im never sure about this. We don’t go around telling other countries they’re pronouncing words started in English wrong. But the Yanks speak English not American so I feel like we can tell them they’re wrong.

Like no one says “Uh it’s koekje not ‘cookie’” than you very much. Seems weird which ones were picked up on.

I did read somewhere that the accent and I assume some of the pronunciations in the US are more similar to old English than modern English.

Probably counts as divergent evolution from a common ancestor. I think place names are the main thing where each language has a different word - Germany being Deutschland, Allemagne, Alemania and Tyskland (Norwegian). Seems disrespectful not to refer to places as they are spoken by the people who named them.
The one that makes me laugh is the French (who are always sticking two fingers up to the world, and very protective of their own language) who spell people's names differently so that the sound like the correct pronunciation when spoken. Case in point: Vladimir Poutine (if they spelt it Putin, it would sound the same as putain, which means whore or fuck, and rather frowned upon).

The fact that these two dick heads who got kicked out of a Peter Kay show are still in the news. Other people there have said they were acting like twats and ruining everyone's night. Surely that's the end of the story.

And Kay and Riley are mates so he obviously wasn't throwing it out as an insult but she's taken it as one.

Why are they being given airtime?

Pricks who go and watch comedy but just aimlessly shout out constantly to try and get attention.

Can see there's one in the news getting kicked out of Peter Kay, went to watch Paul Smith and it was constant with weirdos just shouting out unrelated shit .

I was at Paul Smith the other week at CBS and the nob in front of me kept shouting out! Safe to say that you can actually hate people you’ve never met before! Twat left about 30mins before the end too

Should have ordered one from Uber Eats while she was out, taken a picture to send her and sat with your feet up watching footy.

Global warming causes flooding...

There's going to be studies in a few decades time where people scratch their heads how thick people were allowed to be in charge of the council and get paid handsomely.

*idk why it's not uploaded, but it's a picture of a blocked drain on my street.

When my ex was pregnant she demanded a roast dinner at 2am. Went to the 24hr Tesco to get everything and when I got back she changed her mind and made herself a cheese sandwich. She was lucky she was carrying my child…

There's a school at either end of my road. Today they've decided to put signs up saying the road is being closed for roadworks.

But not this week when the schools are closed, they are of course doing it when the schools are back but didn't bother putting the signs up in time for anyone to see it before half term. Going to be chaos.

Stephen Bartlett on Dragons Den. Started off as a working class hearo and is now coming across as an arrogant wanker.

Not sure if he signed up to so many series, n is now avoiding investing?

1. Global warming does contribute to flooding as warm air holds more moisture which in turn leads to the heavy rain events we've seen

2. Blocked drains I'm afraid are just another consequence of austerity. Cov council expenditure on services in 2024/25 is £821m, in 2010/11 it was £749m. To have kept pace with inflation (never mind the increase in the size of the population) that budget should be £1.135bn now. That's a £400m gap.

When you get something delivered and they hand it to you, when you go to take it they decide they need a photo so you're stood there holding a parcel with them while they try to take a picture like it's a certificate with the head teacher in assembly.

I don’t get how some of the funniest stuff I’ve watched is American, but SNL is so painfully unfunny every time I see it.

I generally try when homeless people are hanging round outside supermarkets to buy them some food.

Yesterday I was at a Tesco Express and asked what he wanted. He said chicken strips. What even are they? I found some chicken round things in breadcrumbs and gave him and he said that’s not what I wanted.

Drivers who:

1. Brake every time they approach a speed hump in the road. Especially those in SUVs.
2. Brake every time a car approaches in the opposite direction

There was an article recently looking at the brightness of current lights, I certainly hope they do something about it,doubt it though with this free for attitude generally.

Of course climate change leads to different weather, however if rainwater has no where to go, that's what causes flooding.

Amazing how they have millions for cycle lanes that no body wants but can't pay to have drains cleared to stop roads being flooded.
