The Leicester/Hull Banter Thread

Amy Johnson, Ehab Allam, Nicky Barmby, Dutch_Mountain_Dog, OLM, ......your boys took a hell of a beating!

 

Crawley: Name origin.
In the 5th century, Saxon settlers named the area Crow's Leah—meaning a crow-infested clearing,...

They're organised. They write their own banter. "Crawley 'till they die"

 

Don't forget Roy North, he also took one hell of a beating.

 

Yesterday was ****, we were cheated by officials, we should have won, we deserved to win, Crawley are dirty cheating scum, and someone released our team line up on here. There I said it.

The question is: who am I? (impersonating)

 

Colin ?

Why bother?

Crow infested = infested by flying things = planes flying overhead
Clearing = area free from obstructions to those flying things = car park

 

People who read a lot (ie study) tend to be able to spell.

 

Except dyslexics, a term obviously thought up by the same person that decided on lisp.

 

Bollocks.

 

Welcome aboard Ricardo. I'm glad you've accepted to task and I think you'll make a fine job of it.

 

Spelling correct. What are you studying?

 

Ancient myths and fables. Bollocks was Goldilocks' brother.

 

I am asthmatic and, has a kid, refused to let it hold me back. I even did cross country running in all conditions, and usually finished in the the top 10. It used to annoy the hell out of me when the fat kids who couldn't be bothered used to make out they were asthmatic too as an excuse to get out of PE.

Now in the 21st Century mass communications age, everyone suddenly as dyslexia. Funny that. My sister and dad both have it, and would never use it as an excuse.

 

It's not just an excuse though, my mrs has it real bad and they refused to test her or offer the help all the way through school, so as a result of not learning in the correct way she struggles like **** with her punctuation mainly but she can't spell many words that contain more than 7 or 8 characters. Now she's a grown adult having to learn basic English skills that you'd be taught in your first 3 years at primary school. There's obviously different levels on how much it affects you, my other half is classed as heavily dyslexic, but it's certainly a genuine problem not an excuse to be lazy and **** about in school, however in some cases it obviously is (the wasters).

 

Yeah, that's sounds pretty bad bob, obviously I don't know how old your mrs, is, but I certainly know even when my sister was at school (she's 33), it was often mis-diagnosed as stupidity. Obviously there are different levels, but every dyslexic I've met as been determined not to let it hold them back - many of the world's most successful people have the condition.

Again, I have no problem with people who genuinely have the condition, it's the ignoramuses out there that pass of laziness for a real complaint that bug me.

 

I don't think anyone was trying to pass it off though. I just made the comment to get the lisp comment in, and say dyslexia is a bit of a tricky to spell name to give it given what it is, it looks like someone has had an accident at the Scrabble factory.

 

Nature or nurture? Is it schooling or DNA?

Although anyone who would blame the National Dyslexia Association is out of order in my book.
