.... but if there'd been a Robbie Williams option, he would have got the black spot too - words cannot express my disdain for this man and his obscene hijacking of popular culture.

Quite. I simply don't have a sufficiently expressive vocabulary to express how little respect I have for williams and his music; suffice to say it's very small.

The thought of a 'Sir' Cliff and Williams xmas collaboration is simply beyond contemplation :cry:

[Bubba]

Please no! Cliff and Robbie is just too horrible to mention.

[underground]

Well I just heard something almost as bad- a Williams contribution to the legacy of wank xmas songs...

"I'll put a Gat in their back"

Yes Robbie, of course you will...

[cofe]

why doesn't he just shoot then with it?

[webbo]

speakin of xmas 100,00 people will be homeless this xmas. interviewing one of them he said i really miss my family at xmas. is it me or just fuckin go back home then

have you ever thought of going in to social worker or becoming a counsellor.you seem to have alot of empathy for life's unfortunates. :wink:

i wonder if releasing a christmas song should be made a capital offence.who'd miss all the tart's mentioned on this thread.

[dave]

If releasing an xmas song gets the death penalty, then can we introduce 6 years solitary for using apostrophes as plurals!!! :bash:    :rolleyes:  :crying:

[SA Chris]

yeah, sarcastic, thats what it was.

Or leaving one out when omitting letters; should be  "that's"

[dave]

yeah, point taken but leaving stuff out, mistyping and misspelling just don't stab my eyes with little imaginary knives like an unwarranted apostrophe does! Is webbo a greengrocer? :wink:

greengrocer.no i'm afraid you've lost me there.

[dave]

sorry, i was on about the greengrocer's apostrophe:








think i inherited this kinda sense of humour from me dad.

[AndyR]

Helps if you've read "Eats, Shoots and Leaves".

Uses greengrocers as example of people who can't help lobbing in the odd extra apostrophe - e.g. Potatoe's - fifty pence a pound; Cabbage's - four for a quid etcetera.

[dave]

I bought me dad ES&L last xmas, i never got to read it though.

[tommytwotone]

word. Eats, Shoots and Leaves should be on every gramatt-o-pedant's xmas list.

My other favorite is the "Oxford Comma" (either is legit apparently):

boots, chalk and bag or

boots, chalk, and bag

on the greengrocer ting, there is a firm in Derby near the station with a brand new shiny sign proudly emblazoned with "Midland Taxi's"

I always pass it thinking "Midland Taxi's what?"

[webbo]

guilty as charged as i dropped out of c.s.e. english when i was 15.

[SA Chris]

Or read the Parody; "Eats Shites and Leaves" much more entertaining.

Happy Christma's

[webbo]

i heard the darkness christmas thingy on the radio this morning.i was wrong about capital punishment,hanging is too good for these people. :evil:

[cofe]

c'mon webb'o dont let the bell's end.

[AndyR]

Happy Christma's

Pis's off.

[SA Chris]

You guy's are hilariou's

[Big Frank]

Happy Christma's

Pis's off.

Laughing my as's off!

I quite like the Voodoo Glow Skulls version of Feliz Navidad.

And The Vandals' Oi To The World christmas album.
