Tiredness...

I've even been to York and walked along the city walls. Although to be honest, it was pretty hard to work out what anybody was saying.

It was worse in Newcastle, where they only seem to use 6 letters of the alphabet:

"Eeeeeyi eee iiie, mon?"

"EEEIII yyeeeiii mon!"

"Yi mon?"

"EEE %$#$^%$ iiiiiiiyeyeyi mon!!"

 

True. Instead, you remove letters from already correctly-spelt words. Lazy bunch that you are. And that isn't even mentioning randomly swapping 'z's in place of 's's or getting confused as to what a billion actually is.

 

But everyone's posh in York! Well, mostly. It's a nice up-market area. Try going into the local pubs of Baaaaarnsley and Bratfut, and see how you get on there!

 

I'm actually in agreement with Barmy here when he says:

Unless you literally wreck the place, what tavern owner is going to have a problem with 30 young men coming into the place looking to slack their thirst? Aren't young men the tavern's best customers?

Taverns banning bachelor(ette) parties would be like a computer convention banning geeks. I've NEVER seen a pub/tavern/bar with the sign banning bachelor(ette) parties. What's next, banning them at strip joints?

 

Unless the pub has some even better paying customers (like rich old people) who would leave if a rowdy mob turned up.

 

Look at how far English from England is from English in the U.S. And this is after approx 300 years of separation. Of course, constant communication between the two countries has kept a lot the same, but imagine if the tech wasn't there to keep the two cultures in constant communication? They'd be pretty well two separate languages by this time!

I've heard "stag film" as a reference to pornographic movies, and the term "stag" for a bachelor party. I've often heard the term "do" used for a party of any sort, as in "I'm sorry I can't come to your do this weekend but I have to have my car waxed"

Are you feeling any better by now, BA?

 

Much. Barmy owes you a debt of gratitude.

 

I'm a tad late to the convo, but I'm all for the English accented shenanigans - crank it up to 11 Barmy!

 

Our English over here are actually American-English, we spell "colors" without the "u", use "s" insted of "z" and say "elevators" instead of "lift". A "stag party" is pretty well known to be a "bachelor's party" here and that's American teaching. But I have to say that I had no problem understanding BA's initial post. I think it's just figure of speech or maybe some kind of slang. But I think I might have a bit of a problem if it were spoken with the accents.

 

People...English isn't even my native tongue and I had no problem with it whatsoever.

 

You don't use those obnoxious 'u's, but you use 's' instead of 'z's... that's a confuzzled place.

 

^ Hehehe... I'm sure you know what I mean.
