Ghosty Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 The last two ITV companies/rivals before they merged into ITV plc were Carlton and Granada. Carlton and Granada. Rusty_Rocket, eddyramrod, Craig the Princess and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Granada TV sued Ford in 1973 to stop them calling the Granada, the Granada.They said it would cause confusion as their company vehicles had "Granada" on the side. Judge said that was bollocks and who on earth would he confused by that? DVee8, Rusty_Rocket, Cavcraft and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I read that right."Shooting dead". It's like the next level of shooting. "Police shoot man""Police shoot dead man" Doesn't flag up as a mistake to me. It also reads OK as "Police shoot man dead" but if you were being pedantic couldn't you say there's no such thing as a "man dead" to shoot at? It's all about the inflection and how you read it, one of the many problems of written communication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthbay Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 You don’t shoot a dead man, you shoot a man dead, in English at least. Well unless the yank police just shot some random dead guy, that’s probably happened on more than one occasion......

Bucketeer Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I'm currently in that there London for NYE. In a Wetherspoons near the hotel and the girlfriend finds a directory of all their pubs.

Tamworthbay Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 But you can shoot dead, a man.Like I said, it's all about the inflection and timing. but there is no comma in the title not inflection, gramma. And without getting into an English lesson, my old English teacher would have kicked my arse repeatedly for structuring something like your example and then jumped on my head for good measure (it was rough school). You would think that some twat paid to write for a living would understand that but it was the BBC I suppose. Anyway, it was wasn’t a grammar police first post, it was just taking the piss out of the BBC for the title suggesting the cops had shot a dead man.

beko1987 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Eva wants to stay up until bastard midnight to watch the fireworks. Amys going out, I probably won't last until midnight. Is it bad of me to plan to change the clock to 11.55 at about 8pm, put last year's fireworks on the telly, hooray new year etc and she be in bed by half 8? Part of me thinks it's a cunning plan, half of me thinks it's mean, plus keeping her up till midnight might get me a lie in tomorrow...

MarvinsMom Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 the central heating which for the last fortnight has steadfastly refused to work, came on this morning without any issue when kerry turned it on...... (she has apparently been fiddling with the wall thermostat?) so, hot water and a warm house. PRICELESS! and anyone who says how good the "good old days" were before central heating, is talking SHIT!! chodweaver, Sheefag, chaseracer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
