I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

LOL Nigel! It's all a vicious rumour - we have NOT got an accent - everybody else has. We just talk proper.

(Ask Aussie if he likes feesh & cheeps).

I'm having a day at home today because i'm a bit crook.

cheers


Commas matter - 'Party on Dudes' is not the same as 'Party on, Dudes'

Yes Kiwi, my favourite food is feesh and cheeps
The trouble is you guys don't have any decent fush.

Thanks, guys. I don't feel so bad now when some southerner here makes fun of my Boston accent.

Fush does not sound as appetising as feesh, although I like the sound of chups better than cheeps. So, is there somewhere I could go to get 'Feesh n Chups' ?

Either way, both your homelands are on my 'Bucket List', so I had better get a little more used to the accents before I set sail.

Hang on, Kiwi,does this mean that I have been reading your wonderful stories in the wrong accent ??? Perhaps you could send me a link to a website that will decipher the whole thing correctly ? ;-D


There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. Washington Irving
