Would you care to comment again on your theory that Cueto scored in the 2007 RWC....and that the Poms should have gotten a penalty try in 91.

 

And while we have you here, could you further motivate your comment, by inference, that South African girls are mannish.

 

Thanks.

I have no desire to comment on anything other than your use of the word " gotten ".....a dreadful Americanism if ever there was one.

 

But I see I've hit a nerve and I'm happy to leave it at that unless you wish to discuss your nasty little comments about English women, comments which I have had to put up with for years.

Well as with most things you accuse Americans of ....the origin is back in good old Pomerania:

 

"But you know what? "Gotten" is British. Just like other supposedly American words, like "garbage". We’ve just stopped using it, that’s all.

The word dates back to the Middle Ages, actually. While UK English-speakers phased it out over time, Americans kept it going and gave it nuances we Brits don’t perhaps realise. We tend to think of "gotten" as the equivalent past participle form of our "got". But it appears to be more subtle than that."

 

Hope that helps. I said English girls are painted and tend to be horsey. I stand by that, far too much make up. And the 'horsey" comment is pretty common in the RSA and USA. I think it derives from certain facial types and disastrous dental work.

 

But you said our girls are "mannish". Which I have never heard before.....what's your justification for the comment?
