Those are great! Is that a tv show?
Yes, it's Little Britain, there's loads more characters the guys do. Daffyd the only Gay in the Village is my favourite. There's quite a bit of it on U Tube. An interesting insight rofl!

Interesting, scary, but, interesting. Thanks!It depends, Don.
Some sprinkle their speach with some of the more common terms (apples and pears (stairs), trouble and strife (wife), brahms and list (pissed/drunk) etc). Some of these are not even part of the 'original' thieves cant (which is what Cockney Rhyming Slang actually is) but with use get appropriated into popular 'culture'.
There are those who still keep the cant alive, which is, I suppose, a good thing - my past profession in history doesn't like to see things vanish from sight, even when they irritate me.
You have to bear in mind tho' that I'm a Midlander and Tez is a Northener and our views on all things Southern Shandy-Drinker are suspect :lol:.
Probably about as well as Californians can understand backwoods Georgians or Alabamians...Tell me Sukerkin and Tez, can Brits who aren't from Yorkshire understand old Yorkshiremen? I can't make head or tail of what some of the really venerable ones are saying.
Quick OT - we missed Dr. Who this week (decorating the kitchen) but hope to catch the repeat. Nice to hear Martha'll be in it ... innit
:lol: {runs}.
