Harleyman Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm sure Carole and Mark have heard worse. It is however a demonstration of how disliked she was by many people and of why it is not appropriate to give her a state funeral. Hated up north amnd revered down south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Whats it got to do with ducks(canard)? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/canard I might be the only person left on this side of the Atlantic who uses the word; you don't come across it very often nowadays. One of the disadvantages of being old is that not only do you lose track of what modern slang means, but a lot of the slang you picked up as a youth only draws completely blank looks as a response. Not knowing French, I actually wasn't aware that the term came out of anything to do with ducks, so we've both learnt something there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 That canard family built some fine ships,like EGGE2,and the Preen Marie,with unsurpassed bouyancy Beyoncé? No, don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnvqsos Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Beyoncé? No, don't like. She is highly seaworthy and has a robust superstructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altus Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hated up north amnd revered down south South east. Regardless, it again shows a state funeral is not appropriate because it wouldn't have nation wide support. You've got more chance of getting Alex Salmond to join in singing the verse of the national anthem with the "Rebellious Scots to crush" line.

VideoPro Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 She can have a state funeral if (and only if) they shoot her coffin out of a cannon into the North Sea. Fireworks and free beer all round after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upinwath Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 She deserves a state funeral (after the sad event of her death). Reasons: She had the balls to save the Falklands She sorted the lefties And..... She bugged the crap out of the French Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
