It's more a case of comprehension than the need for Specsavers.
I quote, with my helpful brackets:
"Wrong. Me (1), both daughters (2&3), one daughter boyfriend (4), mate me and the eldest are staying with (5) and my mate, the judge(6)"
I grant you the grammar is dodgy, but you say you're not bothered by that. This underlines why you should be. :) <ok>

Lol, i got confused cause i read it as this

""Wrong. Me (1), both daughters (2&3), one daughter boyfriend (4), mate (5). me and the eldest are staying with and my mate, the judge"

I thought list ended at mate, then saying him and his eldest staying at that same mate, who is also known as the judge <doh>

It could easily read like that. It's ambiguous, which is why sometimes grammar is more than just pedantry.<smugbastardsmiley>
I was going on the fact that he had 6 tickets and explained who they were for - there had to be 6 people in there, you just had to find them.
A sort of literary Where's Wally?

Are you being deliberately thick? I use only perfect grammar.

1. Me
2. Eldest daughter
3. Youngest daughter
4. Youngest daughter's boyfriend, George
5. Mate in London I'm staying with
6. The Judge

Whoever retitled this thread is quite au-fait with the French language to know the difference between the masculine Le and the feminine La and to choose between them. They have correctly identified that 'fromage' is a masculine object in French so Le would be the correct prefix, as in 'Le Fromage Nouveau' but curiously refrain from using the actual French.

Instead, in the title of the thread 'Cheesique' appears to be a hybrid word used in place of 'fromage', drawing on anglophone and francophone influences. Usually the noun dictates gender in a phrase or sentence and determines the gender of an adjective, but here it cannot. So in this instance we are really referring to the word 'nouveau' (m) or 'nouvelle' (f) for gender, which could be either Le or La since it this adjective has dual gender. As a result it's hard to tell which way to treat the object. This betrays some reluctance to fully embrace our neighbouring cross-channel lingo and leaves something of a gender conundrum

Genders don't exist anymore anyway. <ok>

I think you're right. He's wrong and you're right. He doesn't know what the **** he's talking about. Which means there's a spare ticket for me. <ok>
