And to all a good night

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by The Older Gentleman, Dec 24, 2008.

  1. That's the way I've always pronounced it. Ran as in run, not Range
    Rubber.

    Similarly, I was musing on the pronunciation of 'solder', as in 'soal',
    not 'salt'. I've heard a few call it 'salder', but I'm bloody sure
    that's wrong, at least to my ears and lifetime aural experience of it,
    as in;
    "Pass the solder, Jimmy."
    "Where's that lump o' solder, ye wee ****."
    "How fckng much for that reel o' solder, ya thieving bastard."

    Oh aye, soalder, for sure.

    Could be that 'saulder' is posh solder, only used by well-heeled
    hobbyists in electronics crafts, much like 'Goalf' is played by
    pretentious twats, whereas everybody else just plays golf (or even
    gowf).

    Scotch? that was a special right wing love potion distilled by my lover, Ann
    Coulter. Come New Years day you will wake up every morning for a month
    dreaming of Maggie and whacking off.

  20. We went up the local pub Xmas eve for our anniversary dinner and stayed
    to see Xmas in.

    Five minutes before midnight I disappeared out of the door and
    reappeared at midnight, I staggered through the door muttering:

    "One million, six hundred thousand, four hundred and thirty six mince
    pies, washed down with two million, one hundred thousand, five hundred
    and twenty four glasses of sherry is more than anyone can take."

    I dumped my sack on the side and sat back at the bar.

    The place went from stunned silence to cheers and clapping.

    Anything for a laugh.

    I had Xmas request that went from:
    A bed full of nubile women to a Ferrari.

    Happy Christmas every one.
