Honest Saints Fan Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Meant to be hosting a work dinner next year and need a good speaker or entertainment. Last year I had a gospel choir that went down really well and everyone loved and I don't know how to top it. Anyone seen any good speakers lately? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy’s got a whole bunch of entertaining stories, they’re a bit far fetched though. Not sure about his availability for next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother hired Neil Warnock and he cancelled at the last minute. Maybe best to avoid him. And - despite being a Bairn - he has hired Jim Leishman more than once. Speaks highly of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while we're at it, it's fucking Holyrood not Hollyrood. Given how much effort went into getting the parliament in the first place it's "heads gone" thread territory for me every time I watch the news. And it's Nigh-kay, not Nike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) I'm always torn with the Adidas & Nike thing. On one hand I know that it should be ahdee-das and nigh-kee, but on the other hand don't want to be on the receiving end of... Eta: Same with ah-SINT (emphasis on the 2nd syllable) for Assynt.
