not bad at all, but he stated that it was one for the future and at 28, it would seem that wouldn't apply him. Just a note....I cannot believe Robben is only 28. I thought he was in his early 30's

Yeah I guess neg-repping them loads would be a bit unfair if it's just a misunderstanding. But neg-reps beget neg-reps, dog-eat-dog, survival of the fittest. You know what I'm saying?

 

[N17ForLife]

Could KJH be considered as a journeyman given his amount of clubs?

 

[hybridsoldier]

I could be totally making this up but I thought I had heard of Huntelaar referred to as the highwayman as a nickname (aside from "the hunter")but like I said I could have got that totally wrong.
