Norman Verona Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I knew the Churchill question as I've read about the incident many times. He was criticized by some Etonians for poor grammar so the next day he phrased his answer that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hmm. I can't find the smug smiley but I clearly have only way way to go with a score of 10... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 smart A***. (is this the smug emoticon?) We'll all have to brush up our grammar when we address you from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 My excuse is that I used to write speeches and scripts for a living. In fact my second proudest career achievement is that a very senior politician asked me to be their retained writer. As I regard the individual as a duplicitous, sneering nunney this led to my proudest achievement: I turned the offer down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Brian, I know who your talking about. He speaks very highly of you as well. On a serious note haven't you just described every politician we have. That was a sweeping generalisation, there may be one or two who are there to serve us and not themselves.

Meakin Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 meakin, I thought the sitting one sounded wrong. HM said the same. She got 4/10. I think we should agree the quiz got it wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Freak Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 bl**** hell, 10/10!!! Guessed a couple luckily correct tho- never even heard of gerund! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Geoff, correct. In mitigation your honour, I've just spent 2 hours attempting to send an email Brian, but all women MP's look and talk like men, so the mistake is easy to make. Meakin, are you going to tell them? Tim, nor have I. Does it fit inside the sump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
