I remember Shane Richie doing a joke.

He had a glass of water and said he's gonna turn it into a cake.

He drank the water down and said "Sgone"


His comedy career didn't take off.

But seriously, scone like Ron, Don, John, Vince Vaughn etc.

See, to me, "scoan" doesn't sound like a posher way of saying it - it sounds like a Glasgow Ned trying to say "Skon".

"Aye pal I had a pure gid yin last night, a wee bottl'ae buckfast and wan a they fruit scoans. Pure magic min."

Yeah if you said Scon here you would sound English therefore posh :fan:

If you come from Kerry or West Cork, you would pronounce it Schkown

wtf is a Cairngorm?

Well a Cairngorm is a gem or

But i was referring to the Cairngorm mountains, the highest range of mountains in the UK

and on which all the snow melted this year for the first time since 2006. Normally a small parch stays all through the summer and autumn.

Imagine if this was me who had tried to have this joke with another member, you'd have deleted that in a second, wouldn't you?

If I report every single one of your posts are you going to delete them? no you're not. So you don't have to delete mine when some snowflake reports mine.

that way you can avoid threads that these people are in

I will delete what i think is delete worthy, that's my job as a moderator. I think you are really over reacting to something so trivial tbqh. That's all I'm saying on it now, carry on if you must
