RickMcD Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Another classic Rick story....................................is it real or is it made up......................who cares, a classic, none the less. The guy who told me that story a couple of years back swore it was true but I'm not saying it is. He was (and still is) a crazy, half drunk Irishman but he's the kind of guy who can have you in stitches from the way he tells them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Buddie Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Then of course you get illiterates using OF instead of HAVE. (Silent k) Knobs When we lived in Durham, my youngster was in third year at school. The English English teacher red-lined her sentence with the word "could've" in it and wrote "could of" beside it. Her face was a picture when I pulled her up about it at the next parents' evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintnextlifetime Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Blocked is probably the most common word for it over here. Is originally a sixties term used by London Mod's. It refers to the Mods' use of Purple Hearts which was known as getting "blocked." The Block was the dance of an intoxicated Mod "blocked" on Purple Hearts. I'm not suggesting that one had to be on speed to dance the Block, it was more in the form of a parody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We better not tell him there was a band from Illford called the Purple Hearts , as that could really mess things up. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMcD Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Is this Rick's way of telling us that NI has finally made it to the 60's? Dunno when 'blocked' came into common usage here. What did start in the 60's was a spate of trouble brought about by a vocal majority wanting independence of a sort. But that's another story. Northern Ireland is by and large a forward looking country but we will always have those who dig up grievances from the past and go on and on about them. Sounds kind of familiar.
