That's better!! Dutch is in recovery and FS is an estate agent so I'm not expecting too much from them at this early stage.
Quote:*oh, come on spendius - I like these little stories. It's sort of the same concept as being allowed to use names in the acronyms- it's fun to tell the stories. I thought the one about the golfer wearing the diapers was funny.
I think you will find that it was me who institutionalised people's names in Acronyms and with some opposition.
What do you make of a one letter change in "park" running the range of "bark", "cark", "dark", "hark", "lark", "mark", "nark" and "sark", when "pork" is pig parked in the fridge-freezer display or money parked in a congressman's wife's bank account.
Nobody likes little stories more than me but there are no golfers wearing nappies. The smear is disrespectful to male golfers and I'm surprised Frank Apisa has not had something to say about it. Watching Rory Mcllroy striding onto the last green to take the US Open by a record margin with an image like that in mind destroys the whole point of being an alpha male role model for aspiring sporting heroes.
The rule I have introduced here is a little too difficult to apply all the time on the one letter change in a four or five letter word. Not that one shouldn't try. But 3 from 6 and it's ideal.
Making the connection with the previous connection is allowing a third party to run your imagination. With just the word itself you are on your own with it.
