Can anyone please let me know why Fearne is pronouncing espadrilles in such a strange way? :confused:

[KingTutsWWH]

Oh. Thought this thread was going to be entitled Can anyone tell me, Why does Fearne, say...

a.have a job at Radio 1?

b. talk utter garbage most of the time?

c. have a particularly irritating put on over-enthusiatic, bordering on patronising manner?

d. make me switch over to another station?

Feel free to go on if you like. I could.

Back on topic. 'cos she's a thickie. Espadrilles are pronounced /espadreel/. If you can do a roll on the 'r', even better.

[Hammer]

She said it during the Moyles handover, had her pronunciation corrected and then went on to continue to say it wrong anyway. In one ear and out the other

[Andy Mac]

You know I thought I heard her corrected. Maybe she thinks it's a very "Fashion" thing to do...it's not. It's just wrong.

PS Have you noticed she does that David Brent thing of using the French word for something or saying something like,

"Mumatron and I went away at the weekend and stayed in a beautiful cottaaaarrrge"

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

She thinks she's Del Boy, that's what it is, the guy who uses Au Revoir when meeting someone etc... surely it's not possible to have watched too much Only Fools And Horses? :confused:

[Tom.]

she also says "look [at this]" or have a look at this all the time. so annoying...

She's not a thickie... Big deal if she couldn't say a word properly : I can't say burglary (does this make me a menace in society).

She's a talented little lady. She's got better in that radio time slot, but is still more suited to TV presenting, with her bubbly attitude/outlook.

I like her fashion designs too... bit expensive, but nice!!

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

burglary (does this make me a menace in society)

Yes... well if you do it repeatedly... oh, you meant you can't SAY it...:hahaha:

[Viv]

Funny!! an ex-bf taught me a way of saying it:-

You say the word "Burger" then add the rest.

[Roy H]

Burgerlary? Thats what Westwood would probably say, georaphically speaking........

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Burgerlary?

That's when you steal Big Macs and Whoppers, isn't it?

[Viv]

Ha ha!! This topic is out of control!! :hahaha:

[Roy H]

That's when you steal Big Macs and Whoppers, isn't it?

Very droll! I heard of a case recently where a guy was charged with Cheeseburgerlary - he asked for six other cases of fries to be considered...........

[Viv]

Just love the way topix can go from discussions about shoes to cheeseburgers!!

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Very droll! I heard of a case recently where a guy was charged with Cheeseburgerlary - he asked for six other cases of fries to be considered...........

SIX CASES of Fries? Most people just have a large portion, What a fat bas...

[Roy H]

Well they are not that far apart. I had a Maccy D the other week that tasted like old boots.........

[Roy H]

SIX CASES of Fries? Most people just have a large portion, What a fat bas...

He was accused of trying to make it large for 50p.........

[Viv]

McDonalds coffee is quite cheap!! Like the prices, but not the taste so much!! :hahaha:

A tad too much water....

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

He was accused of trying to make it large for 50p.........

ahh I see, would he risk it for a choccie biscuit?

[Viv]

Can't even understand this now (confused.co.uk)

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

So you're not gonna judge for some Fudge?

[Viv]

Or fudge for some judge.

[Roy H]

Time to bring this back on topic. I'm just nipping out for a Starbucks.

Now where are my espadrilles?.............

[Viv]

Who'd wear those anyway?! Gladiators are the way forward!!

I don't know why, but I suddenly have this completely random image of the Cotton running along the street outside R1 in her bare feet, followed by Mumatron ... hmmmm....

time for some caffeine!!

[Roy H]

..........or Uggs?
