EHertsGER Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Isn't it ironic that the very place that fought so hard to get out of the (then) Empire is the last bastion of the Imperial system Well, we have some catching up to do..and now you have gone all non-European on us. Bloody confusing now butchers in Devon are flogging meat in pounds and ounces again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHertsGER Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 But, "modeling" doesn't roll off the tongue quite as nicely as "modelling" ! Strictly speaking 'modeling' should rhyme with 'yodeling', surely...sounds a bit pretentious to me... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHertsGER Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 OOh / 00h can we have gauge pronunciation war (just for a change like)? So does 'P4' come put as something akin to 'pshaw!' as an expression of disgust (don't start on the P4/S4/Protofour tangle all over again, please!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymw Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 After a seven-month deployment to the Western Pacific the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln was finally inching up to the pier at San Diego’s North Island Navy base. Looking down from the bridge the ship’s Captain noticed a sailor on the flight deck waving intently with semaphore flags. He also spotted an attractive young woman standing on top of a mini-van in the parking lot who was waving semaphore flags.Always concerned about security and never having seen something like this before, the Captain barked at his duty signalman, "What message are those two people sending?"The signalman concentrated intently and quickly reported, "Sir, he is sending FOXTROT-FOXTROT (FF) and she is sending ECHO-FOXTROT (EF)."Not having any clue as to what these messages could mean, the Captain dispatched an armed Marine to escort the flag waving sailor up to the bridge.The young sailor arrived, out of breath from climbing up the many ladders leading to the bridge, saluted smartly, and said, "Seaman Endicott reporting as ordered, sir!""Seaman", the said Captain gruffly, "who is that woman on the pier and why are you exchanging signals FF and EF with her?""Sir, that's my wife, sir, and she wants to eat first!" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted June 29, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'm confused. If the joke contains unacceptable offensive material, what is the purpose it may serve? Genuine question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymw Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hi,My intention was not to cause any offense, and if so, then the 'joke' should have been deleted either by me, or by a moderator. fwiw, my social studies paper, written many years ago, was about 'the psychology of humour', and many jokes pick on those who are a bit outside the perceived norm e.g. earlier someone mentioned about an 'overweight Barnsley lass' and others wrt 'bass players', even folk embedded in their mobile phones, etc. However, there is no anti prejudice legislation in place protecting such folk so I should have realised, that in a public forum, the 'dog joke' could be seen as something that it was not intended to be. Anyway, something to reflect on http://www.ted.com/talks/kathryn_schulz_on_being_wrong Best wishes, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting that Gordon Banks is blind in one eye, after his car crash. But the question still remains, how many would the surviving members of the 1966 squad, beat the current squad by?
