Large amount of male homosexuals, in the past i've met my fair share, due to work etc. Out of all of it, i've only met one who i could truly get along with.

Maybe that's because you don't give them a chance you homophobic bigot? What you said to me on MSN that day was horrible, you insensitive scumbag, yet you don't know me at all and just made an assumption about me. Ever considered people's feelings when you're saying stuff like that or does your brain lack that function?

Quite honestly I don't care if I get banned for this, but you sir, need a bloody telling.

****s like you are the reason I have no faith in the world anymore.

Well I won't be the one banning you.

Although, to prevent an outbreak of World War III in this thread, can you please continue your discussion via PM. Thanks.

Yeah, sorry Dan I just struggle to contain myself sometimes. It's probably what he wants anyway.

I'm on your side, just so you know. But if you get on MSN everyday, why not just block him? Saves you loads of hassle.

Are we allowed to call them Duffs? More appt. imo

BTW, you've spelt Lords wrong

Morris dancing. So cringeworthy yet they claim it's traditional, in fact it isn't traditional or representative of anything and is frankly bizarre.

I never liked 'Duffs' as that implied they were sub-standard - they have done sterling work for BR since 1962 and, yes, they have had their problems, but they deserve more respect than they get.

As for Lords/Lordz - both get a big thumbs down, but when people spell it Lordz, it makes me cringe!

 

[Broken Viking]

People who use the phrases 'My Lordz' or 'Hellfire!'

I must admit that I use both expressions every so often, but I always do so in a humerous or sarcastic context. It's a good phrase for messing about with, but I couldn't call it and be serious at the same time!

Morris dancing. So cringeworthy yet they claim it's traditional, in fact it isn't traditional or representative of anything and is frankly bizarre.

Actually, Morris Dancing is based on Pagan tradition, and has been practised for (I believe) at least the last 3,350 years or so.

The basic idea behind the Morris dance is to drive away Daemons and other unsavoury spirits from a village, settlement, or place of gathering. The function of the bells is fairly obvious in that context, whereas the dance itself is intended to allow the dancer to safely evade the Spirit in question whilst still attempting to drive it away.

Of course, in todays World the Morris dancer succeeds more in driving the townsfolk away from the town rather than the evil Spirits they may be targeting...But I do sometimes wonder if Morris Dancers could be used to banish Chavs from town centres and other public places...

Calendars that have Sunday as the start of the week.

But the railway week starts on a Sunday?

 

[Mojo]

I know, it always confuses me when the roster clerk calls up and asks me on a Monday to work next week on Sunday.

The start of the week is Monday, it's in ISO8601 and Sunday is the WeekEND.

The start of the week is Monday, it's in ISO8601 and Sunday is the WeekEND.

Personally, I prefer a Sunday start to the week. it means that I get a day to relax at either end of the week, rather than having to wait for those two days that always seem ages away!
(That, and a Sunday start was always the British standard IIRC. ISO standards didn't come in until much later. )

Another thing that really gets on my case: People killing harmless and loveable little critters (Spiders, Bees, Wasps, Hornets etc) for no appropriate or otherwise valid reason... ad::cry:

 

[Mojo]

Depends on how you put it, for Abrahamic religions Sunday is the first day but most of Europe has Monday as the first day of the week.

Most people work Monday-Friday and therefore Monday is the first day of the week!

The irony of course is that I prefer the Sunday start convention as a matter of routine...But being an Asatrúer who hails Thor as his patron God, the "holy day" in my week is actually Thursday - Or Thors' Day, as it's properly known - And thus my week should thereoretically start on a Thursday or Friday!

People who say..

"Norridge" for Norwich
"Edin-berg" for Edinburgh
"Mary-le-bone" or "Marry-le-bone" for Marylebone
"egg-sit" for exit.

Not sure which is the most annoying, but Americans always get Edinburgh wrong, and people from outside London often get Marylebone wrong (the y is silent).

 

[EM2]

How should you pronounce Marylebone? I always say 'Marry-le-bone'...

Absolutely nothing wrong with Morris Dancing. Its fun to watch, fun to take part in, and the people who do take part are some of the best, most down-to-earth folk around.
Now what irritates me is football. It may be worthwhile as a mild bit of exercise, but the way it is assumed that all of us are mob-followers interested in the "professional" game just gets my goat. Millions poured into "businesses" run by half-wits who think that "buying" a player is an investment and not an example of working practices from the middle ages. "Clubs" that don't have members, but exist in a financial lala land that would make the average investment banker blush. But, in particular, the way that authorities throughout the UK can claim they are providing sports facilities for the general public simply because the call an open field a football pitch, and then make it unusable for other sports. And all for 90 minutes every other week which can be condensed into 30 seconds of "highlights". Utter madness

 

[JustinStacey.x]

I would say 'Marril-bone', in a Scottish accent that comes out as 'Marlbone'.

 

[yorkie]

The y is silent, "Marleybone" is how it should be pronounced.

It's like Leicester is pronounced "Lester"; the the c is silent. This appears to be the case for all "cester" places except Cirencester. e.g. Bicester, Worcester, etc.
