Alpo Posted November 8 Posted November 8 YouTube short. They have a list. And I'm wondering if the British actually talk like this or if they were doing this stupidly on purpose to make more people look at their video short? Five reasons for blah blah blah Number fifth, number fourth, number third... Not number five, number 4, but number 5th, number fourth. That's about the stupidest damn thing I've ever heard. You suppose the British really talk like that? Quote
Texas Joker Posted November 8 Posted November 8 A judge on a case I was party to once wrote reason the first through reason the fifth, so probably Quote

I've seen item the first. I see no problem with that. But that's not what they said. They said number first, number second, number third. That's idiotic. 1 hour ago, Forty Rod SASS 3935 said: Well, for once I agree with Alpo. For ONCE?????? Quote
