Spot on. When i was at the Poly (Didsbury campus) there was a lad on the course (a rag) who loved using long words and half the time he got tangled up with them and was using words completely out of context.
When it came to doing our final 10,000 word thesis, I got a B and he got a D.
He told me his tutor had said he used far too many long words unnecessarily - and in some instances incorrectly - and was down graded accordingly. He said he was told to use simple language.

Yep, it's poor communication if 90% of the mindless audience doesn't understand the point being debated, he really is a pretentious wanker. We can all use words others don't understand but it's not clever, it's bordering on self importance.

I do however like reading @johnevans posts, tonight I learned the meaning of the word "sesquipedalian". John is not trying to be clever, he is clever but chucks the odd super word in for us all to educate ourselves. Jordan tries to bamboozle people with his aberrant polemics! :-)

Franny's lad and author Bill Borrows on Hawksbee and Jacobs in a bit. Talking about the great man's biography, if anyone is interested.

I think I’m right in saying that Bill was heavily involved with the best City fanzine, Blueprint.

I’m sure @Mad Eyed Screamer can confirm this.
 
Apologies for listening to this shite, but do City's lawyers listen to this crap. if they don't, they should at least monitor it, if they do, they really should take them to task.
6.20 this morning, that stupid rag woman (she alone is a good enough reason to switch off) "City have broken the rules"
Stelling pointed out not found guilty yet, "they have broken the rules by not co-operating". Prior to this, whilst ostensibly discussing Leicester City, said "getting away with it, does not mean you haven't broken the rules," (another City discussion with regards to stripping titles and relegation.

Why do we keep letting them get away with it, got to at least be slanderous?

Message them and tell them they’ve lost another listener due to the biased reporting!

I know its irritating but what you have to realise is that city, their lawyers and their owners operate in a sphere thats so far removed from a tiny little radio station that employs washed up footballers and pundits to shock people into a debate it would be like an elephant swatting a fly on its back, talksport, the mail etc do not have any sort of reach and rely on shock tactics to assuage morons and quite frankly those people who engage with talksport and its ilk simply do not matter to city, their opinion will never be changed, they are dyed in the wool idiots and best left alone to wallow in their own stupidity.

Ah, the the "other world, above it all, sphere" theory.

It’s the feeding of the masses, whilst the club may think a little radio station is irrelevant, us fans , our kids, even my grandchildren are subject to the consequences of these lies/ misinformation.
Whilst the club are doing all they can to fight this in the legal sense, us fans are left to fight it out (sometimes literally) in the real world.
