Why on earth do they do that, it seems childish and ill-mannered, perhaps bordering on racist?

It may well be childish and ill-mannered, but racist? Give me strength - playing the race card is sooo 90's.
 
Maybe 'racist' isn't quite the word - howzabout 'xenophobic'? We seem to do quite well as xenophobes, whether it's on the football terraces or discussing racing anywhere outside the UK.

Remember 'The Forum Novel', old-timers? Maybe for the entertainment and delight of new forum members, we should start 'The Forum Shakespeare'? :D

We could choose from:

Romeo and Julio (Gay Pride version)

Tower Hamlet

A Midsummer Club Night

Yothello! (The musical)

Twelfth Night Out (Ibiza club track version)

:brows:
 
Romeo and Julio. The Gay Pride Version.

Act 1 Scene 1

GREGORY

'Tis well thou art not fish; if thou hadst, thou
hadst been poor John. Draw thy tool! here comes
two of the house of the Montagues.


SAMPSON

My naked weapon is out: quarrel, I will back thee.

(Cant really add to it I'm afraid.)
 
I have the forum novel downloaded, cracking stuff. I'm quite happy if anybody wants to correct my grammar but could you do it before I post it please I would hate to offend with language. :D
 
The most confusing thing concerning the usage of correct grammar is knowing what is and isn't acceptable anymore. I still cringe everytime I type "and" after a comma as I was taught originally that this was incorrect only to be told a few years later that it no longer applies! I know I am guilty of doing this quite often and it seems to sound right, yet I still cringe every time I do it. Any opinions from the august members of this forum?! The "my friend and me/I" is another one - I was taught that it should me "my friend and I" yet was told a few years later that it was now acceptable English to use "my friend and me". I know I am guilty of using incorrect English at times, sheer laziness I'm afraid, but the incorrect usage of apostrophes does annoy me, (nearly as much as the usage of "would of" instead of "would have" as highlighted by Jon, that infuriates me terribly, along with "I got off of" the bus - no, you didn't, you got got "OFF the poxy bus" :angy: :angy: ) as it just goes to show how much the English language has been dumbed down as people are too lazy to learn it or use it correctly.
 
He is (what we would say in Wales).......pouting.

I think somebody suggested that one of his jokes wasn't funny or was it that one of his jokes wasn't his.........oh! for a decent memory.
