IN RESPONSE TO THE ENGLISH/AMERICAN-ENGLISH/BRITISH THREAD

Wey aye, me bonny lad! Ah wus larned tha' by me ma and da when Ah wus jus a wee bairn.

Seriously Walter, much kudos mate! Where did you "'larn y'sel Geordie"? If I say Lampton Worm do you know what I mean?

I'm sure the good people of Liverpool would take offence at your stereotype, Walter!






Because "books are for puffs", they use bricks now... :wink:

S'alright, Boss, we burned York (Toronto) three times to your one . . . We've got it locked up in a best of five series . . .

You've left out an instructive bit of information for our right-pondian friends--a damned Yankee is a tourist; a g*ddamned Yankee is one who comes to stay. I think you might slide with Brit, so long as you're not spray-painting Brits Out, Éire Nua on the side of the local government house . . .

And I thought, it was totally the other way round because of

Whisht! lads, haad yor gobs,
Aa'll tell yer aall and aaful story,
Whisht! lads, haad yor gobs,
An' Aal tell yer 'bout the woorm.

But actually, Grand Duke, I've been an itsy bitsy teeny weeny bit cheating :wink:

Yas a geet clivvor blurk, Waltor, an' let nee blurk sa otherwise...

That is yen iv the best sites ah hev seen in a lang time.

:wink:

Howdy Duke, is youall kin to Bo and Luke the Duke boys from down Hazard County ways? Iffin so I aint got no quarrel with youall bein grand and all. We had an old grand peeano and iffin you hit the keys hard enuff she could let out quite a yell.

I hope youall aint from a sholdeerin family who had 10,000 men and marched them up the hill. Anyhoo, thankee for your sayins ahbout the missin ?'i' I was just goin to put shutters around the porch to keep them skeeters out and I don't want to go ahbout orderin the rong materal.

Give my regards to the Dutchess.

**** man, you've found me out! I was featured in the first pilot episode, as the long-lost cousin from England. I had a cravat and vintage Aston Martin in British Racing Green. Imagine, if you will, Higgins from Magnum PI and you're along the right lines.

As for my 10,000 men - it's a touchy subject. Some fool of a prime minister passed a law preventing the aristocracy from keeping private armies. I had to make them all redundant. Most of them have found gainful employment now, which is a relief.

I am currently without a Duchess, so if you know any pretty girls who'd like to live in a castle, let me know...

Well, strap me to a hog and call her Daisy. I done seen youall on the movin picture show.

'Cor blimey Gov.!' I'll Go to the foot of our stairs. Down hereaways we say;

Come here, maw little Jacky,
Now aw've smoked mi backy,
Let's hev a bit o' cracky,
Till the boat comes in.

Chorus:
Dance ti' thy daddy, sing ti' thy mammy,
Dance ti' thy daddy, ti' thy mammy sing;
Thou shall hev a fishy on a little dishy,
Thou shall hev a fishy when the boat comes in.

Here's thy mother humming,
Like a canny woman;
Yonder comes thy father,
Drunk - he cannot stand.

Chorus:
Dance ti' thy daddy, sing ti' thy mammy,
Dance ti' thy daddy, ti' thy mammy sing;
Thou shall hev a fishy on a little dishy,
Thou shall hev a haddock when the boat comes in.

Our Tommy's always fuddling,
He's so fond of ale,
But he's kind to me,
I hope he'll never fail.

Chorus:
Dance ti' thy daddy, sing ti' thy mammy,
Dance ti' thy daddy, ti' thy mammy sing;
Thou shall hev a fishy on a little dishy,
Thou shall hev a bloater when the boat comes in.

I like a drop mysel',
When I can get it sly,
And thou, my bonny bairn,
Will lik't as well as I.

Chorus:
Dance ti' thy daddy, sing ti' thy mammy,
Dance ti' thy daddy, ti' thy mammy sing;
Thou shall hev a fishy on a little dishy,
Thou shall hev a mackerel when the boat comes in.

May we get a drop,
Oft as we stand in need;
And weel may the keel row
That brings the bairns their bread.

Chorus:
Dance ti' thy daddy, sing ti' thy mammy,
Dance ti' thy daddy, ti' thy mammy sing;
Thou shall hev a fishy on a little dishy,
Thou shall hev a salmon when the boat comes in.

May youall never come back from the kreek without a bucketful of catfish.

Straight'nin' the curve,
Flat'nin' the hills.
Someday the moutain might get 'em, but the law never will.

Makin' their way,
The only way they know how,
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.

Just good ol' boys,
Wouldn't change if they could,
Fightin' the system like a true modern day Robin Hood.

Y'all come back now, y'hear?

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Hold the front page…Breaking news. Australians ?'were first Americans'

The first people to colonise America were Australians, according to a study of a "lost tribe" that perished in California in the 18th century.

A team of archaeologists have analysed human remains and the result promises to rewrite the history books, says Silvia Gonzalez head of the Natural Environmental Research Council. AP

Well, don't that take the bikkie, beaut mate. This news is a biggie. Goodbye bayou, bob's your uncle billabong, this is bonzer. I'm off to get adrians. Rhyming slang for drunk. (From tennis player's name Adrian Quist. Quist rhymes with pissed, hence drunk.) avagoodweegend matey.

I think basically tryagain, I want you to **** off this thread, however as you are obviously capable of stringing a phrase or two together, stick around

sorry about the split infinitive

Well now I've read all the happy banter of the last few pages and

just try again to remember

gd and walter excellent Geordie impersonations. Was in the Baltic exchange just recently

Hoping, you donated some money there as well!

Steve, my old cobber I'm mighty chuffed for your 4x, a beaut nectar. I was only joshing with you. You Pommies are not onkus. It's just that I am a bit ocker.

I will be back at the end of the annual Dingo roundup. Throw a yabbie on the Barbie for me! :wink:

Well it was free entry and in there was a dark room with 200 loudspeakers hanging at different heights and all speaking in different languages, then there was the boxes and the cases of stuff .....yawn
