Still nice pathetic rejoinder (in the classical sense).
Oi I used fanny as a noun; like cup, saucer or victoria sponge.
Not an adjective.
So there was no negative implication.
Aren't you studying English?
Yes but saying "you are a fanny" is just a weaker way of saying "you are a c***", surely? Hence my silly little feminist obection. 
The only Fanny that Chapper likes is Fanny Cradock.

A fine figure of a woman - possibly.

Again I said that emoticons ressembled e.g. looked like fannies.
Again no negative inferrences or anthropromphisations.
Sorry Scatts but my post feminist new man status is intact.
You're start to see anthrpromophised body parts every where!
nb the new BT advert makes me want to climb inside my telly and stab them all in their soft areas.
Are your posts affected by some sort of static or something Sooty? Key words always seem to be missing.
Dunno I generally watch telly when typing, so I'm neither looking at the screen or the keyboard.
Why does it seem that the majority of my posts go to top of the next page?
Makes me feel like I'm in the next room to everybody else!
Well I'll go to the top of the page!
They're at it again! Will somebody tell these moronic newscasters/commentators that it's NOT MurdoCK - it's MurdoCH as in loCH?

????????
Both loch and dock sound the same to me. Obviously, I'm not putting on the ridiculous throat clearing thing that Jockos do - or as you'd call them Joch-os.
Yeah, we Englishes pronounce dock and loch the same.
(I do fear we all had this exact conversation a year ago! Ah well.)
The newscasters obviously didn't go to Yale.

Same with Americans. I don't know how Americanized he's become over the years but I've never heard an American with that name pronounce it any other way than Murdock.

You should put that joke on Tumblr.
I would RC but I don't have access to the internet unfortunately.
