Hello Brummies...

Afraid this is a bit of spam, but wondering if you could help me? I've written a ditty about the place I stayed for a couple of years, and am wondering if any of you would know how I could go about reading it out on BRMB or some other station? Anyway, here it is:

You could always try completely rewriting it and shagging/drugging the heads of various Brum radio stations.

P.l.ease, This sort of 'ditty' should of died out when Ned Sherrin moved his from Radio 4 Saturday morning slot. Unfortunately by posting this I add to the number of people who even see it.

Ah come on now, trystero. Ditties can be FOOKIN FUNNY. What about Wierd Al Yankovich's 'Eat It'? That was the most hysterical thing ever when I was seven!

I wrote one years ago to the tune of Alanis Morrisette 'Ironic' it went:

Superman
Wow he could fly
His charm and his poise
Lit up the sky
Then he went on a horse
And hit the deck
Now he's a helpless paraplegic
That speaks out his neck

Isn't it Ironic?
Dontcha think?

**lalalalalalalala

There's more.... go on... beg me for it **

I agree. Maybe BHX could be named after the nearest local village, just like Heathrow and Gatwick are. I suggest Elmdon. What does anyone else think of this idea?

I've heard people call it Elmdon airport, sounds great I think. Is Heathrow a town? I thought it came from Heath Robinson, the madcap inventor...

Should of? SHOULD OF? Tsk, tsk. (I'm standing in for grammarman, by the way. He's otherwise engaged at the moment.)

Surely that's as acceptable as "e'are"? "Should of" and "should have" is blurred in even the faintest of Birmingham dialect, transcripted "Shud 'uv". To say I am unable to tell the difference between "of" and "have" valorises Queen's English Received Pronunciation. Shame on you closet Londoner!. Having said, or rather written, that I should like to offer a deconstructive attack by continuing to uphold speech over writing.

Simple logic bars the path of 'should of.' It makes no sense whatsoever.
