The G Man Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 All my socks have holes in them?? Otherwise how do you get your foot in? extra holes Quote
Fodder Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 It's funny but my socks end up with extra holes due to the dog. She's like a ninja when hanging the washing out. You don't notice ones missing until you get to the bottom of the basket and there's one sock left Quote
ioneabee Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Mine are too religeous to throw away Quote
glrnet Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Without the wish to seem confrontational why do so many Scots say mines or mine's when the correct word is mine? Just asking and interested to know. Quote
Fodder Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Without the wish to seem confrontational why do so many Scots say mines or mine's when the correct word is mine? Just asking and interested to know. Have you asked the French why they wear striped jumpers and hang onions around their necks? Sorry couldn't resist. I'm guessing its just regional dialect which has made it's way to written word but I have wondered over similar things in the past Edited September 5, 2013 by Fodder Quote

They do have a lot to answer for I guess Quote
Dblock Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Must be a Glasgow thing. No one says mines on the east coast. But then again we aren't savage west coasters. Quote
LRF4N Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I never say mines unless I talk about people digging for gold Neil and George just had crap teachers Quote
glrnet Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I never say mines unless I talk about people digging for gold Neil and George just had crap teachers Oh, I see, good old coal isn't good enough!!? Quote
Neilp Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I never say mines unless I talk about people digging for gold Neil and George just had crap teachers its because myself and George both have real men jobs. We're not all posh dentists! Quote
AliveBoy Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 And American's say "anyways" that always irritates me! Anyway, back to the conversation. Mine just vanish from the draw when they get holes in, it's only happened in the 4 years since I started living with my girlfriend though, so I think she has a connection with the sock fairy or something.

squit Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Mine all go to the dogs, although they're the ones that usually cause the holes Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Mine use to disappear before they even got holes in them, Bruno eats them like crazy! Quote
ddcboyle Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 My dog chews my new socks. So really... the socks with holes in them come to me. Dog always gets the new ones Quote
