Pictures-queue

[midnightsun]

I just heard Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2 reading aloud from a Cannes Boat & Yacht Show press release and he pronounced the word picturesque (as in "the picturesque French Riviera") "picture-scyoo". Then followed the item by announcing that today is International Literacy Day. Without a hint of irony.

bangs head on table: just once, but quite hard

Haha, his whole brain has gone squiffy - definitely askew!

But are you really, really sure he was not being ironic? Or perhaps the press release was badly spelled? That's not impossible....

He always says that - he says A-lien too. Doesn't make him funny though

I have a MIL who can't pronounce the word Statuesque - she says Stachoozike....

Don't get me started on Steve Wright. If he talks about the "interweb" one more time..... I agree he is trying to be ironic but it's not clever or remotely funny.

And as for singing all over the tracks......

Ah maybe he was trying to be ironic. I see. Well that was hilariously funny then. Shudder.

I'd imagine the kind of person who thinks it's funny to mispronounce picturesque on purpose also thinks it's cool to say cheeriebye.

hey cats he's just been wacky and kule and is one of the kidz, ok yah

in other words, like the eggs I found at the back of the fridge yesterday.....

.......hopelessly out of date.

Um, how else does one pronounce 'alien'?

Ay - lee - un, no? Have I been making a terrible folks paz all these years? [wacky dj humour]

Dingy - he says it with the Al - like you would say the name Alex - Al - ee - Un...

So like the name Alan but with an 'ee' sound after the 'l'?

What a prat.

And I'm pronouncing that 'cock'.

- yes that's right (wright) - and he does talk all over the 'toons'...

He plays songs?

Well I never.

I thought he was allergic to music.

Mind you, I've not listened to him in years.

It serves me wright for not changing stations at once when his show began.
