@ Lethal; Quote; "[edit] by the way, pulsar.. 1am? I thought you had a "life"!" That is just a vicious rumour I pass around, it is a vain attempt at convincing myself that I do have a life! LOL! Northern monkey, is that not derived from the monkey hangers of Hartlepool? I typed "Northern Monkey" into google & ended up on this site, I found this little tale. It is forking hilarious!! http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7207 That thread is part of "Barrys' gold", it is worth a glance at some of the other threads too, I thought we could be harsh on newbies, but this lot take the biscuit! Just my cup of tea! LOL!!
Me a londoner?!? LOOOL - Far from it! But my mrs is a proper East End cockney girl through and through. She can have a full conversation in slang that i never heard of before! And trust me, i do know quite a few of them! Her whole family still live (...and will die) in London, and use slang on a daily basis... What i wrote above was some of the ones that got me thinking when i first heard them... That was the very sentence my mrs wrote on a paper when she tried to 'teach' me the hard slang... Still didn't get it tough... lol
pulsar - have you never seen Lock, Stock.. scene in the stripclub? what a great movie. Permiggs - knew you weren't a Londoner mate. You can tell when someone is "putting on" the cockney, as they exaggerate it and use rhyming where it is hardly ever used
Many years ago, I'd started to read "A Clockwork Orange" ... the novel came complete with a cockney dictionary. I gave up trying to read it as I had to look up every other word; I found it impossible to read (although in those days my own English left something to be desired). Eventually, I rented the movie (Malcolm McDowell if memory serves). I have no idea if the cockney in the book or movie was genuine but it was facinating. I also run into it from time to time on BBC programming aired in the US. I don't know what it is but I could listen to it for hours. I also worked with an English cop here in Philly who was part of some exchange program; I don't know if it was cockney but it sure wasn't the queen's english! Pity the site doesn't have a sampeling of people's voices; it would be neat to try and place peoples' posts with the sound of the voice.
Well, it depends... Sometimes when i visit down there, they slang every other word which makes me feel a bit out of place...(in other words, it pi$$es me right off...) I know a lot of them, but there's soo many different variations to the same rhyme that you do end up loosing yourself sometimes... But to be honest, i find it easier to understand cockney slang than geordie... That's probably what that guy was Gerry... Now, that is another language! Hey Gerry, where's your mug?
@ Lethal, not seen Lock, Stock for a while, but I do vaguely recall the scene you mentioned. I think that he was referring to the 2 scousers who nicked the guns. I remember Dick Van Dyke doing a "cockney" accent in Mary Poppins, that was a laugh!
I'll try to find a pic of my astonishingly handsome self when I get home...you've all been deprived of my splendor long enough lol!
Lethal_B is inside this car,crap he has tinted windows,better luck next time to see his mug...i can see a wee bit of a arm on the back of the gal..i wonder with part of the gal hes grabing?
I'd probably be going for the arse. Here's ireland robbing his local newsagents. You can't see his face because he's a "hoodie"!
Lethal_B that can not be me,as i would be looking at the big boobs magazines... with sun glasses and a black hood on.. magazine cover
Ah, mate -- Keeley is just gorgeous. The full pic of her (from which I cut the face out of for my sig) is better though. Just ask billy-bob! =)
rav, you should have bumped with a mugshot of yourself finally! you or Ben...you cant keep leaving aD in suspense
