Wealth and privelege by accident of birth has no place in the 21st century. You can say that about a lot of people to be fair, it's not right but it's the lottery of life & I don't think she has done anything objectionable through her time. Her existence is hugely objectionable. Whether she's a nice old biddy or not I couldn't give the slightest fk. Its abhorrent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot blame someone simply due to an accident of birth. You can, however, blame someone for continually creating new accounts on a Scottish Football Forum after being emptied for being an objectionable, aggressive dick. Just my opinion, mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not blaming her, I'm saying to even have a Queen in this day and age is laughable. She should have been working for a living and contributing to society instead of being the biggest benefit scrounger in the history of mankind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst I remember in recent times was Ian Banks (the sadly missed author) reporting that a London PR company had put up posters in the London Underground escalators for one of the Islay whiskies (Laphroaig?) The strapline was "Islay for less outlay" It only makes sense if you pronounce Islay as 'ile-ay' instead of 'ile-ah'. Ignorant c**ts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I'd expect 90+% of Scots would get most of these Gaelic pronunciations wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, but I've honestly never heard "ee-lah". Maybe they use the "ile-ah" pronunciation when they hear my east coast accent. Mrs Gilp (she's an archivist) tells me that Boswell & Johnson used "ila" (ee-lah). However, I'm not interested in admitting them as a source! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I find English people are in general terrible at pronouncing Johnny Foreigner words and names. I'm not sure if this is because growing up with an English accent somehow limits the flexibility of their voice box or if it's just an innate refusal to lower themselves to do so. Our church is supporting a number of Iranian refugees who are constantly amazed that I can pronounce their language reasonably correctly when I'm surrounded by English people who can't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 People who work in the Health and Social Care sector, (specifically Mental Health) who when out with a patient/client/service user don't put their badge away.

It would be the exact same if the clubs were reversed. It is setting a remarkably low bar for yourself and fellow supporters as human beings isn’t it. “As a rangers fan, you might expect me to celebrate the death of a Scottish football legend based on his affiliations with Celtic, but I would like to state that I am not a complete Neanderthal” Ironically though it is exactly how it comes across 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be the exact same if the clubs were reversed. They're probably doing it with the good intention of showing just how widely respected he was across the board and suggesting that petty grievances shouldn't get in the way of appreciation. That and you can't help admire a local guy lifting the European Cup when your own club of a similar size across the city has only ever lifted a Challenge Cup with a group of worldwide-sourced mercenaries. However, all that this highlights is an underlying mentality that there should be some form of background animosity at a personal level, this being based around nothing other than association with a very similar neighbouring club in Judean People's Front fashion. It's therefore no surprise that many of these folk also do the same with different branches of the same religion. Morons. If you really want to join the PFJ, you'd need to really hate the Romans. I do. Oh yeah, how much? A lot. Right, you're in. Edited April 23, 2019 by Hedgecutter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
