Shillzz Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 When people steal on golden balls. rocket polishers. I thought about this, and really, you should always steal. If the other person steals, you lose regardless, there's nothing you can do about that, so you may aswell deprive them of the money. And if the other person doesnt steal, you double your money. It's a very clever paradox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very clever paradox.Exactly, you should always steal, especially when you don't 'know' the person sitting across from you. It's so cringeworthy when they try and negotiate. Saying that, if I stole I'd probably split the money two ways if I won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very clever paradox. I'd rather the money be won that noone get the money. Plus I have faith in human trust! It is always nice when two people split. Someone stole somin like £60,000+ the other day, ouch. I couldn't do that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted November 24, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2010 I can't really pronounce the word "polo" (or I guess any word with the prefix pol: poltergeist, polish etc etc) Dunno why, i can do it if I try. But if I just say Polo I pronounce it sort of powlo. Like paulo but with less emphasis on the a. True story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slur some of my words, if I'm talking fast then I have trouble saying things with too many m's in them like "my mom".. it comes out as "m'mom"..

Stevo985 Posted November 24, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2010 Nah it's not brummie sounding. It's weird. Somewhere between being from Birmingham, having anIrish mother (with an accent) and living in Leeds for 3 years, i must have just picked it up.

theunderstudy Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 My dad grew up in Nuneaton, so I doubt it's a Brummie thing, particularly as I used to have a Brummie accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Since when was a fecking polar bear a po-lah bear? You english may dislike the letter R but the rest of us (minus the asian fellows) quite like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 24, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2010 We English are non-rhotic (unless we're from the west country or Lancashire). As for the "powlar" thing, it's definitely Brummie. I've lived in Yorkshire for 38 of my 56 years and have almost completely lost my Brummie accent - but experienced accent spotters have told me that that sound is still the one that gives me away. Someone once got me as Brummie after hearing me say "Polish" (as in the nationality). That first syllable nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they keep free sites going, so I just try to ignore them, but repetitive ones that start on youtube videos make me want to punch my screen.
