Duncan hates LGBTQ people and criticises Kier Starmer, he doesn't kneel for BLM or like Joe Biden he's practically a Nazi .

You ****ing stupid butt hurt gimp of a man .

Did he tell them about the 50 grand he pocketed from Rishi? He loves rolling that one out.

An Englishman that wants his country to fail because he's pro EUROPEAN UNION and a Norwich fan that hopes the opposition finish above him and goes on their board to lick their bums.

What a tragic cuck .
 
Gladly, P.

"****in" is not a contraction of words. It is a slang spelling of "****ing". Hence, in my low opinion, the apostrophe is not correct.

I refer you to the 1972 Michael Jackson song “Rockin’ Robin” and the 1970 Neil Diamond song “Cracklin’ Rosie”, both of which peaked at number three on the UK charts, and the 1970 number two by Peter, Paul and Mary “Leavin’ On A Jet Plane” as examples of the trailing apostrophe being applied to indicate the truncation of a word.

Thirty-nine post officer workers who were wrongly accused of theft due to an IT error have had their names cleared. The appellants, some of whom were imprisoned for crimes they never committed, were convicted of fraud and false accounting because of the Post Office’s defective Horizon accounting system.

I saw a news report on this yesterday. Some sub-post office owners were made bankrupt and even sent to prison for faults and glitches in the system the Post Office insisted they introduce. Each person was charged individually, nobody knew that there were others being done for the same thing until much later and nobody at the Post Office put two and two together to suss that it was their own software that had caused the issue.

With some having done time and others losing everything I can see the compo for this going through the roof. Expect the cost of a stamp to go up!

Blimey, sensitive bunch those Hornets! Even dragging QPR into it on their thread. All we are saying is that we want to beat Norwich, what has it got to do with them?

Having said that if you get the R's board on a bad day they can be equally as humourless. We've been known to have our head up the proverbial on more than one occasion. I blotted my copybook on the RIP thread ages ago so tend to steer clear of anything contentious other than posting videos of Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep on the music thread, I right I will defend to my dying day.

These are what Ponders called 'elisions' (I admit I didn't know they were called that <laugh>) and, as is my understanding, are not necessary. They are a linguistic affectation.

Normally you see them in novels where the author uses them in character dialogue to indicate some kind of accent and such like.

I'm willing to have my understanding corrected (by Ponders). If I am corrected I will issue another bonus to monny by way of reparation (to whom I already gave a bonus for the unnecessary usage, but neither did I chide him because it isn't incorrect)
