It’s a derby match not a Derby match

[HighfieldBlade]

I know this is pedantic but it’s really annoying me now, but what is OCD?

OCD stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Genuine OCD sufferers, however, refer to it as CDO, as they feel compelled to have the letters in alphabetical order.

I sometimes wonder how a guy like him managed to bag a treat like her. Yeah she’s a cartoon but so was Jessica Rabbit. Something dirty about Lois

Oooooh! Jessica Rabbit.

It’s Frank Lampards Derby County.

Anybody worried about spelling and grammar really should steer well clear of forums.

steer clear of life these days !

For fear of turning into an old miserable bar steward, the modern generation are re-writing the English language.

You're not the only one, whatever you do, don't Google "Lois Griffin bondage" and go to images. I did and I've never been the same since.

What's the Epsom derby then , I'm confused. Is it a derby or a derby or the derby.

Dearie me.

The Derby is a race for three-year-old colts and fillies over twelve furlongs at Epsom on the first Saturday in June.

There is no such thing as the Epsom Derby - it’s just the Derby.

Lesser versions of it are run elsewhere and require a prefix: Kentucky Derby, Irish Derby and so on.

This thread just screams of nervous energy for Monday's Derby.


Shit. I mean derby.

I was trying to explain to some of the ladies at work about derby games, which doesn't help when our boss is a Derby fan, and Derby's derby was this week v Forest.

Football is weird, they said.

It did prompt me to search for the origins of the term though, and I came across this:

Is mucho complicate.
Derby these, derby that and darby for the others.
You can ask it me and I will expose the truth. Is bonky madness.

You make a very interesting point here.

I'm not a great lover of golf, but The Open is often referred to as The British Open.

It is The Open, lesser, let's say inferior for use of a better word, necessitate a prefix, e.g. U.S. Open.

PS. Aren't we all just loving this season. ⚔⚔⚔

Feel sorry for Carlisle, don't think they even have a derby

 

[Tom Bott]

In a derby do teams play derbyball and not tuftyball ?

Is derbyball where the lesser opposition just overload their own goalmouth with players like the Pork have done for the last two derbies.

Little bit of foliage on show. Nipples like pan lids. But still, 7/10 would bang. Her voice is too nasally otherwise an 8/10

 

[GrayBlade]

Sorry, I know this is pedantic but it’s really annoying me now. A match between local rivals is a derby match. A Derby match is a match against Derby County.

I know, but you try telling my iPhone that.

I once signed Duane Darby on champ manager. I was Derby boss and Darby scored on his debut in the midlands derby.

Darby Derby derby delight.

Way too harsh, i’m probably the coolest guy you’ve never met, I just happen to be a bit OCD about grammar. And i’ve had a drink...

If that’s the case you should know not to start a sentence with and.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

That’s not very interesting.

He's in good company on here then.

I've just eaten a block of cheese before bed. Absolute madman

I like cheese (and beer).

Is that like the British Open?

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Would you class the Rotherham match as a derby? I wouldn’t.

 

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

I think it is perfectly alright to start a sentence with a conjunction. But is it?

 

[CharlotteBlade]

A darby match ?

 

[The Crab]

This is weirder than that time I forgot about shoes.

Yes, that one bit you in the arse at the last car park protest didn't it......................

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

Bet you're fun at parties...

I think it is perfectly alright to start a sentence with a conjunction. But is it?

‘If’ is a conjunction but no-one ever has an issue with someone starting a sentence with it.

 

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

Yes. It's all ifs ands and buts.

And while we’re at it, it’s pronounced ‘darbyshire’ not fucking ‘durbyshire’.
