But it wasn't written down! if you told someone that your name was Aoife or Siobhan, then you would expect them to be able to pronounce ee-fa or shove-on, surely?

I know, but I did notice Shilpa put an Indian dialect to her name when saying it to Jackiey. If you want to get technical about things, there are other ways of pronouncing Irish names than what most non-Irish speaking people think. So what if Jackiey said something that wasn't totally correct, doesn't mean she's a bigot.

Oh please!:rolleyes: I don't hate the working class, I am working class. I don't always like them though.

Wow you really do have an overinflated ego :D

You automatically assume I was aiming that at you directly :confused:

Shows how skewed your perception really is. :rolleyes:

But she wasn't even trying to say it correctly. Perhaps, in isolation, that could be forgivable, but coupled with little vignettes like asking Shilpa if she lived in a shack, yep, I'd say she's a bigot. Shilpa is not exactly a tongue-twister after all.

Maybe. If I was wrong I humbly apologise.
Or maybe I'm reacting to your comment because you have directly quoted me and reacted to mine on more than one occasion.:p
Imagine that?

Hi Drew, please dont have a go at me you seem a lot more intelligent.

Yeah Shilpa should have said it in an English accent clearly.

'Dialect' is not the word you wanted to use surely?

So every comment I make from now on is aimed at you, regardless of whether I have quoted you ? :confused:

And all because I engaged with you a few pages back ?? :confused:

Love your logic :D No really I do :rolleyes:

Well she did say it in an Indian accent when Jackiey asked what her name was, I saw it on Channel 4 news.

Anyhoo, I think people are making a mountain out of a molehill here. Bitchiness and fighting has gone on in all Big Brothers, hell I don't even think Nasty Nick got this much attention and the shit he pulled was far worse than this.

Err, just a gentle suggestion here, but just perhaps she said her name in an Indian accent because she is, you know, Indian? :D

If I was there I'd say my name as clearly as possible to avoid as little confusion as possible, I wouldn't just do it in some rogue Irish accent just to piss someone off. Hey, maybe it's just me. :confused:

So, you have a problem with her saying her name in her own accent? What's rogue about that?:confused:

i'm talking about it being on national news for example, not on a message board

OK, but what are we supposed to do about that. The national media do loads of unpalatable things. No surprises there then.

I didn't really follow the career of S-Club 7 but was Jo always such a strange Pat Butcher/Tony Soprano hybrid? :confused:

No, but she was always an ephemeral and nebulous creature - the S in S Club stands for Spiritless.

I didn't say it was rogue or that I had a problem. I'm just saying other people might like Jackiey, I could walk up to anyone here and start talking the way I talk, which is very fast with a distinct sound which I know would confuse people. If I was in a house and someone had a problem and god forbid asked me what my name was, I'd try my best so they understood it.

I'm sure you would and i'm sure you'd still sound irish becos you ermm are.....same as Shilpa always sounding indian becos she errmm is. :confused:


Anyway it still doesn't excuse certain behaviour in the damn house.
 
Ahem! Leo "Get the fuck off me you fucking bastards" Sayer is a guest on BBBM right now on E4. :)

He hasn't kicked-off yet, but the night is young. (Big Mac put in a legendary performance last night btw).

So, she said her name, in her own accent. Just like we all do. I bet you still sound Irish when you say your name, I know I do. And if the person I was talking to repeatedly got my simple two syllable name wrong I'd think they were taking the piss. If they then asked me if I lived in a boreen or only ate potatos I'd think they were a bigotted fuck.

I swear she (Jackie) said "That Indian" in her exit interview. It's ignorance-led racism, and Jackie is too unhinged to know herself that deeply. In a way it's not her fault - it's not unusual for a lesbian ex-prostitute with one arm and a habit to find it a little difficult to be objective.

Her daughter, Jade, is her mum's daughter. She's come a long way, but she's still infected by the same stupidity. Her other half, Jack, is both loyal and stupid - and clearly has the same quantity of ignorance to his name, he's truly awful.

And as for Danielle, the glamour model come football player tart, how come she was all up tight when her tits flapped out in the task? Attention-seeking moron, no value to her whatsoever, and she's got that inner ugliness (the classic footballer's wife syndrome) to try to gang with a group - and the best way to do that is what I see as the Southern mentality - pick on a less popular person to galvanise a group.

It's all cruel, shows no self knowledge or control, and I hope to god that none of those three Stepford Wives ever have (any more) children, so their particular strand of DNA can atrophy and die out.

*Edited to add: Or at least never, ever, ever appear on my TV again - and yes, I know I can turn it off, but I'm 'the public", too, and like many a victim of cathode ray nipple conditioning.

i'm not expecting anyone to do anything about it

my only involvement on this thread was to highlight the hypocrisy of the holier than thou bandwagon that seems to have been kick started today on the national news & media
