More odd English and a sad result

And at Doncaster today the great Aidan O'Brien kept saying 'listen' when he was not saying, 'I should have ran a pacemaker'.

But so sad that Camelot did not win and do what Nijinsky did in 1970. And what a pity too that young Joseph did not pull it off.

Had Camelot won today, Aidan O'Brien would have won all five English classics this year.

They seem an amazing team, with mother too.

Like the young man from Tashkent in the Limerick, the Irish habitually use the word "went" when they mean"gone", as in "I never shouda went".

It is so widespread that I now hardly notice it anymore and as far as I am concerned is now part of one element of standard Irish English.

Long live the Vernacular (unless, of course, its a rubbish transliteration of the Latin :)
