P.S. I hope this is what you were talking about. I'm like Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls. It just happens to be one of my special superpowers. I also get an automatic +2 when bumming smokes.

Cheeta Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 quote:Originally posted by algorithim thats like here, in Dublin we have people called Skangers who speak incomprehensible English, I can pass myself off as one of them! Ha! Wee Elf works in a hospital and called me in one day to drop off a bite of supper and smokes. Walks in to find the whole staff on the ward gathered about these two elderly ladies trying to figure out what they're saying. Thick, thick Aberdeen accents. Right off the boat. Timing's everything and it helps to have a bit of a trained ear. All they wanted was to know where the cantina was and if it would be alright if they could wheel their friend down for a cup of tea and a smoke afterwards. I'll tell you what though. Realy had to turn the ear to figure all that out though. Nice ladies. If I have have the wits they had at their age I'll count myself lucky.

algorithim Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 They should invent a translator for Newfoundland English and Geordie/Scouse ****s who ruin the language! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canso Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Actually they did a study and found that the good people of Newfoundland speak a version of English that is closer to the language of Shakespeare than anywhere else in the world. I guess 12 generations of perfect isolation will do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
