Permanently Bewildered10 Mar 2009 11:06 am
By Nelson
An old one I just found, on the death of Michael Crichton.
Why ask me for my reaction – I’ve no idea who he was.
Douglas Lee, London
I like to imagine Douglas in a permanent state of shock, leafing incredulously through rail timetables full of destinations he’s not intending to travel to and TV schedules full of programmes he doesn’t watch.

Why did you publish Douglas Lees comment? I have no idea who he is.
I bet the twat has seen Jurassic Park. Dinosaurs? I have no idea what they are.
Who are you? Why are we here?
I wish there was a site where these people could just comment on stuff of which they have no idea about and then share it with the rest of us.
This is why most languages have separate words for you (singular) and you (plural).
Of course, any confusion can be avoided by simply not being a berk.
That imposter can’t even spell.
God, I told you not to use my name on SYB.
This impostor, on the other hand, can’t even spell.
Relax, I have MPD.
I, on the other hand, cannot say everything I need to in a single comment.
I shall slink away, tail between my legs, to HYS where I belong (though they’ll, in all probability, ask me to fuck off home as well).
Yeah sorry about that.
Douglas,I’m sorry but no one did ask you for your reaction.You posted this drivel all on your own…well done sir.
I once made a comment like this about Miriam Makeba and it made it on to SYB. It’s one of my proudest moments
Better still, a site where people could comment on people commenting on stuff of which they have no idea. About.
Oui, c’est vrai, l’anglais est une langue très en retard.
Right thats it! I’m off to a site where people comment about other people commenting about stuff about other people commenting on stuff of which they have no idea about. About.
@Monsieur le Président
Oui, mais je pense que ‘Avez Votre Mot’ contiendra la même merde comme ils obtiennent en Angleterre
Oh, and insisting every noun has a specific gender is advanced, is it? Bleeding le this and la that. Un whatsit and Une whosit.
You are un pompous gallic turd. (Assuming that turds in your glorious language take the masculine. Perhaps turds are feminine in your ‘advanced’ tongue.)
PS talking of feminine, I like your femme. Very chaud. But you’re un grand cock, mon-sewer.
Is this A HYS thread now? “Should we all Teach our children in french, rub ourselves in garlic and replace the queen with a hidden handed five foot dictator?” HAVE YOUR SAY
Personally I find that french is a better language for speaking to french people in, wheras english does me just fine for the rest of the time.
Whatever happened to “OY GARSON!” ?
I swear I was once in a bar in Paris and some git said “All they’ve got is French stuff”.
Doing my bit – and keen to use the bit of the language I’d picked up at O Level, I offered to help him decipher the menu.
“Nah luv, don’t bother – if the words are French the cooking will be too”.
I think he found Le MacDonald’s round the corner!
I don’t know any French, I can barely spell my name let alone speak another language.
I went to France once and noticed that they all spoke French over there … even the little kids were at it. Couldn’t understand a word of it, heaven knows how they cope.
“I don’t know any French, I can barely spell my name let alone speak another language.”
Don’t be too harsh on yourself. The fact that you’re managing to post on a website, despite the significant handicap of being dead, is a testament to your courage and endeavour!
If only the rest of this ONCE “Great” nation (England, not UK) showed some of the same backbone!
Douglas has no idea who he was, but interesting, has been sucked off by a tramp while he was watching ER
anyway, never mind that, i’ve lost the missus, she said she was off to get hammered with jade
@ Docteur Sentirbien
Hmmm, n’est-ce pas ‘Avez Votre Mot’ en Angleterre?
@ tout le monde
gardez vos mains sales de ma superbe femme
It’s also handy camouflage to disguise oneself from English tourists when abroad. They fall into two types, the over-friendly (while sober) chav bulldog “awright pal” type, or the toe-curling middle classes: “Saskia is SO talented, she’s just discovered her cello is made from a species of olive tree previously unknown to science”.

lol gd 1 m8 well cleva
‘Avez Votre Mot’
“Bof! Pas dans cette Nicolas-CLOWN dictature!”
Jacques, Quimper, Bretagne, Pas Francais.
French? French?
Masculine nouns; feminine nouns?
Easy, peasy – I was brought up in a language where not only the nouns have genders, but so do adjectives, numbers (some) and even flamin’ colours !!!!
Is that a masculine white or a feminine white.
You couldn’t make it up methinks. If I’m right.
That apology don’t cut it, Micheal. I’m Michael. Or was it Mikhail?
I don’t know who Douglas Lee is. Please castrate me.
Here is a tantalisingly opposite comment from the Guardian:
The use of a comma instead of a full stop almost leads one into wishing that this passive-agressive tactician would, in fact, be led straight into the kind of faux pas they are decrying. But know. AstroFungalInfection keeps his/her head high and refrains from writing about that which they know nothing.
Apply this stern self-control to HYS posters and the whole thing would disappear. We can but dream.
English (Not British) has actually evolved beyind French.
The victorians were so horrified atnthe prospect of boy and girl words being together on the same page that they cut off their willies.
Now we have a nice safe castrato language with none of this filthy EEC inspired sex.
Hode!
Englisch ist eine Sprache Deutsch …
Und die königliche Familie sind auch Deutsch.
Wirklich. Deutsch Eidechsen.
Ya! FAKT!
Sie können nicht so!
Ihre Meinung ist Deutsch als auch…
English is a latin language. End of.
FACT!
I beg to differ…
Pam gyda’r Saesneg, Owain? (“Owen”)
Bumsen-kopfs the lot of you.
If you likes yor forrin languiges so much then why dont you live there??!?!!!!?!
English: Weekend
French: Le Weekend
English: Microwave
French: bullshit

“I like to imagine Douglas in a permanent state of shock, leafing incredulously through rail timetables full of destinations he’s not intending to travel to and TV schedules full of programmes he doesn’t watch.”
The difference is that those don’t explicitly invite comments, where as many ‘news’ websites do, and provide the facility for your comments to be shared with other readers of the article.
I like to imagine you trawling through pages and pages of comments on articles, the humour of which is entirely beyond your grasp.
Thanks John. We’d never noticed that websites actively invite comment. To be honest, I don’t know how we managed to do this site without knowing that.
if the victorians neutered our words and were german how come they still have neuter (das) words in the vaterland?
it is political correctness gone berzerko.
John, you have very important opinions and people are fortunate in the extreme to have the chance to hear what you have to say about stuff. But I wonder if perhaps you would find a more receptive audience to your significant brainthunks here.
