Im not sure how this goes, but id guess its an british things, so for those members who are from other countries, im sorry, you may not understand the following rant 😀
While I realise that this is ridiculously anal but im getting royally peeved with people saying “Haych” instead of “Aych” when saying the letter H.
Ive been told now that saying “Aych” is wrong by all of my friends and many teachers from school who say “Haych”
It wasnt until I was about 15 that I heard “Haych” so is it some stupid fashion that has been indoctrinated into children now (im only 21) but I hear teachers saying it and think that it just cant be right
What do you say?
Does it annoy any of you? lol

I think that says a lot about Key’s members. I don’t know what, but it certainly says something………..pedantic scoundrels, perhaps?:D

Hmmmm have to agree Phil.:D

Whatever, they certainly aren’t bands.

People like Westlife and Boyzone are groups.
I think the word you are searching for is “gatherings” rather than “groups”. 😎

Only by those at the bottom end of the bell curve. Thick as pigsh1t types. Often seen on TV fronting some band or commenting on the news about a mugging/murder/drive-by-knifing etc.
Talking of bands why is it the modern term band is used for a group of people who do not play instruments? In my day itwas only a band if they actually played their own instruments. i.e. The Shadows, The Beatles and tThe Rolling Stones wore groups. People like Westlife and Boyzone are groups.
Sorry for that, a little OT I know.

oi im the worst anorak on here, the smell of an aircraft excites me in a strange way 😉
If this makes you feel even better my grandson (7) wants the “smell” of the interior of the Victor nose section at Manston put into a room spray. Now that’s what I call class!:D And I share his enthusiasm for it, myself. Always have. That combination of leather and metal and hours of flying suit occupation.

It’s supposed to be a sign of lack of confidence,as though you constantly have to check that your listener agrees with you.
Listen to David Beckham being interviewed and he often inserts the phrase ” you know ? ” every few words. Drives me nuts.

SOME Britons, not ALL Britons. And about the same number who perpetrate most of the other “modernisms” English in the UK has become exposed to, a few of which have been mentioned in this thread. You must have become used to the irritatiing Australian habit of the rising inflection at the end of a sentence as if asking a question. And do Australians say “like” every 4th or 5th word?

You promise no one ever says “Yea, I’m good thanks!”…………
I didn’t know anyone still watched Aussie soaps.
No one’s done it yet but I guess there’s a first time for everything.:D
By: old shape - 21st January 2010 at 22:39
I usually circumvent the irritation of “I’m good” (blame Ozzie soaps for that one) by asking “are you well?” it works.
I is well well innit.
