As @Weststander was saying.....I remember, years ago, when he and Victoria Derbyshire were vying for top spot on their joint show. He won and was quite ungentlemanly about it

They shouldn't have bothered
Given that it was you that posted it (having read another post of yours today) I'd be careless to not read something into it.
You wear you antipathy on your sleeve it seems
I can agree with someone and not have to necessarily like the person. And vice versa.
His nearest relation would be the Crawley New Guinea singing dog. Perhaps that was one of them.

Come on Harry - a split infinitive from an ex-HCGSB pupil? What would Charlie Cope (RIP) say?Given that it was you that posted it (having read another post of yours today) I'd be careless to not read something into it.

Shameless name dropping here, but as someone who occasionally writes for PE Hislop is superb.

If that's Chas Cope, the History teacher with the liberal use of the English language that taught me it would probably be 'I couldn't give a f***'. However, Willie Pope would be turning in his grave

Fair point, although Chas could be quite eloquent when he wanted to be. Also, some of his notes on my essays were sheer comedy genius.If that's Chas Cope, the History teacher with the liberal use of the English language that taught me it would probably be 'I couldn't give a f***'.

Usually getting the rest of us scrambling for the dictionary.That @Harry Wilson's tackle ’s use of the English language is to boldly go where no one has before?

Nice name, Karma.She stole Fi Glover’s husband. Karma
I was in the science stream. Pope and Lawrence 'taught' me English. I learned 90% of what I know about English grammar from what Ross taught me in Latin.
We were more interested in not splitting the atom
Great line!You wear you antipathy on your sleeve it seems
As a fan of Linton Kwesi Johnson, I'm minded that it's not how you say it, it's how you convey it.That @Harry Wilson's tackle ’s use of the English language is to boldly go where no one has before?
Fite dem back. And beam me up.
It’s probably the least funny one I’ve ever seen.
No wonder there’s no right wing satire.

That everyone should be a photocopy of themselves?.
I didn't miss the point.As a fan of Fun Boy Three and Bananarama, I can only riposte with ’It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it’!
(You missed the point of my post above btw which was merely to have an excuse to use a split infinitive that every trekker would recognise )
This thread has taken a very odd turn
I just fancied taking it on to another level. Possibly a lower level.
I reserve the right to derail.
