From the page: “You may already know the important of having a persuasive headline or title for your blog article etc. . . . however I am guessing you have never given too much thought to how critical including a P.S. (Post Script) is to your sales or written messages.

Your P.S. is the second most read element of your written copy, after your headline, subject line or the title of your blog article.”

Some transfers come to light only when a footballer is spotted relaxing on the yacht of a rival club’s billionaire owner or dining at the favourite restaurant of their chief executive, but a young Crystal Palace player has moved the whole business into the modern era by posting details of a proposed move on his Facebook page.

Robinson posted a message on Saturday which read: “Ashley-Paul is goin fulham on monday. If i pull dis off im on dis ting.” On Sunday he added: “Ashley-Paul is travling 2 Bath With Fulham Fingers Crossed.”

After news of the move spread, he posted a new message yesterday afternoon saying: “Ashley-Paul has been very naughty lol!”

In 1951, London’s skyline was transformed, as part of the Festival of Britain, by the erection of one of the most striking structures ever built in this country: the Skylon. The Skylon was a 300 ft tower – an architectural and engineering marvel.

The Skylon was a 300ft tall, cigar-shaped structure that was suspended 40ft off the ground on the South Bank. Constructed in 1951 for the Festival of Britain it was torn down a year later and sold for scrap.

Now leading architects want to re-create it in time for the 60th anniversary of the Festival of Britain in 2011.
