How the hell can you just say you won't like something if you've never even read a word. What the hell is harry potter if it's not actiony or boyish? Books aren't sex specific for gods sake. Both of steven kings most famous films are hardly "actiony" Watch The Green mile, £10 says you will cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotchDave Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Because the guy who was speaking is Scottish, you tit :P Hence he speaks in a Scottish way. If it was all in standard English, she'd have to put "He said in a blatantly f**king thick Scottish accent" all the time... ← Now now mark, am I going to have to have the "stop picking on scots" discussion with you. :D *mumble* supposed to set an exampl, bah, humbug*mumble* You could save yourself the time reading J.K rowling now you know the ending and read a far superior book like something by steven king or Wilbur smith. ← Superior, okay, good no. :rolleyes:" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrie-Anne Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Simon, you make me sound like a wimp! :D lol. I don't like that type of books, i read 'chick flick' books, and haven't ever gotten into anything else... Have tried to but it takes alot of effort, and i prefer an easy reading book! Harry Potter isn't boyish, its just fantasyish. I know what i mean... sorry didn't mean for people to have a go or get angry... :P :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Now now mark, am I going to have to have the "stop picking on scots" discussion with you. :D *mumble* supposed to set an exampl, bah, humbug*mumble* Superior, okay, good no. :rolleyes:" ← I'm going to assume from the way you 100% missed the point you didn't read the post I quoted? He was asking why it was in regional dialect. The guy speaking was Scottish. It would therefore be in a Scottish regional accent, which is what I was saying. He was saying it was stupid. I was saying it would be shit if she had to keep saying "He said in a Scottish accent." I'm not picking on Scottish people, you're just not reading the thread, cockface B) How's that for an example :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 I have got the harry potter book and have read it. Overall its good, the ending is good. So haha munki you didnt spoil it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Because the guy who was speaking is Scottish, you tit (Y) Hence he speaks in a Scottish way. If it was all in standard English, she'd have to put "He said in a blatantly f**king thick Scottish accent" all the time... ← The first bit is all good, but it's the bit in bold I don't like. "He said in a scottish accent" would have been acceptable. Anyway the guy who acts Hagrid (name escapes my multiply concussed brain) lives fairly near me and his kids go to my school. So if you're being rude about us scots, I'll have him set on you. :- Also in my defence I read that thred at about 7 minutes to midnight and was about to go to sleep.

Sameer Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 (edited) A thick accent is nothing to feel insulted about...?! Like if I were to put on a Scottish accent, it wouldn't be as strong (/thick) as someone from the high hills on the moors of Scotland. Ah, I can't explain it fo' shizzy. Basically he wasn't taking the piss outta Scots in the slightest. On a related note, I've never read a Harry Potter book. Might do one day. Getting through 'Angels and Demons' at the moment though.

Sam Nichols Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Sorry but that really really isn't funny at all. Why spoil it for other people? Sure you think it's shit and couldn't care less about it but to be perfectly honest you're a tosser. I'm not sure why you lost your SM status but I'm pretty sure you deserved it, and this is another reason to add to the list of you not deserving to be one. Idiot.

Liss xxx ← Don't bother with War and Peace. All it is, is a fairly decent novel, but with interludes of Tolstoy ranting about whatever he feels like at the time, which is usually something to do with the way history was recorded and the fact that we make heroes out of people. Andy P.S. sorry you have to study it; i'm sure it'll be more fun than Bertholt Brecht's 'The Caucasian Chalk Circle' which we had to do.
