Coronavirus: Charger’s new stick to beat immigrants and foreigners with.
Bless.
Charger Salmons
I’d prefer to use the stick to beat someone who ends a sentence with a preposition.
( You’ll need to use Google at this point )
Brother Barnabas
incorrect, old man
occasionally a style preference, but not a grammatical rule
why would we apply a rule of latin grammar to english when it’s a germanic language? preposition usage is as flexible as you like
and we end sentences with prepositions all the time. for example:
“why dont you shut the fupp up”
not that we’d say such a thing
Redbeard
i c what u did their
Charger Salmons
I didn’t say it was correct or incorrect old sport.
Just that it would be my preference to take a stick to those who did it.
Rather like those losers who think not using punctuation is ” stylish ” .
You just know that however sophisticated they think they are they still order a pint of milk and two slices of bread and butter in a restaurant.
Brother Barnabas
I think we’ll chalk that down as a burn, shall we?
You really going on about punctuation again Charger? Must we go through this again?
millie vanilly strikes again
But you’re not hypocrite enough to jibe others over it, V. Charger has been using punctuation as a stick to poke other commenters with, like the nasty little troll he is. His own punctuation skills are equivalent to that of a six year old.
Stones and glass houses and all that.
Rosette of Sirius
Which is why this particular panel from C&H is a favourite of mine…. rather apt.
It’s ” you’re not hypocritical enough ” not ” you’re not hypocrite enough “.
Hypocrite is a noun.Hypocritical is an adjective.
millie vanilly strikes again
Still unable to use a quotation mark. Jog on and come back to me when you know how to put a sentence together that teacher doesn’t have to correct for you, diddums.
I’ll continue my conversation with the grown ups.
Charger Salmons
Ahem.
“Grown up” can be the past participle of “grow up,” but it can also be a noun or an adjective; when it is, it needs a hyphen.
You’re welcome.
Rosette of Sirius
Change yer name to Yoda if that’s the way you like it…. heh heh.

One of your own – Winston Churchill – a prose stylist and, to his credit, responsible for introducing a more direct style of writing within the English Civil Service – used to point out the absurdity of such a rule by stating ‘Ending a sentence with a preposition … that is something up with which we will not put’
Caroline. No.
Churchill was a statesman and hero
This fellow is not one of them
He’s the scrapings off a toddler’s diaper
Charger Salmons
Diaper ?
We call them nappies here.
Oh dear.
Nice try though.
Daisy Chainsaw
Churchill gave Ireland the Black and Tans and is responsible for the deaths of millions of Bengalis. He was a horrible racist too.
Caroline. Yes.
Exactly Daisy
He was a leader and a statesman
Ringsend Incinerator
That worked out well for your jaded narrative:
“Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.” — Winston Churchill
Kingfisher
Oh puh. That preposition nonsense was Miss Thistlebottom-ing by Latinate idiots in the 18th century. Nothing wrong with it.
Charger Salmons
Cracking stuff from Kevin Myers, one of Ireland’s greatest journalists shunned by a timid media too frightened to speak the truth.
…anyone who knew Myers back in day knew that he was particularly timid and only left the confines of the Europa Hotel to catch the bus to Dublin from the station next door…nice story though…has a ring of truth in that you can see the Markets and Sandy Row from the Europa…
Rosette of Sirius
I do miss Myers alright as he almost always had an interesting point of view. Except of course when his ego and ham fisted bravado go in the way and scored too many strikes. Can’t ever see a way back for him. He’s toast. And out.
Cú Chulainn
A man who loves the sound of his own typing. He’s almost always close but always misses the bigger picture.
Hugh Let-Packard
Numpty Airfix soldiers hate generator and apologist for convicted Irving, he never left college rag mag level. Ruined his own career.
Clampers Outside
Don’t drag Airfix into this!
Ringsend Incinerator
He’s revelling in it.
Spaghetti Hoop
RIP Mallon.
He witnessed a lot of the bloody war in NI.
But my mum was born the same year and did a lot more for Irish-British relations than Mallon.
Hugh Let-Packard
Bitter and twisted. He did nothing to advance the GFA. Even Bono wouldn’t hold his hand.
Cú Chulainn
Well, now that Brexit is done I see the killer/mugger seagulls are back. That’s reassuring.
Daisy Chainsaw
Dear UK government
Please give Dani Dyer the cholera and attention she demands.

