Lol I've never noticed but yep definately! I will notice now and it will drive me crazy!

DelGirl · 21/10/2012 17:51

ditto loobylou

Some people just can't say certain words. My mum - no matter how hard she tries - cannot say 'cathedral' - she says it 'cath-ear-dral'! Perhaps poor Gary has a similar problem?

I can't say squirrel it comes out as scurrel roll the r's too for a unknown reason

helenthemadex · 21/10/2012 17:56

bit like Tess Daly on SCD saying cupples drives me mad since a friend pointed it out to me

CookingFunt · 21/10/2012 17:59

Every Monday morning I have a work meeting. My manager loves going in detail or as he says To be pacific.
It takes every ounce of self control not to shout out Its Specific you are not an ocean.

IslaValargeone · 21/10/2012 17:59

Tess Daly saying anything drives me mad.

Panzee · 21/10/2012 18:01

How else are you supposed to say couples?

bushymcbush · 21/10/2012 18:03

I used to have a manager who regularly accused us all of being 'lapsidaisical'. I would put on my seriously interested face while thinking what a moron she was.

That's what I was wondering panzee.

InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream · 21/10/2012 18:04

I say cupples, isn't that how its pronounced?

tescocarrierbagexplosion · 21/10/2012 18:06

YANBU Gary Barlow makes me have PMT every Saturday and Sunday!

FreakySnuckerCupidStunt · 21/10/2012 18:55

YANBU I want to tweet Darcey Bussell and tell her to knock off saying 'yar' at the end of every damn sentence.

JustFabulous · 21/10/2012 18:57

YWBR&M if you did.

JustFabulous · 21/10/2012 18:58

Darcy says yeah, not yar.

StrawberryMojito · 21/10/2012 19:02

I've just sat there and tried to say couples in different ways but it is definitely pronounced cupples!

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 21/10/2012 19:05

Simon Cowell says "undoubtably". Maybe you have to be incapable of speaking correctly in order to be a judge on Twat Factor.

marjproops · 21/10/2012 19:13

Like Rafael Nadal, who, bless him, is getting better with his English but says SUFRACE instead of surface when talking about the tennis courts! I dont find it annoying tho, i think its hilarious.

GhostShip · 21/10/2012 19:15

Tweet him and tell him Ghostship is pissed off that he is doing the War Of The Worlds

JeezyOrangePips · 21/10/2012 19:24

Is it sad that I have just put on strictly, solely in the hope that Tess will say couples?

lovelyladuree · 21/10/2012 19:28

Adele making 'crumble' rhyme with 'skyfall'. Crumball. wtf? Can you tweet her while you are at it, please?

ShatnersBassoon · 21/10/2012 19:34

Couple? Huh?

DH can't say reservoir. I might tweet him.

Happygirl77 · 21/10/2012 19:36

I think Tess says 'copples'

thebody · 21/10/2012 19:39

I say binocolears,, that's how my ds pronounced it and I can't now say it properly.

If you tweet Gary tell him another of his acts is going tonight as well.
