Primmiggs, I remembered you making a joke in another thread about hearing Mario Lanza coming from downstairs. But how old is your Dad? Jeez, Mario Lanza is some pretty old stuff. Philly use to be a big music city ... lots of big names from here, but not so much any more.
"...GEEZER...THAT JUST MEANS GAFFER" I'm so glad you followed that one up with an explanation LOL!

@Gerry
My dad is only 51, but he likes the old opera thing, it kinda relaxes him when served with a nice JB 15 malte... Mario Lanza is his favorite tenor.
As for me i prefer a nice shout of Iron Maiden served with any old Fisky(whiskey) and a scratch and sniff.(spliff)

LMAO! You know, the old Peter Pan (old man) that everyone kinda likes and gets Rices(advices) from... A cool guy! You're a Bacardi breezer!(geezer) I'm just a young Lemon Squeezer!(geezer)
That's another Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (cockney slang) for you! LMAO!
Sometimes i forget these! I took my time remembering this stuff as i only use a few of them on my daily talk...

@permiggs: Does everyone england understand this stuff or is it like unique to where you live? (Which is where, by the way, what part of england?)
@Billy and rav009: I was looking at photos of your hometown on the internet. Man, what an awesome place! I wish we had that kind of history. Philadelphia is the oldest in the US yet our most historic architecture looks like a barn compared to that stuff!

Gerry this is London's very own language! Like i said even tough i understand most of them, if a proper cockney puts the whole slang out, i won't pick one up! I live a few junctions up the M1, can't precise just in case the anti-piracy plod are around...
Are you sure about Coventry being awesome? Anyway it's 4 in the morning... Talk tomorrow!

Oh, just wanted to know which city ... specifics wouldn't mean anything to me anyway. I rather though you were from London; I seem to remember cockney being a London only thing.
Yea, those pics I saw of Coventry were really cool ... if there is any nasty stuff though, I'm sure they're not about to put it in a tourists photo tour LOL!
Well Boss, looks like we'll be both hitting the hay at the same time albeit six hours apart! It's only 11:00 pm here (Or do you folks say 23h ?) Anyway, I'm beat. Have a good might Permiggs; I'd tell you not to stay up too late but ... too late for that! ... Gerry

@Billybob....I hope you're o.k. and didn't hurt yourself too bad! Serious or not, it sucks to be in pain. Let us know how you're making out! .. Gerry
@Primmiggs: Many years ago (before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's eye, I think) I started to, but never finished, reading this book called "A Clockwork Orange". Much of the text was written directly in cockney and they actually had quite a glossary of cockney slag in the back). I couldn't take looking up every damn other word. It also became a pretty popular movie (and still has a cult following I think) but I would guess they had to tone down the cockney so people could understand what was being said. If you've never read it, you might get a kick out of some of the speech and the cockney dictionary in the back. I understand the speech mannerism are authentic but you would certainly know better than me. It was also a pretty cool movie in a wierd sort of way; if I remember correctly, the movie was some sort of protest again what was then a new way to psychologically program street gang criminal offenders against crime ... but don't quote me on that, it was too long ago. I also remeber all these bloody a$$ kicking street fights choreographed to Beethovan's Ninth Symphony. It was pretty shocking at the time ... but that was some thirty years ago...may not be as graphic as I remember given what they do in modern movies.

Hi Billy! Did they x-ray your wrist? (You know, I use to be a combat medic yet I don't think Ive ever heard of an a$$ X-ray LOL!
I don't know why I'm developing such a facination with this cockney-speak. I'd learn to speak it but I'm sure my American accent would just ruin it! Besides, if no one understands you, imagine on this side of the atlantic!

@Billy
Wot's up with your wrist? Is it RMS (Repetitive Movement Syndrome)?
@Gerry
The cockney slang is used a lot by the very old people tough... Sometimes they say stuff that i never heard before... Everyone here uses a bit of it every now and then, but only the very common ones...

It seems that Billy and I have something in common ... neither of us can stay on our feet! I went downtown today and while there, it started to snow fast and furious. I should have taken a taxi but Im too cheap! I slipped, did this dance which was considerably less than graceful and landed on my a$$. Unlike our 16 year old friend, I'm just an old fart ... my a$$ doesn't recover as quickly!
Primmiggs: I need someone to drag me off to the "Knackers Yard" LOL! Oh well, thank God for a very well stocked medicine cabinet. In about a half an hour, I won't even know I have an a$$ LOL! Have a good one boys!
