Bigsby Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 "Norfolk and Chance" is my favourite, last time we used it was at a Girls' Brigade Quiz Night, you should have seen the look on the "Chief Girl" or whatever they are called after she read it out and the whole place erupted, classic.

Bigsby Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 My favourite team name that I've ever used was "Ratso died on a bus" (reference to Midnight Cowboy). We used it at the Belmont Film Quiz and the film-buff quizmaster took such offence that he refused to read out our name. We were too scared to use it again. The look in his eyes haunts me.That's a sad bit.But the bit that REALLY gets me in that film is when Jon Voight is absolutely broke, he's lost all his money and his dream of being a gigolo has gone tits up, he goes into a cafe and all he can afford are some crackers, then the crackers break and he gets tomato sauce on his white jeans! Talk about shitty luck.I'm welling up just thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig WTW Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I was in a cafe last week and on the blackboard above the counter someone had written "why not try are new chicken tikka sandwich?"Seriously, "try ARE new...."I had to leave!

Lemonade Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I was at a Disability Discrimination Act training session at one of my old jobs, and the trainer said "They don't wanted to be tret differently, they want to be tret the same as everyone else".Bad grammar is irritating enough, but making up entirely new words is another thing altogether.

Guest treader. Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 i remember on "This Morning with Richard not Judy" they had a 5 minute rant about greengrocers using the sign "CARROT'S 30P" and the intricacies (sp?) of how a carrot could possess currency.

soundian Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Yes, it is incorrect. At the risk of sounding like a pantomime... Oh no it's not. Seriously, do some checking. It might be frowned upon, it might be considered bad style, but it is not incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
