Re: Correct English
All I missed out Ivan was the one night I would have wanted more than one in my younger days, and as I was paying for it I wasn't going to ask for any of her extra favours, wishes or anything else. Anyhow it was just a ceremony asking how much never paid in any case never had any money. Cheers those were the days. Cappy hope you never got the words mixed up and said Jildy Jildy, Hindi for quickly quickly, that would have kept you down to your fighting weight. Cheers JS
Ref. the previous can just imagine cappy flaked out saying Asti Asti, easy easy. JS

Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?
Hiccough has the sound of cup.
My advice is to give up!!!
That was amazing,and the following sentence containing NINE different pronounciations of the "ough" sound would be ideal for testing English for foreign language students oral examinations.
' The tough dough-faced ploughboy coughed and hiccoughed his way through the borough to Lough Erne where he bought another horse'.
