Ahem.

Ball Hopper · July 27, 2007, 07:30:16 PM

Ahem...I suppose you think it is "Tadhg"...well it can be either.

Certainly is not "Tagh" anyway.

Ah leave us be, I've seen worse than what's on here.

You're a while man Hardy

Tut, tut, it's "you're a wild man Hardy"!

Comment: Of all the names ever created, I would expect our Northern friends to get the spelling of "Tadgh" correct.

I believe the typesetter was from 'down south' , and whoever he/she was turned the young Clarke protégé into a female (protégée [sic])!

Sure didn't Jerome put us in his book of 2002 with a number of verbatim quotes. BTW, am I due any royalties of that Big J?

Silke (if what's been said here is true) is not the only journalist to have stolen material from here and presented it as his own.

I agree with those who are driven mad by misplaced apostrophes, etc. And I have to live with "leave" for "let" all the time down here and it'd give you a toothache. Especially when they get it wrong the other way around as well - "let me alone"! Can I also protest at Northerners here saying "I seen that". It's "I saw", OK? And "I have seen". It's not hard. And what does the adverb "while" mean? "It was while long" ? ? ? ?

(I'm pissed off that I didn't get a grumpy nomination).

Another language Fascist.

Chill out Hardy the Queen's English sounds much better the way be have managed to bastardise it.

You never know - language fascism might become respectable some day too.

I was thinking of introducing punishments - beat lads on the kneecaps with a big dictionary till they get it right.

Can I just add, from the very start I said the Gaelic Life was a good paper

I'm going to vote for you on the funny thread Hardy.

Bitter sweet getting such recognition yet you're all still anonymous?

ziggysego · July 28, 2007, 08:07:59 PM

Apparently everyone knows who I am anyway. I can't go to a game now, without hearing "Hey Ziggy!"

It's annoying, as they never tell me who they are!
