Smart a*se. Cockney rhyming slang is English though so your bit of cleverness falls down.

In addition, Mickey would you write such a post against and ethnic minority? Or are English regional fair game for you because that is so right-on on this site?

TTT, my personal opinion is that the 'war' is lost on canibis, time to legalize it, tax it and control it that way. It really is pointles stopping and searching unless you suspect a dealer; your Courts and Jails would soon be rammed. A depressing thing to have to admit but sometimes one just has to be pragmatic and it really is no use flogging a dead horse.
Concentrate resources on Class A's first.

So is that YMB so yours falls down a bit more. DUH.

[youngmafbog]

Doenst look like English to me.

[kvalidir]

It's old English YMB, perhaps not perfectly grammatically correct, I'm not fluent as you might imagine, but English none the less and definitely spoken on this little Island of ours. My point was why does TTT insist on speaking in a way that some people find awkward to follow and other people will physically have to Google? It's awkward and obtuse of him, and as absurd as me posting in old English (which I might do on all of his threads now :-)

None of the free translators I tried can interpret it. Maybe it's older than they can tell. And auto detect thought it Danish, but had little success translating it anyway. (I thought it looked Welsh, but that didn't help either.)

[Old_Geezer]

It did occur to me that you were on the bob.

I tried it in an Old English translator but gave up as every second word came back 'unknown'.

You 'avin' a bubble?

Old English, meant to be telling us that we are supposed to be men not sheep to follow TTT. Then without a trace of irony telling him to speak English. No protests I see from the usual sources( I have waited). A language now only practiced by the occultist or Wicca followers. Note the avatar of Hare and full moon??

In the black furror of a field
I saw an old witch-hare this night;
And she cocked a lissome ear,
And she eyed the moon so bright,
And she nibbled of the green;
And I whispered "Whsst! witch-hare,"
Away like a ghostie o’er the field
She fled, and left the moonlight there.

Not a secret I'm loosely Pagan, but actually we don't use Old English at all for that, I'm learning it for a film we're doing in 2019, and because it's wonderfully interesting to hear work that was written over 1000 years ago in the way it was intended and not translated. There's no shame in being Pagan though, so not quite sure what your point is Togo, perhaps you'd like to enlighten us, or are you just a bit scared and confused 'cos you once watched 'The Devil rides Out' lol.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh; I just figured that was kval mooning.

[kvalidir]

Well I do that too OG ;-)

[vulcan42]

Isn't loosely pagan like slightly pregnant?

[douglas9401]

No, Loosely Pagan was an old radio detective from the 1940s.

[kvalidir]

I'm such a fan of yours Douglas and OG, you never cease to make me laugh :)

[vulcan42]

douglas, thank you, I didn't know they employed detectives to find radios in the 40's.

[kvalidir]

...and you Vulcan :-)

This continuing 'faux' outrage at people that mangle the English language on here might be more credible if it was directed equally at all the culprits.
