[POLL] Average age of Blades on ere??

[northsomersetblade]

Great. Tell me when you get this new forum set up and I'll try to remember to ignore it.

I am merely attempting to elevate you from your self professed dullness, my dear ISC

 

[Tyler Durden]

Language always mutates, innit bruv. It's healthy. If there had always been Language Nazis you lot in particular would still write things like this:

Mīn wandrian-scyf ful ǣlen is.

Habbe ān gōd dæg!

Anglo-Saxon was a beautiful language. Far preferable to this Normanised shit we speak today.

That's me, you and Tolkien agree then

I think it says a lot about us as a race that Norse words such as 'fuck', 'bollocks', 'shit', 'cunt' and 'twat' have all survived though.

We chose to preserve those at all costs

 

[cahill]

Liz says some of you don't speak English as a first language, as a non Sheffielder I can't understand much of what's said at games and in nearby pubs anyway but I'm glad Liz has confirmed it

What does "who wa she wee" mean ?

"Move aaaaht ut way coont" mean, I've had that said to me a lot ?

Oh and 63 last week

Although to be fair to the French, 'bastard' was a welcome addition.

So, scanning the poll so far (I do like a poll), we have members / posters in every age bracket from "15 and under" to "76+".

How neat is that ??! In the age of ultra-age-segregation (by fashion, work, music, ageism, etc, etc, etc) football bonds people of all ages together.

Edit: the mighty S2fucking4SU bonds people of all ages together

Small edit SBB!

 

[BigBed]

Couldve saved yourself typing all those separate blasphemes and just typed "Gary Madine".

It's a fair cop. Trying to remain upbeat and positive, given that it's still only Tuesday

Robert Brasillach?

52

I always thought you were an old fucker. It turns out you're the same age as me. Oh, wait, that means...

Who'll be the one laughing when Adidas Samba and Farah's come back in eh?

I'm looking forward to paisley shirts and chinos, still have them in the wardrobe.

 

[cahill]

Robert Brasillach?

' kin ell. Well impressed with that

It's a bit of a melange of stuff he said about the pre-war French Third Republic. It was used against him during his trial for collaboration in 1944/45 by the Prosecutor, before they blew his head off

Moral is, beware of what you submit to print ( or say on record ) as it could come back and bite you in the bum.

As Milo Y. is discovering currently in the U.S

Extremely relevant to a Blades forum !

 

[boo radley]

A man after my own heart.

I might be a weapons-grade twat myself but I've always outlined my twattishness in standard English.

Enough to understand that:

'As well' and 'a bit' are not one fucking word.

'Could/would/should of' should be punishable by death.

'There/their/they're' - The most common reason for an incorrect sentence.

Any others? I'm sure there are. A tell-tale sign of a crumbling civilisation is the degeneration of its very language.

Pot kettle and all that.
It's couldn't not cunt.

 

[I should coco]

it could come back and bite you in the bum.

Lydon will be looking forward to that then....

 

[BigBed]

Got some good teeth to "bite you IN the bum"!!??!!

 

[ShorehamRevolution]

You'd have to be over the age of 40 to have any recollection of winning division 4, certainly a large chunk of this forum (according to this poll) haven't seen us win anything. (Stupid second place shields don't count)

Treble like. Do they not teach grammer at school anymore?







grammar.

 

[Northyorksblade]

I've actually heard doctors use that term too. That's what's terrifying.

Weird isn't it? I know people who have had prostate cancer say it. As well as educated people, teachers, accountants etc.

 

[Buxtonblade]

I come on here for a gander n nosey everyday, some things I read I agree with, some I don't, as I'm sure is the same for everyone, anyway, we all know that we're Blades together, even if we fall out n call eachother names sometimes, and as I read different posts, you can get a sort of sense that some posts are from older fans and vice versa.

Anyway I started thinking, what is actually the average age of a Blade?
Might be a stupid question but I've had a few beers so stupid questions are ok!!

We all enter the ground together, we all support our team, most of us are there for the same thing, to watch us take the 3 points, yet, although we're all "the same" were all very different. Does that come more with age and maturity or just mindset???

So how old are you??

Mentally 5
Physically 85
Actually 28

Se what i mean about Sheffieldese language. To me that means " I am in the mood for groping "

" Heil Hitler"

You're going to tell me I'm wrong now aren't you ?
