Well it isn't quite the same thing. Having said that it was raised with concern on this thread, certainly by Danny La Rouge.
i'm talking about it being on national news for example, not on a message board

Chairman Meow said: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?
Rutita1 said:Oh please! I don't hate the working class, I am working class. I don't always like them though.
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.N_igma said: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.

You automatically assume I was aiming that at you directly
Shows how skewed your perception really is.

Yeah Shilpa should have said it in an English accent clearly.N_igma said:I know, but I did notice Shilpa put an Indian dialect to her name when saying it to Jackiey. .

Rutita1 said:Maybe. Or maybe I'm reacting to your comment because you have directly quoted me and reacted to mine on more than one occasion.
Imagine that?
Rutita1 said:Yeah Shilpa should have said it in an English accent clearly.
'Dialect' is not the word you wanted to use surely?
N_igma said: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.
Orangesanlemons said:I didn't really follow the career of S-Club 7 but was Jo always such a strange Pat Butcher/Tony Soprano hybrid?
Chairman Meow said:Err, just a gentle suggestion here, but just perhaps she said her name in an Indian accent because she is, you know, Indian?

RaverDrew said:LMFAO
N_igma said: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.

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

rocketman said:No, but she was always an ephemeral and nebulous creature - the S in S Club stands for Spiritless.
N_igma said: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.
Orangesanlemons said: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).

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