    To be fair, a hell of a lot of people still say "tape" instead of "record". It'll be around for a while yet.

    Tippex is still available. It's useful for a myriad purposes other than as a correction fluid. I recently bought a Tippex pen, which is very handy for inscribing on black or dark coloured plastic. I also have an IBM golfball that has its own correction ribbon. And the machine itself is a joy to hear and use. Also got two old manual typewriters in great nick.

    It's ok to say the word . . . if you're one of the Brothers. But not the O'Connells or Synge St type.


  • Registered Users Posts: 283 ✭✭ttenneb


    You could/can get something called Tippex thinner- it thinned out the original fat blob of Tippex you poured out onto your original mistake and made it, erm, thinner:P

    WRONG. Tippex thinner was added to the bottle of Tippex in which the liquid had begun to thicken up and had become too tacky to use. The slightly diluted mix then worked like new.

    PS - See earlier post on Tippex pen.

    I used to say the rhyme without knowing what n1gger meant, I imagined it was some kind of bird!!

    Also when I started secondary school, nearly thirty years ago, the uniform we had to purchase was, according to the letter we got before starting, 'N1gger Brown'!! Even then I thought it more than a little strange.

    Long ago, young fellas (I was one once) would see another guy eating an apple and before it was thrown away the hungry waifs would scrounge a quick bite with the butt. (some lads would eat stalk and pips)

    He's working like a black.

    Not being one of the PC brigade I've no difficulty with this phrase but I don't tend to use it much any more as I rarely see someone who fits the bill. :D

    Nice one. A lot of explaining to younger readers is needed for this. It's not a reminder from the proprietor of a house of ill repute, but refers to the time limit on a standard call on the old public telephones.
