Shared only because of the Welsh language, as we're on a grammar tangent n' all

What about it?

I liked that because it then looks like you're agreeing with me. I have no idea what it actually says though

I read it twice and thought a third time would only depress me when I realised I don't get it, and I'm actually a thick grammerless twat.
Someone is going to pick that apart aren't they? I can put commas were I fucking like.

Just Like it and move on nobody will be any the wiser

 

[Artaxerxes]

Which party does he represent I wonder

Fence sitting

 

[mojo pixy]

'better grammar than me' suggests 'better grammar than me has' which is just wrong

No, it means my grammar is better than you

I went to a grammar school mate you don't fool me

What about it?

I remember hearing stories from my late grandmother, born in Onllwyn, moving here because her husband needed work on the railways. She bitterly regretted losing what little Welsh she knew (though telling us to eistedd i lawr as naughty grandchildren never left her).

I always seemed to have a 'thing' for Welsh as a child. Sometimes she was convinced that her husband lived through me, in a way, with my love of finding S4C on the TV and the like.

Noticed on that photo the "p" and "b" mutation on 'gorsaf bleidleisio' and 'papur pleidleisio'. Seemed good timing on a brief discussion on grammar to post it from Xitter to here.

"All grammar leaks', as the saying goes.

I wonder what the kGB News coverage will be like? Presumably Ann Widicombe going on about how many council workers carry rubbers to change the reform ballots?

I've gone for the hearts for eyes emoji. I look cleverer now.

I may tune in briefly if someone like mogg loses his seat

Good grief, I don't get that either

 

[two sheds]

I had to look it up

 

[Santino]

Certainly by someone with even less understanding of correct grammar than me.

"even fewer understanding"

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Who cares? I mean this is ridiculous stuff.

It actually isn’t, it shows the public are far more reasonable than the Tory shit posting machine would have anyone believe.

 

[Voley]

Is it too late to move, and register to vote in that new constituency?

'Political party comes out with nonsense in the hope it'll resonate with some voters' shocker.

Cleary we (whomever that is?) don’t as evidenced by the post.

sorry, I was ignoring that humungous 8%

 

[Bingoman]

Could we see a lot of recounts

I was talking about the post on here, and that 8% that’s millions of people. I know we’ve established data and numbers aren’t your thing but they still matter…

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Really interesting question; my guess is there will be some but not a huge amount given the swings likely. Think Rishi’s seat is the kind of one that if Labour win it will be a small majority that could justify a recount?

Daleks at polling stations.

Who knew Daleks had been enfranchised?

 

[Silas Loom]

I don’t think that’s really a polling station. Original photo probably taken on Skaro.

the post you made... saying "It actually isn’t, it shows the public are far more reasonable than the Tory shit posting machine would have anyone believe."

which everyone knew, because thats why the tories are doing shit in the polls.
