That left wing rag. It's not in the 1979 Collins.

It seemed a sort of ill-fitting, throwaway offensive line for no good reason, unless whoever edited it thought that the 'would' would fly over everyone's heads. <em>Very</em> Frankie Boyle and I don't mean that in a good way. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=810#post-2160 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:47:29 +0000 AdrianJ 2160@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated.</p> <p>However, I would like to point out that I didn't actually pen the Rebecca Adlington line, as I don't want to do a 'Frankie Boyle', and stymie my glittering television career before it's even begun.</p> <p>Although I perfectly understand the irritation caused by the tendency to use nouns for verbs nowadays - in my defence - if it's good enough for the <a href="http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/00304422?query_type=word&amp;queryword=medal&amp;first=1&amp;max_to_show=10&amp;sort_type=alpha&amp;result_place=2&amp;search_id=uab0-FbjoYL-3370&amp;hilite=00304422">OED</a>, then it's good enough for me. ;o) </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=810#post-2146 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:19:34 +0000 ramblesid 2146@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'm totally according with Salty's commentising </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=810#post-2131 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 10:19:47 +0000 seymour totti 2131@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Very very silly, very very childish.</p> <p>Love it! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=810#post-2118 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:08:21 +0000 antharrison 2118@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Brilliant FP Adrian - really made me laugh when I read the initial story </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=810#post-2114 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:56:14 +0000 saltire 2114@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Well done Adrian.