Charger Salmons
Fabulous piece in the Daily Mail about the excellent prospects facing Blighty post-Brexit and the mounting problems the EU faces.
” The alarmists of Project Fear predicted that this moment would be the cue for economic meltdown, yet just the opposite is happening. Britain seems ready to prosper.
Only on Thursday, an authoritative study by the Confederation of British Industry reported the biggest surge in confidence on record among manufacturers, with companies planning to ramp- up investment.
The CBI’s report followed news earlier in the week of yet another fall in unemployment as the British jobs miracle continues.
The jobless rate in the UK is at its lowest since 1974, while employment, at 33 million, is at its highest-ever level.
Particularly striking is the dramatic growth in self-employment to more than five million, a sure indicator of an enterprising economy. ”
And the best thing of all about this excellent journalism ?
Count Alexander von whatever knows so much about the common German I’m sure..
Charger Salmons
Well, he is editor-at-large for BILD which is Germany’s biggest newspaper so I think he probably has a fair idea of what he’s talking about.
Rosette of Sirius
There are more breasticles in Bild then the Mail and the Sun combined. Hardly a badge of honour. Bit like holding Piers Morgan up as a paragon of virtue and decency.
Charger Salmons
When people attack the writer and the publication but say nothing about the content you know it’s touched a raw nerve.
Typical Irish begrudgery.
Mwaahaaaa.
Pat Mustard
The writer claims to be speaking for the common German, which is bs.
Your trolling has failed. Try harder.
Rosette of Sirius
I’m fluent in German, worked there for a few years, married one actually and I’m pretty confident when I say that Bild is a rag.
Charger Salmons
Where exactly does the writer claim to speak for ” the common German ” ?
The whole piece is based around the mood he found at a champagne reception where Angela Merkel was the guest speaker.
Hardly common.
But feel free to point out any errors in his story or where you disagree with his analysis.
Otherwise we can only conclude your normal reading material is the Beano.
Brother Barnabas
“your normal reading material is the Beano” says the fellow citing a Daily Mail article
heh x 3
Charger Salmons
Ooh, let me think now.
It’s a toss-up between a newspaper whose online site gets 53 million visits a month.
Or some silly on an obscure Irish website who doesn’t use punctuation because he thinks it’s ” stylish” .
There’s only one silly in that toss-up.
Brother Barnabas
small bit tetchy today, charger

Spoofer: When people attack the writer and the publication but say nothing about the content you know it’s touched a raw nerve.
What, this report from the cbi which predicts moderate growth only if the UK can stay aligned with eu rules and avoids a hard, no deal brexit?
BTW, it’s very impressive that you managed to get ‘fabulous piece’ and ‘daily mail’ in the same sentence, even for a silly like you.
Charger Salmons
You want to Google the Daily Mail and Stephen Lawrence when you take a break from fixing your man bun.
Silly.

“Brexit has reduced investment by about 11% and decreased productivity by about 2% to 5% over the three years since the referendum.”

C’mon, he’s Christopher Hitchens without the wit or panache. An embittered Junior B lad that never made the grade.
Meanwhile, yet another lawsuit against the Mod for collusion with terrorists.

RIP to the three children found last night. My heart is breaking for the family left behind.
Very hard to read without shedding a tear.
Difficult reading. Must be totally devastating for family and friends.
RIP to all.
I agree Millie, it’s so sad.
The NCH scam continues. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/fresh-delays-and-millions-in-extra-costs-for-children-s-hospital-revealed-1.4149497
“Fresh delays to the national children’s hospital and new concerns around the budget of the project were discussed in private meetings between senior Government and HSE chiefs.”
– Private meetings. Of course they’re private, as Simon Harris doesn’t attend them. No minutes etc. etc. etc. Scam, scam, scam.
Why can no one in Ireland seek tenders for a design and build contract?
