Phillip Schofield

:LOL::LOL:
Bit rich, though, coming from someone from/in East Lunn! ;)

Certainly not in the 'class' of the Birmingham or Black Country ones - or 'heart' of Glasgow! Liverpudlian can be pretty nasal too (eg Ringo).

At the other end of the scale...Female (though not Male) Dublin one is gorgeous imo. Some other Irish ones are 'not to my taste' either!

My own Kiwi one has probably softened slightly, but still recognisable as Antipodean. But I certainmly agree with a couppe of descriptions...
1. Queen's English spoken with the tongue sitting on the botton of the mouth like a dead fish. (Dame Ngaio Marsh, who also described Aussie one as 'as if constantly squinting from the sun').
2. Proper English spoken as if with a constant cold.

Oh, and FWIW Schofield actually started his TV career in New Zealand!
Bristolian started out as a form of English language but over time it has bifrocated into a unique form like sanskrit and Basque.
 
Oh shock. Yet another white, successful and heterosexual man who can’t get past his own thoughts and experiences.

Pretty certain that's what would happen so your comment is odd... cheat with a bloke, hero, but a women hes a rat. Surely you can see the hypocrisy in that?

But he at this moment in time hasn't cheating on his wife with anyone ?
 
This is the problem with this world. Too many people read one comment, then automatically assume it is a fact. I can't say he wasn't cheating, but if comment 115 was all you had to go on, I'd maybe refrain from jumping to conclusions
Read my post again, it says IF. You are the one jumping to conclusions.
 
Because white males often display this sort of behaviour; a complete lack of understanding of the lives of others.

I don’t buy into the full range of “white male privilege” that the extreme left wing extol but this thread is full of it.

Great article in the Independent last year about extreme self-righteousness doing more to damage the case for tolerance than the original prejudices... just saying.

He’s definitely the type to get offended on others behalf,and the person in question isn’t offended at all.

You know me well enough to know that anything is a topic for humour with me - I have a dark sense of humour - but the way people portray themselves on this forum really does suggest they’re incredibly backwards thinking at times!

Unfortunately Mark, your sense of humour doesn't come across in a lot of what you post. I know your humour, and you're great company but the written word doesn't convey intonation and body language, from which the real message is often more discernible.

Non comprendez! Or is that an example?

Btw. No...Bristolian is merely an accent! With a few words unique to its 'region'. No different to any other 'local' form - including 'Posh' (also known as Queen's or or BBC).
 
Don’t take it as a dig against kiwis, it wasn’t. It was just that whining nasal tone made my skin crawl!
Fwiw I can’t stand the mockney, Estuary English.... probably why I married a Cumbrian!?
No offence taken. Nasal is an apt description and mine is more than most - from a couple of breaks and orientation as a feoutus! Indeed, Estuary is unpleasant to my ears. I acquired 3 kids who spoke that, though all could miraculously change if appropriate, with Wife #2.

"I acquired 3 Kids" where? Poundland?
 
...
I will if you will ?
Done! I'm always in favour of a bargain! Zero effort required on my part; heaps on yours though!
"I acquired 3 Kids" where? Poundland?
No! But seems your parents overpaid!?

Now, as we are pretty much even on the personal insults, I suggest we get back 'on topic'! Not that I blieve it's a topic of paricular 'importance' on a Golf forum in the first place!
