Tits Up! - 'Uddersfield (H) 29/11/2014

[LeverEnd]

I've just had a 'phone call from Enoch to remind me that what I actually meant to suggest was: "Stick it up them terrier c*nts' arses - Huddersfield (H) 29/11/14". Many apologies.

Thank goodness someone is maintaining standards.

Indeed - for example, the opening apostrophe on 'phone. How irksome it is when teen-agers use their 'phones on the 'bus.

Quite. Funnily my friend and I do refer to using said form of transport as 'riding the omnibus'. This is not to maintain standards however, rather because we're dicks.

bravo!

I don't think, having added the apostrophe, that the 'U' should be capitalised.

Just being fussy maybe. Do say if I am.

But, but, it's a place... place names are capitalised, my English teacher taught me that over fifty years ago. Although to be fair he gave me no rules regarding silent Hs and their representative apostrophes.

the 'place' has an aitch. The foreshortened place misses the 'H' which is replaced by the apostrophe. However that doesn't capitalise the 'u'.

'unfortunately I need Henoch's permission to reedit the edited thread title as 'e's already given the thumbs up.
I don't want to fall foul of the Thread Authorities.

I have a friend who insists on using pub' on the grounds it's short for public house. Mind you, he pays over £2,000 for his Arsenal season ticket - he is definitely a dick!

Re-edit at your leisure.

Re-edit to your 'eart's content.

Re-edit and be damned.

Likely you will.

[EverSoYouri]

Might I, with respect, suggest a way out of the punctuational conundrum?

Why not settle for the pun and call it Uddersfield - sans apostrophe?

They played at silverwell st sports centre when I was about 14. Tried convincing my dad to take me but suspect it was never on the cards. I was playing darts in the Blue Boar last year and someone played the entire greatest hits cd on the jukebox. Lovely stuff.

Didn't the council pull the plug on the Silverwell St gig anyway? Miserable bastards.

Three owls in Gibraltar has them as well. Much to the amusement of the armed forces and disgust of the bar staff who have never heard anything like them.

Unfortunately not, Jonny. They knocked it down years ago. Coincidentally I was only talking about it yesterday. Used to play 5-a-side there on a Thursday evening then had to walk out, whilst starving hungry, into a big waft of garlic coming out of Tiggi's. I used to find myself walking back to the car slavering like Pavlov's dog!

I can recommend Diamonds on Bank Street for a similar effect.

I can recommend a number of take away outlets on Bank Street if you want to shit yourself like Pavlov's dog.
