Owld sage Rote
----------------------------------------Can't believe your 'mincepies' Aye mince pies =eyes the aye at the end is a suffix that Tony uses, a dialect form of speech from where he lives Most of England use some form of Rhyming slag or local versions of it. the list that scribe gave might have been correct at the time of writing and is in a state of flux all the time If I was to go for a takeaway say a Curry I would go for a "Ruby" The phrase has lost the rhyming part but those that know a a Ruby is referring to RUBY MURRY a singer from the late sixties so generations will adapt up the apples and pears would normally be up the apples You are going up the "wooden hill" to Bedfordshire all meaning going up stairs to "kip"=sleep 'Cause after a long day on the Frog your plates are barking Why do we corrupt our language? its evolving all the time and also Used in extreme as a private coded way to talk to each members of a community the IN crowd ---------------------------------------- [Edit 3 times, last edit by densnaps at Aug 20, 2011 7:11:19 AM] |

'Morning - bright sunshine here, so let's hope it continues. I have a huge pile of paperwork I should be tackling, but I have a feeling it might be left over until tomorrow, or the day after, or perhaps even the day after that!

 - never saw paperwork walk anywhere  @den - and Edwardians in general: I beg you, I beg you on crying knees: Please, please, I shall never be able to go into those layers of Edwardian and curry-ruby mincepie aye English ... I assure you: It's ten times as hard for me to understand as Danish would be for you after all it was your original mother tongue in many ways so why did you bend a perfectly fine language???- and why did they have Navajo code talkers and Enigmas? |

Dog and bone ......... Answer on the back of a 'pony' please @ old sage: I'm glad you guys are able to create internal Edwardian confusion as well I'll think of something to answer on the back of that pony - it will take me a while - but I plan on it to be done before I'm done in ...  |

Hmphh!
 So much for the nice weather! It is now throwing it down - (pelting it down I would say!), so that has definitely decided it is staying in rather than going for a walk weather (as if .......!). I have so many chores to do, but I am taking a guess that none of them will actually be done this pm! C'est la vie.........! |
