This is our new rescue dog. We've called him Buddy

 

 

Is he named after the Australian Professional Wrestler, 'Buddy Murphy' ?

Why are they so inconsistent with the H & L phobia? If they're going to have erbs and soddering, they should have Nasvie, A$s Vegas and Phiadepia too.

 

Not to mention the PH phobia. Why sulfur but not fosforus?

Cheap bin liners are a false economy because you end up having to double or triple bag everything.

I used to have a German colleague, the first time I told him I was going shopping at Lidl (which I pronounced 'Liddle') he said "what's that?". I explained and he said "ah, you mean Leedle".

 

True story, the first time I went into a Lidl it was years ago in Germany and that's where I first heard the name spoken out loud, so I've always pronounced it 'Leedle'.

 

I was down the dentists' recently and mentioned Lidl and the lady dentist said 'Lidl?' I haven't heard of them... ah, you mean Liddle?'

 

'Sorry,' I said. 'I wasn't being a ponce, it's just that for one reason and another I've always pronounced it the German way'.

 

'German?' says she. 'I thought they were Swedish' and stuck a drill in my mouth.

I hope she'd numbed the area beforehand with a nidl?

Indeed she had numbed the area.

 

What I actually said was: 'Orry, uh ozzen't een uh once, ick uss ack orr unn eason uhn uh-other uh all-ays uh-ounced ick uh Erman ay'.

 

I suppose it might have been funnier if I'd related my response verbatim but after mature consideration I opted for clarity over cheap humour.

 

Won't be doing that again.

I think probably we're done here?! The original poster hasn't been back since the start, and the thread has been reduced to non-bass related (non-sensical?) chat, so will close.

Any issues, drop me a PM.
