Hedgecutter Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I lived down there as a kid and it was only when I moved to Scotland that I discovered "vicar" and "Paul Weller" finished with an "r" not an "ah" The missing 'r' can genuinely cause a bit of problem understanding a lot of English folk, being unable to pick out what words they're using if speaking relatively fast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Since the election is over I was really hoping those fucking M&M adverts on the radio would f**k the f**k off. It would appear not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreElgin Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I can live with thurty - it's the 'eh' sound in therty I don't get. I'm happy to let it slide if there's a genuine reason I'm missing but it sounds a bit like it's from the same school of mispronunciation as 'definATEly'. I have always said therty, but now I'm not sure if it's a north east thing or not.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I was playing softball yesterday, you'd think as a 4 hc golfer and a former shinty player I could hit a ball half the size of my head with a bat? Nope. Nowhere near. I am shite at sport 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 It's like real cricket meets mud wrestling. Who do you play for? First game of the season for me tomorrow too, haven't done any practice since last season ended so it's probably not going to end well Uddingston 2s. I hadn't practiced either so am currently nursing 3 or 4 enormous bruises because in order to stop the ball I had to pretty much get anything in the way. A black and blue back of the leg is a new one right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
