The question of grammar aside, I have to put in my 101 the non pronunciation of the th. How hard is it to pronounce th?? Fink? fort? etc. :twisted:

ouch, Eve.

I cannot say words beginning in ‘th’. I always use ‘f’. So instead of sayng thought, I say, fought, or fort.

It’s true. When I was 10 and 11, I had to go to speech clinic to…[Read more]

Tel, I’m not getting into a yes it does, no it doesn’t debate. That’s for morons.And I welcome the cosmopolitan nature of the economy. I maintain good relations with Polish people, who are good people on the whole. Their accent doesn’t bother me.

The main problem lies in regulating a decent wage for all to make sure everyone’s wages aren’t…[Read more]

Just love the way that somebody has to bring immigrants into it. Typical. :roll:

in full agreement with you there, Panda

wow, who to answer in a serious political/economic discussion????

Terry, the UKIP is a right-wing nationalist party. I said that neo-Nazi and nationalist politics were on the rise in Europe in reaction to the crisis – I don’t see the UKIP as neo-nazi, but I don’t see the majority of BNP supporters (or Le Pen supporters) as neo-Nazi – voting for…[Read more]

Eve is absolutely right about Hitchcock letting us use our own minds to scare the hot chocolate out of each other.

I remember being terrified when a kid watching a tv Hitchcock where some guy arranges an insurance scam whereby he pretends to die and is buried, arranging a narrow air vent to allow him to breathe in his coffin six foot under.…[Read more]

Kenty, Terry.

Kenty, that is the reality of housing. The OAP home-owners vs the kids – who’s gooing to get to the mortgage first? And for those without a mortgage – well, oh dear. And how to stop people getting pregnant??? *wields a giant pair of scissors

A very different set-up is needed to my way of thinking, based on cooperation and care…[Read more]

I am like Gomez Addams when it comes to French. Speaking in la langue d’amour gives me goosepimples and makes me want to give Morticia little pebble-kisses up her arm

oh
sorry
ahem *tries to maintain dignity

when I first went to France, I genned up on me textbook French but couldn’t understand a word once there. They all spoke so fast, not like…[Read more]

I can’t see anything in the news about his return to British politics…I know he’s always lurking round the edges, wanting a New Labour revival via David Miliband.

I remember Miliband when he was hanging around the postgrad common room at Corpus. He would hold court with several sycophants hanging on his every word. Something quite creepy about…[Read more]

well, I know of a far better speaker on the same days, much more inspirational and £10 less to see.

I am talking of…..

I am organising a series of talks at the Barbican Centre on How to Fail Miserably and Without Any Dignity At All.

I am a startling speaker who can empty the biggest hall in double quick time. I am tryng to get people in…[Read more]

MM, you are ijn a worrying state.

Could I point you to your local Salvation Army hostel, where they’ll provide you with clothes and a clothesline to hang onto overnight. Life can be bad, but wiht hellp fomr the Sally Army you can move on

Right, wordy, vengeance for Capt Scott lol

This is partly thwarted by your recognition that William Wallace didn’t get to Derby (I think twas York, though that is memory – I have a long memory lol).

The Jacobites got there because they wanted the Young Pretendeer on the British throne. They were aiming for London, not Scottish independence. In…[Read more]

Words, I am so going to get my vengeance lol

In fact, both bits are bliddly cold.

But he perished in the South lol

Mrs T, I envy you. I’ve never seen those lights.

Panda, I’m sorry. Why is that? I’ve not followed a lot of your posts, but you stick up for yourself fomr what I’ve seen. Maybe it’s something more, I really don’t know.

Anyway, I genuinely hate the idea of anyone beng excluded from a community; it really does upset me. Sometimes some people act in…[Read more]

It’s been said that when people chat using a different name it soon becomes obvious to others as they give themselves away… By the way words they use and their ‘signature’ if you like becomes apparent. There’s nothing wrong in that providing it’s all above board,in good fun or just for a change with no malicious intent.

However…

when I was at Junior school, I thought WW2 was just a story, and that was just a bit over 10 years after it finished. 2We won the war – in nineteen forty four’, we chanted, oblivious to historical accuracy. It seemed such a world away – it was a world away. Hitler was a character who seemed to arouse hatred, but he was as distant as Napoleon (he…[Read more]

Mrs T; Panda:

The Arctic, Mrs T??

Are you attempting to recreate Captain Scott’s Last Expedition?

Do tweet your final moments to the room lol

Panda,

My sentiments exactly. Same goes for the likes of Coathanger and her stories. A name changing abuser. A troll. But sadly lauded in here because of her choice of subject matter.

So your saying you’ve never…
