I'll just say this. I've been in the States for over twenty years. My accent is exactly the same as the day I left Scotland. There comes a point in time though, where you get fed up having to repeat yourself. Over time you need to drop the slang and pick up the words that the people around you use. I still feel weird saying parking lot but it makes life a lot simpler. Edited January 21, 2021 by Anonapersona 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I can only assume you're butthurt because I called Osborne a piece of trash. So let me be even more clear about him: If he was on fire and I had 100 gallons of water, you bet I'd try my best to drink it all. If you read this post in Limmy's "New Yoik" voice it's much funnier. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I'm not sure if it's a deliberate misunderstanding or not but Osborne could be writing a public letter geared toward a specific audience but other people will draw their own conclusions from it. It happens quite a lot! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens quite a lot! The letter might have been intended for a narrow audience of his fellow scumbags, but in typical Tory style, it was put out there because he doesn’t really give a polished-silver shite what the untermensch make of it. He and his ilk have all the public relations skills - and double the contempt for people - of Tsar Nicholas. ETA: We saw similar stuff during the last couple of years. The Tories and Tory publications would blithely make inflammatory comments about Europe, the EU, and foreign dignitaries and leaders. People pointed out the breathtaking stupidity in that Europeans had access to these publications and comments. I doubt it was (entirely) stupidity. They were playing to a narrow gallery of their far-right gammonbase and simply didn’t care what the filthy Frogs and Krauts thought. Tory arrogance, however, can backfire - and the people they don’t care about are able to see what they’re doing.

It was indeed breathtaking from Brendan, but for my sins I came across some Brexiteers on the Express online , complaining that the BBC "Remoaners" were not letting Brendan develop how great this was for NI, although no one on the show pointed out that the rest of the U.K are therefore at a competitive disadvantage. I have largely given up on QT for other reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
