"they want to be equal but they also want them to top them". what a load of crap.

@dimitrovajunkie I will check my Fowler on the "something of the + adhjective" ...

En tout cas, permettez moi de vous remercier de votre gentilesse car mon anglais pourrait sembler archaïque parfois.

Aww Eileen! She's so cool :')

[pinkshrimp]

Could we have the Colin Farell story?? I'm DYING to hear it from her!

[IrishandJazz]

If YOUR going ter teach me grammar and all ... I'm all ears ....

[dimitrovajunkie]

@IrishandJazz Not sure what the objection to your original post was. "There's something uncouth" not "of the uncouth" would probably be more commonly encountered, but I do believe using a prepositional phrase in place of a simple adjective works fine, at least to my ears. Language is flexible, not frozen. btw, the original post itself has an error: "if your going to denounce..." should be "if you're going" -- a contraction of you are not the second person possessive.

[IrishandJazz]

There's something of the uncouth about that man.

I saw this in the West End in mid-August - it's HILARIOUS! Atkins is brilliant but Sophie Thompson is just so incredibly funny. Brilliantly written. I love it love it. want to see it again.

@TSLondon Did you actually think about the message of the play though? I find it problematic. The author decides to kill the only free- thinker in the room. Sad really. Not funny at all.
