According to Nush....

(sorry if someones already posted this. ignore me, I'll go away!)

Another piece of the jigsaw...

So that's why Cameron's got all this pent-up aggression!

Ok lock up the sheep, cams on the loose.

Thought it would be something more than this...wasn't this mentioned somewhere previously? Can't understand why BB cut it though

Someone should tell Nush that Cammy being a virgin doesn't really come as a big shock!

I see Nush took Jon's advice and made it into a Sunday paper. Some interesting details in the article. Take it with a pinch of salt as always.

good publicity stunt.
get the rest of the sorry vote

seriously

he said it was about lisa so thats utter shite

ok whos got the tennis balls to throw over to tell the twit we know his secret

no wonder he walks the way he does ......the pressure down there must be hell

He did, didn't he? He said (something along the lines of) it was something that had occurred to him on the wednesday night (ie the leprechaun snogathon night) and was to do with the housemate that left...Lisa.

Maybe Lisa offered to break him in .....

I do recall his "secret" was to do with someone in the house, but I didn't know it was to do with Lisa.

Hmmm.

I suppose this does make him more enigmatic to the phalanx of sad spin dryer suburban housewives who love him so. I'm told women are very intrigued by the unattainable and he'll possibly be regarded as even more of a Mr.Darcy/Rochester fantasy figure.

If you're that desperate to impress that you have to use a word like 'phalanx', at least learn how to use it properly

Phalanx when used in context of a group of people can only be used when to denote formal arrangement or organisation, which Cameron's fan base is clearly not.

Yikes - a formal arrangement of Cameron fans. The mind boggles.

Maybe Cameron likes to formally arrange his fans.

In his cellar.

Ooooch Noooo. I dinnna really mean than. In the nicest possible way.

Oh, stop being so didactic.

That's old news ................................been around for weeks .......... although it's probably only just got through Nush's thick skull.

Sorry 'didactic' doesn't count as an obscure or esoteric word as it's one I use regularly in the course of my job

I thought 'phalanx' was another name for the male naughty bit!

Actually I think a better name for Cameron supporters would be "Tappets", because they're Cam Followers! (boy's joke - not something the girlies would understand )

Ok - stop being wrong. "Phalanx" can mean "close knit body of people". And if you'd seen the cardigans that the Cameron supporters were wearing you would agree that they were definitely a close knit body of people.

Actually in formal English it can't -how long did it take for you to look that up then. I suggest you get a new dictionary.

In support -the OED definition:

Main Entry: pha·lanx
Pronunciation: 'fA-"la[ng](k)s,
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural pha·lanx·es or pha·lan·ges /f&-'lan-(")jEz, fA-, 'fA-", British usually fa-/
Etymology: Latin phalang-, phalanx, from Greek, battle line, digital bone, literally, log -- more at BALK
Date: 1553
1 : a body of heavily armed infantry in ancient Greece formed in close deep ranks and files; broadly : a body of troops in close array
2 plural phalanges : one of the digital bones of the hand or foot of a vertebrate
3 plural usually phalanxes a : a massed arrangement of persons, animals, or things b : an organized body of persons

Perfected by Philip II of Macedon and used by Alexander the Great no less. Gee the standards on this board are slipping.

That's odd- that is the Merriam-Webster definition - letter for letter, dot for dot. Exact in every repect.

Phalanx

The Oxford definition includes "a united or organized party or company" - Cameron fans are a united party, without doubt. My own copy of the SOED is in the loft, and I can't really be bothered, but it, and the OED, will include this definition.

Begone, troll.
