legov Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Jesus' disciples is the usual form, too. Or Moses' followers, etc. Is it still pronounced "Moseses followers" though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted December 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2012 St. James' Park is fine. I'm an English teacher, so I have the final say, as I'm not never wrong on nothing grammatical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I like animals but I would never give money to an animal charity while people are suffering. I'm the opposite, I'll only give to animal charities. Animals are nice, people aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I'm the opposite, I'll only give to animal charities. Animals are nice, people aren't. If one species deserves extinction, it's us. Just let Villa win a trophy first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I don't give to charities, and I hate the sanctimonious attitude some have when it cpmes to giving to charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Was gonna say, that's what I remember being taught. If a name ends in "s", you drop the possessive second "s" and just add the apostrophe. Not picking on you, Gareth, just using your post as a way in (ooer). I seem to remember this being discussed on many occasions on VT and I'll repeat my take on it: When a name ends in s and is a singular then the form can be either -s' or s's (I prefer the latter) and should be pronounced -ses: That is Jones's parking space there. When a name ends in s and is a plural then the form is -s' and should be pronounced -s: That is the Joneses' parking space there. There may, however, be exceptions to the first, for example names whose last syllables sound 'iz or 'eez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted December 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2012 The love for the first Mad Max movie. Massively overrated, a pretty poor movie in terms of story, acting etc and yet has a huge cult following. If you want the best Mad Max movie, just watch The Road Warrior. Now that is a masterpiece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted December 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2012 Well, that was the last day at work, that was. Mediocre food, lots of booze. Massively impressed by female colleague in the pub afterwards: Her: Pinot Grigiot, please. Barmaid: Large or small? Her: Bottle, please. Barmaid: How many glasses? Her: Just the one, thanks. Respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted December 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2012 My other half got her secret Santa gift today. A wine glass large enough to hold a whole bottle. She thought it was great, I just despaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 **** me man what the **** is the matter with people? I went on my works meal as discussed earlier in the thread I ate had a few glasses of wine and **** off without saying a fat lot to anyone for a few reasons 1-I don't **** like the majority of the **** I work with 2-I wanted a quiet night in my local 3-when I do go out with work I always end up being the talking point on a Monday morning either cuz I have made a dick of myself or because I have upset someone by gently reminding them what a complete arsehole I think they are. Well **** me it's 3:20am and I have just woke up to about 9 **** text messages from a **** big orrible bird who has obviously had a full on discussion with every other word removed in the office, **** knows what she has been banging on about to them but her last three **** txt messages are grovelling appologise. **** me off I txt her at 9 o'clock telling her to **** off and stop embarrassing herself with the shit she was talking about but nah at 3 o **** clock she can't **** help herself and still feels the need to discuss me with other words removed I don't like when I ain't even there. Keep your **** delusional fantasies to yourself you **** mess and please don't **** txt me at 3am to advise me you have made a word removed of yourself...**** idiot I suppose come Monday everyone will think I am madly in love or in a relationship with the parasitic arse hole and I will have to justify the fact that I am indeed not a fan of hers at all. Wouldn't mind bu I know she has been going on to the one bird there that I actually like and get on with so **** knows what **** shite the drunkern **** has said to her **** hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
