Its national plain english day today so it is..

[FamilyWiggs]

Middi - :lol: I think we all struggled with that one! I think Rob had some assistance from Messrs Google & Co - or our very own classically educated and erudite Mr Nigel Watts. I know it wasn't Joce who helped him because she has been tied up for some time now trying to open the cd tray on Mr Chris' new computer. :wink:

What I think Rob was trying to say, is that "the way PPUK threads often drift onto unrelated and difficult topics (expressed in complex language) sometimes confuses Rob, and causes him to think hard about the meaning of some posts, which is annoying because he is not the most intellectual person in the world. As you point out, not everyone uses long words."

After that sentence, I think he does himself a disservice! 8)

 

[middi]

"Disservice" is an understatement to say the least, and you have been very diplomatic in your comments to his " goobleydigooch" (... spelling??).

What you really wanted to say was was:- " stick to bricks, mortar and beams in your future posts otherwise we will all reply to you in " proper" English ".

(You know, the kind of English which was learned at the same school that the sex pistols attended)

I shall have a word with him :wink:

I quite agree, FF, and Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park, shaves in the dark, trying to save paper.



And between you and me, I think you'll find it's corazon :wink:

......" discombulation"......( ??????)

What happened to the plain English day. No doubt that " that" word may be plain English to some of you, so, please have some consideration for the less gifted on the academic front.

If that word was used during Arthur Scargil's era everybody would have been on strike for manipulation of the workforce.

Middi

Negatory , Fellow plebians , I was merely explicating on from the above ascertainment made by Middi, I would exclusively like to elucidate this moiety.

please have some consideration for the less gifted on the academic front

I too am less gifted on the academic front and have trouble understanding some big words.

He does indeed. Full marks! :lol:

As for 'carazon', I've no idea of the correct spelling or pronunciation but it sounds exactly like 'carathon' on the album.

 

[Penners]

"Corazon" is Spanish for "heart" - it's also a term of endearment, similar to our "darling" (and the Thpaniardth pronounth "z" as "th").

I suspect that John, George and Paul may not have completed the full Spanish pronunciation course. :wink:
