OL RAIGTH!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

1. DAMN ENGLISH SOUNDS COOL

*snap*snap*

[pink-o]

2. I spent 5 years in London...

..and the Brits murder their own language on an hourly basis! So much so, that non-English speakers used to ask me for help learning it. "We can't understand a word those Limeys say," an Iranian student once told me.

Anyone who's ever listened to Cockneys or basic West-end working class people understands exactly what he's talking about.

3. freezing cold and ants and I tools old

poke something.

4. I spent a couple of days in a B&B in Scotland once

At the breakfast table we were the Scot hosts, an Aussie couple and the two Yanks. We spent the entire meal translating one another... and we were all speaking English.

5. Woman I know from Derby in Glasgow

Woman comes up asks her a question not once, not twice but three times. Finally grabs her arm turns it round and points to the watch.:rofl:

6. When I was little and didn't understand English my cousin and I thought

the English language sounded so cool and pretty we would play and pretend we were "Gringos" and start talking gibberish that sounded like English to us. So we'd go on and on carrying these conversations without having any idea what the other one was saying.

Lots of fun...

7. I bet you could understand that if you drank an entire bottle of Jack.
