On the subject of Stewart, I'm a fan of his and I do think he has the talent like he did when he first arrived. But this is his last chance. He needs to get rid of this weight he has apparently put on and really get his head down and get his confidence back otherwise it will sadly be one of those 'what could have been' careers
Robingram02 - or something like that! Are you for real - anonymity! Got to chortle at that! From your equally uninformed opinion, maybe you might explain how someone who draws professional wages can be berrated by another, nationally acclaimed professional, as overweight and out-of-shape - in other words physically unable to fulfill their contract. Are you defending him? i
How come you Americans say it like that? Just 'a couple times'?! Surely it needs an 'of' in there? Stewart is ****ing his career up big-time. pattyNchips is a bit dim. Think that's everything.

I'm a bit dim?? read her post.. "couple a" is the same as "couple of" I hope that iluminates it for you sir. couldnt you have thought of that? and I am the dim one?
We dont all say stuff like that. There are regional dialects just like there I imagine. If you could hear me talk it would be worse as I talk nothing like I type. If I am drunk the hillbilly slang really comes out and then it gets pretty difficult to understand me even for people here. My buddy from hull makes fun of my use of english sometimes. My dialect can be found here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_American_English In particular a version called the Peidmont Virginia Dialect which is a sub dialect of Southern American English. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piedmont,_Virginia
It's just something that confuses me. I knew you guys said it like that but I thought when writing you'd include the of. Around here we'd kind of pronounce it like "a couple-a times". In fact if we typed anything like we speak it'd just be gibberish, as with most regional accents.
