... Not to feed your ego through comparison or anything like that, but I can totally see Jesus saying the same thing upon his return. :tongue:
Pah, like only another Londoncon, and the end of the world, and the discovery of a cure for peanuts. Which just proves once again that you suck.
Yo doorsh. I had to call up a furniture company (furniture@work, to be specific) the other day because my manager wants some coat stands but our business manager won't approve any more purchases this year. The company is based in scotland, and are a bit... aggressive... with their sales tactics. I had to almost sign up for a company account before they'd even give me a quote, and then I said I'd have to get back to them. Next day, i get a call from one of the other admin in our team who said "i'm really sorry about this, but I've got some guy called stephen on the line who asked for you, but I can't understand a word he's saying. I don't know where he's from." I thought 'lord, its been a whole week of shitty calls, what in the world is this one going to be about', so I wasn't sure what to expect. I took the call, and said "Hello, you're through to Clay, how can I help?" "Ah, hallo thar Clay, thees is Stephan aht furrniturre aht werk" I nearly had to put him on hold, lest I burst out laughing. Proof positive that Scots are just trying to fuck with the rest of the english speaking world. After concluding the call I told that other admin where the caller was from and she didn't believe me at first.
Well, since I moved house I was without net for a while. Then I just couldn't really be arsed. But, it's good to be back! I don't plan on taking that long a break again, you'll all be pleased to hear. Garner, the scottish have a perfectly legible way of speaking. It's just the rest of the world that are too lazy to listen properly. So there!
Ah achtually manahged ta heer him carrrectly, ah think. ah jes' hope we dinnae end up wi two dozen ah them coat stands, jimmeh.
i'm pretty sure that Shoogaly must be one of those 'family' words that no one else in scotland outside of doors' household uses.
I understood it *is proud* probably mostly because Doors was pointing at the very wobbly shelf as it were. But we won't speak about that.
is so a wurd. As wahn ay ma auld gaffers wiz prone tae sayin "Yer jaikits oan a shoogaly nail, big man. so ye bettir buck up yer idears" Translation: The word is indeed correct. As one of the many immediate supervisors with whom I have been employed had a tendency to reitereate "Your coat is currently lodged on a hook that may well fail in its primary purpose (that being the maintaining of said coat in the correct perpendicular orientation), large person. So I would advise you to give a greater degree of thought to improving your currently negative attitude. I'm in a kinda peculiar mood tonight... R.
I feel I should welcome you back by offering you a great big pint as the bar wench of the church of Doors. But I can't be arsed.
Welcome Back Stephen! *ahem* WILL THE REST OF YOU STOP BEING UNINTELLIGIBLE, JUST DOORS WAS BAD ENOUGH! Thank you for your time.
Yeah, it's all Greek to me as well! :wink: :edited to smack self with a giant trout before anyone else does!
I believe it's actually spelt "shoogly", actually. Although I may be wrong. it's clearly a word though! Grace, ella is watching Top Gear. I know!
