Only rarely. It depends on the degree of sarcasm/irony being employed. Sometimes I just employ a constant stream of Anglo-Saxon expletives, but only with under-tens. Yourself?
I speak to my class in an unbearable teachers voice that we have to employ in order to explain things to children. Other than that I type pretty much like I speak. Bollocks or otherwise.
So do I, usually, but it's quite tricky writing in a Hull accent with just a hint of posh. Just a hint, mind you. You don't yell at the little ****s? Whatever is going on in this world?
I dunno, I can't stand watching the game, with its 11 minutes or so of actual action. Cinci in fact has two major teams: The Reds (baseball), and the Bungles (Throwball), but proper football is coming up rapidly on the rails. My 'kids' aged 35 to 48 like Throwball, but I just can't see the point. I believe The Bungles will be playing at Wembley soon.
I can only assume your statement is tongue-in-cheek, as it's not even approximately true, and you appear to be far too astute to swallow the stream of poisonous garbage spouted by the board's notorious Attack Squad. In fact, a quick look shows that you've 'liked' some of them.
More to the point, the lyrics from "Bungle in the Jungle". Lyrics Walking through forests of palm tree apartments Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents Down by the waterhole Drunk every Friday Eating their nuts Saving their raisins for Sunday. Lions and tigers Who wait in the shadows They're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows Let's bungle in the jungle Well, that's all right by me I'm a tiger when I want love But I'm a snake if we disagree Just say a word and the boys will be right there With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder? Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder I'll write on your tombstone, I thank you for dinner This game that we animals play is a winner Let's bungle in the jungle Well, that's all right by me I'm a tiger when I want love But I'm a snake if we disagree The rivers are full of crocodile nastiest And He who made kittens put snakes in the grass He's a lover of life but a player of pawns Yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn To light up His Jungle as play is resumed The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune Let's bungle in the jungle Well, that's all right by me I'm a tiger when I want love But I'm a snake if we disagree Written by Ian Anderson • Copyright © BMG Rights Management US, LLC
The stadium the Cincinnati Bengals play in is known as 'The Jungle'. Is there some more pointed parable buried deep in the message? I can see a rather negative possible interpretation (supported by SCB's 'like'), but I don't think that's your usual style. Maybe I match your self-confessed brickiness?
Man joins Hull City message board and instantly irritates many other members by posting patronising, condescending, inane, non-City drivel. Man continues posting aforementioned drivel, despite other members reactions. Man plays victim card. CSM
You wouldn't remember a Hull accent as shown by your use of lines like "eh by eck" and calling bread cakes barm cakes.You may have been born in Hull but on leaving school went on to further education in Lancashire and after that moved to the USA. This would have been years ago as you're in your 70's now. If the search function was working i could find your own posts as it is this is from memory and happy to be corrected.
