Mike,

I think that they are still looking for that translator on the lost pieces of the Rosetta Stone.

Great site, jets! I must say, it really through me for a curve when I actually dated a Brit, and she said that she'd "Knock me up around 7:30 or so." Silly me...

He (Handy Andy) falls back into cokney occasionaly and I even think his own countrymen have a problem understanding him.

Good stuff, jets.

I must say, however, after years of being exposed to alotta British "stuff" (researching the RAF, watching BBC America, LOTSA Hitler History Channel, PBS (British Comedies can sometimes be rather humourous - notice the spelling), and listening to MK & the Straits) I've become accustomed to how the originators of the language speak.

Although, sometimes, one or two throw me off. If I run into a guy who talks like Handy Andy from 'Changing Rooms', I'm done.


Fade to Black...

LMAO! I like that. I used to have a "Dictionary for Yankees" that was given to me by a friend in Roanoke that was good too.
