So, a passenger taps his taxi driver on the shoulder. The driver shits himself, swerves, nearly hits a bus, and stops inches from a shop window. "F**k me, you're jumpy aren't you?" says the passen

Just a cool link between the three above posts revealed by a quick wiki search.   Arthur Sullivan, composer partner of the team Gilbert and Sullivan who wrote Mikado, was catapulted to fame

Ah yes, I remember them well. The excruciating pain as the tiny lego bricks dig in to your unprotected bare feet in the dark.

The Draft                

 

(very funny vid above Steph, I have been fortunate enough in life to have Man drawers and cabinets throughout the home. They are nothing compared to the Women drawers and cabinets, anyone need twenty-five year old instructions, ripped from and old craft magazine, on how to make a crochet snowman hat or enough mismatched buttons to create a button car cover   :D )

I used to find getting into womens drawers quite easy! Buy them the right drink, say the right words, ..... :thum:

For our American and European cousins, and also those unfortunates never to have graced the worlds greatest city........      

a translation:-

 

I'm off down the road (frog and toad = road) to get some boots (daisys = daisy roots = boots) and coats (weasels = weasels and stoats = coats) for the children (dustbins = dustbin lids = kids), I may call in to the Pub (rub a dub = Rub a dub dub* = pub) for a drop of bitter (apple fritter = bitter) and catch up with a few mates (China plate = mate). Its a bit cold (Taters in the mould = cold) out there, so I need to warm my feet (Plates = plates of meat = feet) and have a piss (gypsies = gypsies kiss = piss) at the same time. Ive got to give one of the lads a cheque (Gooses = gooses neck = cheque) for the suit (Whistle = whistle and flute = suit) he sold me last week. Besides which the barmaid's got lovely eyes! (minces = mince pies = eyes)

 

* Rub a dub dub as in the nursery rhyme 'Rub a dub dub three men in a tub'.

 

Although originating in the East End of London, a fair amount of this slang has found it way into regional English. For example, I didn't know anyone who, by the age of fourteen, didn't know what a Gypsies was, and I was bought up in genteel Surrey.

LOL! You got it John, My old man's a proper cockney and still uses slang to this day, I do at times if only to confuse people. Occasionally I'll turn it around and use proper Yorkshire Tyke which is even more confusing!( I lived in Leeds for 7 years and learnt quite a bit of it!)
