Accent,

It's called an accent.

In the midlands it’s called a “haccent”.

Just now I saw a post which referenced "Lidl's and Aldi's"

Well...they may be visiting several Tescos in the plural...:D but still an apostrophe is not required.

I have already pulled an OP elsewhere for writing the greatest hits of the "90's".

We had a power cut last night and this morning, the result is that the office is cold and so is the water.

One of the students is loudly demaning that she is allowed go home as she cant wash her hands in freezing water, she cant stand being 'dirty' and why cant someone' fix it?.

TA she'll probablay get away with doing home for the rest of the day and one of us will have to work till 8am to cover.

we are not in the middle of nowhere, there are baby wipes and other sinks within walking distance.

Maurice the phantom mouse. Discovered his presence by accident, half-eaten spud that escaped the bag. All doors now shut in the house, need to rummage through each room to isolate him. Bastard.

They'd be correct if they used it with names, surnames, or with professions (chemist, baker, butcher, greengrocer, etc) because the "'s" would be used as Saxon genitive, i.e. to indicate "the shop belonging to". LIDL, ALDI and TESCO aren't in this category, though, while Clery and Dunne (mind you, Dunnes is the name of the chain, though) are. It would be interesting to see if they ever had an apostrophe.

Entice him with Polish sausage (not a euphemism! ) They can't resist the stuff. Poor Maurice. He's probably a field mouse and came in to get warm (and eat a spud )

There was a Carlovian chef on the afternoon show with Daithi last week and I don't think she pronounced a t once in the whole piece, 'just fill it up with waher there'

Poor Maurice indeed. Missed the champagne reception, so he'll receive a belt of the hurl instead. And if the filthy wretch skips out on a hot date with death, he's welcome to warm himself in the nearest sewer.

You're a cruel, cruel man, Bertie.

Poor Maurice.

My TA is that we risk having the ICRR going under within days (rescue helicopter service in Cork). I can't get over how they have made appeals to raise 400k but haven't even yet reached 12k!!!!

You often see people setting up Go Fund Me pages for very trivial things and easily reaching their targets but a community air ambulance service is being snubbed by the public!?! I just can't understand it. This is a service that people were crying out for and now that they have it and it needs their support, they are nowhere to be seen.

I've submitted by donation and I really hope more people will start donating. It's a service you hope you or your loved ones will never need but it's good to have just in case.

They have already saved in excess of 200 lives since they went operational in July of last year.

With an x, rather than a K.

So, sicksth as opposed to sikth. Think of how you say six and add -th, whereas I noticed someone say it like sick with a -th on the end. Now it's absolutely ubiquitous and I cannot unhear it. Everyone on English TV does it..... Its the same as all the RTÉ wenches who call the guards 'the gore-THEE".

That's a shame. What is their fundraising page?

Blitzkrieger · 10-01-2020 9:05pm

Incomplete/misleading news reports.

I heard a report on the radio that someone was crowing about hospital waiting lists having 10,000 fewer people on them this month than last. So? I'd suspect given that since it was the Christmas period it's probably more down to fewer people being added to the list than normal, rather than people being taken off it. Given the time of year there's probably more people on the lists dying than average too.

Also the report said there was almost 600,000 on the lists, so 10,000 doesn't seem like a big chunk.

Going to need a lot more information/clarification before anyone gets credit, but I suspect we'll see a lot more of this bull**** with talk of elections in the air.....

You're welcome! Hopefully they'll raise the full amount. Worthy cause.

My TA is the constant use of the word "Sustainable". Every time I listen to any discussion on the radio this word invariably pops up, usually several times. I remember the phrase " Grass roots" in the 1970s was a constant irritant, and "Sustainable / Unsustainable" is the annoying word these days.
