FH Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 If Rach's Pirate Patch and the twanging thereof is a 'euphemism' - then this offensive article must indeed have powers not of this world 😳 FH Do you chaps not think it would be prudent to re-name this the "Diversion from Original Topic Thread Yatter" - or D.O.T.T.Y. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FH Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Alas dear Noger, tea crates are virtually a thing of the past ☹️ I packed all my stuff when I went to live in Bermuda in lots of tea chests. Everything arrived unbroken Supermarkets aren't allowed to have piles of boxes any more (health and safety), so I'm having a tough ol' time finding sufficient containers at the mo. ☹️ And I'm only popping in here for little visits FH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted January 18, 2003 Author Share Posted January 18, 2003 piles of boxes are a health and safety problem 🤔 ❗ 🤔 ❗ WTF is wrong with the world 🤔 don't stuntmen you cardboard boxes as a nice safe thing to land on 🤔 Try asking at a market, all the fruit comes in boxes and they chuck it in the skip at the end of the day.

FH Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 My English teacher would be apoplectic if she read that bit 😳 "I packed all my stuff when I went to live in Bermuda in lots of tea chests." When I went to Bermuda, comma, I packed ................ Certain supermarkets no longer keep cardboard boxes for customer use. There are two issues. Firstly, they can't keep them by the exit, in case of fire. Secondly, many adhere to the EU ruling of re-cycling "X"% of boxes. A real bummer, as I like to pack bottles and jars in boxes rather than have them rattling and crashing together in a non-biodegradable plastic bag. Actually I did have an owl in the tea chest. My son James was given a carved stone ( help Alex, it was one of those quartzy thingies) at his baptism - "for widsom". The pussy cat, well....................... we'll leave that one Windy, don't drink SD It's full of things that'll make you brain go funny 😳 😬 FH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 (backtracks through thread - not been here for a bit) Boonie, Yes I truly am from the WM, but I've not heard of upskittle before?!? Is Mrs Boonie from the hallowed land also - you can test by getting her to say: 1. "Ow mutch t'Cray-dly mayt" (as if said to a taxi driver) and/or 2. "D'yow cum from Dud-lay" If either phrase makes you laugh, then she's surely said it in the right accent! 😬 Moom.

Violet Elizabeth Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Mrs Noger, who has spent a fair time in these parts reckons that Dudley and Cradley Heath are two utterly different accents She has tried one may occasions to get me understand that its "Cray-dle-ay Hayth". Have finally got the "sonic screwdriver" joke Windy 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Mrs Nog is right, there are subtle difference, but like most accents, to the untrained ear the local nuances are not noticeable... most people would say it is a 'brummie' accent.
