    Am I the only one who is driven mad by the way 'tangy' is pronounced in the new Supermacs ad on the radio? What do you think?




    I wonder could I get 'tang-gee' sauce for my 'hang sangwichs'.

    Let's hear it. You should do us all a valuable service by demonstrating how to pronounce "tangy."

    I thought the zingy sounded worse than the tangy to be honest.

    Whats wrong with it?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
