Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Try turning one over, then see what happens. I watched with interest as the barkeep changed another one and f**k me he's only put cricket on, I'm out of here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone must have done this before I came in as there were quite a few that looked like their meds had just kicked in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 News just in, I thought a telly had been turned over to Dr Who, turns out it's a guy with one of those throat Mic things, I want to hear him when he's had a few. Saw a guy once remove the mike and take a drag of a cigarette through the hole. I like to see some dedication in adversity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Just sounds to me like they're saying "vulva". Exactly. Why not Volvo? It's the Swedish equivalent of an Aberdonian trying to say Ford. Or pork. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillonearth Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Exactly. Why not Volvo? It's the Swedish equivalent of an Aberdonian trying to say Ford. Or pork. Seems a bit counterproductive - it's a brand that's already in the public consciousness, and after this amount of time it's not like we're going to switch en masse to saying it that way. On the bright side, anyone that does will just be outing themselves as a pretentious fanny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care incidently, I still call it Lidl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bright side, anyone that does will just be outing themselves as a pretentious fanny. There's definitely some brand realignment going on. We're mean to think a vulva/woolwa is some sort of prestige product and not think about some old beast in a dodgy hat driving a 343 hanging around primary schools. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) I've not seen the ad, but it sounds like they're maybe going with the actual Swedish pronunciation, as a lot of their language sounds nothing like the way it's spelled - bit like English in that respect. You've got the likes of Goteborg for example pronounced more or less to rhyme with "kookaburra", and if one in a thousand foreigners managed to pronounce Vaxjo correctly first time, I'd be amazed. More like Yeutibeuryeh but I get your point. That's why the city encourages the use of "Gothenburg" internationally to protect foreigners sounding like village idiots. http://international.goteborg.se/ Edited July 16, 2015 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I bought a new home brew kit today (Mexican beer), but after doing some research it appears I'll not be able to keg brew it as, let's face it, beer served at 18c would taste shite. Means I'll need to buy a shit load of Grolsch in the coming weeks/months for the bottles to brew it in, and in the meantime go and buy an IPA to keg brew. Baws. Wilko for seal top Grolsch style bottles. I got twelve of them the other week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
