yup, saw that. i wouldn't mind, but he feigned injury so the physio could come on to give them to him ffs. i suppose it'll all be revealed that his lack of concentration in a game is due to his sugar levels being low.

I heard they were Lidl brand..good training for Germany.

[Sound]

The only reason I can think of would be low blood sugar levels as they'd be easily metabolised.

[xvis]

i heard they were dutch 'biscuits' ...or as we call them 'space cakes'

[shammy feen]

I wonder how much sponsorship he got from McVities for that?

Seeing as this is a very tenuous "sports" forum at the best of times, perhaps you could let me know how you pronounce "Lidl?"

Do you say it as: "Lie-Dill," or "Lid-Ill?"


I am quite interested in this, in order to settle an argument down the pub.


Thanks.

i've always clalled it lid-ill

[Actin The Sham]

Me too.

Thanks for the clarification.

[MonTheHoops]

It's Lie-dill

[Actin The Sham]

It's Lie-dill

Somebody else now is just after introducing a third possible pronunciation:

Lee-Dill.

So now we have:

Lie-Dill,

Lid-Ill,


Lee-Dill.


Which is correct?


The things i worry about.

[STEVIEG]

This calls for a poll!

[Actin The Sham]

This calls for a poll!

What about "Aldi?"


Do you say "Al-Dee," or "Al-Die?"

Such was the gravity of this issue, I checked with my girlfriend (who is German) and the correct pronunciation rhymes with "needle".

So there.

I say Al-Dee but i'm defo not an authority on these matters!

[pepe_le_pooh]

By the same authority mentioned earlier, it is Al-dee.

Thank you.


On a related issue, does she shave under her arms?

Thank you.

I understnd your question, and yes, she does. Otherwise there would be an immediate red card issued.

[shammy feen]

Suggestion to Stevie G.

Have spot prizes of Jaffa Cakes on Black on Red.

It would be like Freakscene handing out the lollypops years ago...

[STEVIEG]

Might do

[FL4ZGN]

Roguetrader works there.

[CHANCE]

Lads are ye for real or what ? Who gives a fuck how its pronounced,its hardly going to make a blind bit of difference.This is a sposrts forum not the bollocks around about some german shop forum.FFS

[bricktop]

now now. i call em all poor mans tesco ha ha ha.....seriously though, i've seen cork city u21s and arsenal eat jaffa cakes at half time too. must be something to do with energy and sugar....might have to have them for breakfast from now on he he
it says on the pack that sports nutritionists advise athletes to eat jaffa cakes to increase energy levels.

[Lamps]

How shit is this thread. Nimic is singlehandedly turning this place into the langers forum and you have gowls actually going along with him.

[STEVIEG]

I've partaken in a lot worse threads here
And so have you

[MonTheHoops]

Tim Howard has gone on a season long loan to Everton.

That's Ev-er-ton

I love Jaffa cakes.....so my views on the merits of this thread may be slightly clouded.

[STEVIEG]

It could have been Taytos
Where's Dinny Irwin when ya need him

[STEVIEG]

Toffee's for Tim

[west cork rebel]

Toffee's for Tim

would that be t-t-t-fuck!-shit!-toffee's

[emurf]

Everton will suit him. He's got touretts syndrome hasn't he.

A thread on the pronouciation of German supermarkets surely ranks as one of the worst. You should know that,apart Jonathan O keefe in leather pants, if there's one thing Nimic and his langers forum cronies get off on its wordplay.

Mockery, this place is slipping.

Well the very fact that you still call him Nimic would indicate that we have long since slipped into the abyss

edited because it was not in the least bit funny or suave.

You've obviously never had Mr Choc Jaffa cakes from Lidl then...they are fantastic....dont be such a grump and have a jaffa cake.

[STEVIEG]

Heh heh I was gonna but resisted

There is wordplay for the sake of it(Nimic and the langers) and then hilarious relevant sports forum kind like if i said "Cockery of biblical proportions" when describing the antics of christiano ronaldo on a night on the town.

Niall Fitz is testament to this
