I just heard the proper pronunciation of 'tabbouleh'.
Holy shit.

No idea what that even means but is it not tab boo lay?
Either that or ta-boo-la.Originally Posted by Smiffy
Ta-boo-lay, yeah.
I always read it as ta-bool-y.
Holy shit, it's a whole one syllable different!
Slow morning?
It sounds pretty different when you say it.
Wait, the proper one is probably more tab-oo-lay.
Or perhaps not.

Why would it end "ee"?
I always said tab-ulla and most likely will continue to.
I was going by what James Martin said on TV. He's a chef, he should know.
Who is that aimed at?
You obviousl-ee.
My ys don't sound like 'ee'.
Also if I'm spelling something out phoentically and wanted an 'ee' sound, I'd obviously write 'ee'.
This is the first time I've even seen the word.
I guess that's fair but it makes it a pretty useless way to represent something phonetically.
Speaking of James Martin, I never knew it was Blanchmonge and not Blamonge.
Towcester, Bicester, and Magdelen are going to blow your mind.
Wait until you see Milngavie.
Cleopatra was closer in history to the moon landing (and the present) than she was to the construction of the Great Pyramid.
Wait until you see Fetherstonhaugh, which despite me knowing the "correct" pronunciation, I still pronounce it as I see it. Rebel.
I'd heard that one before but couldn't remember the correct prnunciation so had to look it up - Fan-shaw?
That's just one of those posh names English people have to confuse the proles though, isn't it?
Tabbouleh.
Says the Irishman. Home of the ridiculous name.
Yeah but everyone here knows how to pronounce them. You lot use them to subtly differentiate within your own society.
What a load of bollocks that one is. At least the stupid Scottish and Irish ones are derived from another language.
It is. Someone obviously made it up for a laugh, and somehow it stuck.
You say potato I say ghoughpteighbteau.
How do you lot pronounce Greenhalgh's?
It's a surname and a well-known bakery.
Green-halls/Green-alls or green-hall-jizz/green-all-jizz?
I'm a twit
Green-alls, like overalls.
I suppose the 'a' could be shorter, like in Alan rather than in always.
Milngavie is a cracker. I think I was about fourteen before realising that and 'Mulguy' were the same place.
That would have been around the same time I learned how to say 'conchiglie' properly, actually. A formative time.
Probably when I learned that somebody had given the responsibility of interviewing new employees to Diljeet.
To use this thread in exactly the way I always used the one on TTH... Today is the birthday of former model and occasional actress Christine Brinkley. Guess how old she is?
She looks like she's around 41. I'm going to go with that.
I'm going to say 54.
She looks a lot younger though.
Mid to late 50's I reckon, I'll go for 58 although you wouldn't be asking if it wasn't something ridiculous like 70.

The bottom picture is from late November apparently. Top one some time last year. You can tell a bit more in photos that show her arms/legs but I guess everything else shows the wonders of botox and makeup (and obviously good diet/healthy lifestyle/good genes if we're not being too bitter).
I'm disappointed you revealed it before I got to post '85' and ruin it for you.
One of my favourite things that, ruining people's guessing games.
Post it in the unsurprising things thread, since we all know you're a knob already.
'These trainers were a fucking bargain. Guess how much.'
'Six quid?'
'Fuck off.'
That's Green-olshes
