Iain - my favourite tosspot;) Who the FUCK is Andrew Dice Clay - he sounds like a right prick
Originally posted by Iain Curtis Thanks, Patrick, for the good word. it is hard sometimes to see the subtleties in writing, especially when you don't know someone. Liv, just love me.
Iain, To be totally honest I was just suprised and somewhat taken aback by an American who is aware of sarcasm, hence my reply to your intial post.
I was clerly wrong to say anything and shall be beating myslef serverely in punishment later....
Liv :angel
Originally posted by Iain Curtis I don't know who this Michael guy is, but I think Americans rule and Brits are bland and boring, and your food is yucky!!! Now let me think of an excuse as to why I am posting at a British band website. . .Now if you limeys could resolve a controversy. . . I have a classmate who comes from new Zealand. She says that using the term "bloody" is very very bad, like saying "fuck" or "cunt". Is this true? Is it a Kiwi thing? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
Americans rule ? Where exactly ? Grenada ? Nicaragua ?Vietnam ? 53rd & 3rd ?
One thing I will agree on though....when you get "bloody" and "cunt" together it is very bad news :)
So then Mr "Curtis", did you change your surname because you didn't want to be associated with a similar sounding Riot Grrl type band, or because like your hero Mr Mayfield you wanted to be seen to transcend the thought processes of us mere bland limeys ?

USA v BRITAIN
No fuckin contest really, what have the brits got going for them? miserable weather - shite public transport - and knobends who sing Brittania rules the waves at the last night of the fucking proms
America on the other hand - lovely fuckin weather most of the time - but a bit partial to tornado's and earthquakes, pricks running around with guns, shooting people and trying to be hard - Loud, fat and annoying bastards everywhere, who tell you to "Have a nice day" FUCK OFF YOU WANKERS.
God save America from themselves. God save the Queen - yer having a fuckin laugh. Neither of these "Superpowers" are worth the time of day.
SO CHILL PEEPS - WE'VE BOTH GOT IT AS BAD AS EACH OTHER.
Fuck me - I'm clever - I am considering standing for President, but can't be arsed waiting 3 months to find out if I win 
:evil:
Shug - Liv just sent me a text to remind me to remind you to download ICQ or one of those instant message things. So I have.

How the feck do you do that? Just checked my e-mail - but haven't received anything mate;)
As a lime coloured limey I think I have the definitive answer on the subject of bloody,I recall this rhyme from when I was about 7.
bloody in the bible, bloody in the bucket, if you don't bloody believe me........ fuckit can't remember the last bit.
Anyway, I say bloody infront of my mum and she doesn't hit me anymore for doing so.

Right I am now a member of yahoo.com shug_sludden, but I still haven't gotta clue how they fuckin things work.

Go on Patsy, go for it. Frodo's probably locked in the bell tower with Quasimodo. Or at least he should be!
Well, Muffy, I'm afraid it's too late now, so I'll just let it go. I'm still much enjoying the marvelous musical package, by the way. I particularly like the original Confusion.

I was just trying to do my part to prevent Transatlantic misunderstandings, Iain. It's not that unusual here for things to be written in jest and read as being serious.
Originally posted by Old Blue Someone called me a "cunting cunt" at 5-a-side last week, which I thought was a bit harsh.
One of my mates, a Swansea bloke used to have a particular name fr people playing rugby lke a bit of a cock.... He used to shout in his very srong Swansea accent... "You fucking phallus" Usd me make me piss myself everytime i heard him! lol

It is a funny that this thread was started because I was thinking of starting one about British "lingo". I know us Americans have our slang but I have to say that I can't understand some of these threads because of all of the British talk. Actually I am very intrigued by it and I want to know what is what. So if anyone wants to start a "Mini British Dictionary" on this thread please explain your wonderful words.
Thanks :)
Quoting Ethel Mertz "I am sorry, we are Americans, we don't speak English!"
Originally posted by Michael McDermott Hey y'all,Since I've been posting here, I've noticed with great delight the creative ways in which you use the Queen's English.Maybe we Americans are just a bland, boring lot for the most part or maybe the New Order fans who post here are just bright, imaginative souls. I suspect that like all things, the answer falls somewhere in the center.See, I would never have thought to work the phrase "cretinous tosspot" into conversation. Also, there's not much opportunity for me to use "wanker", "tosser", "twat" and especially "c__t"
(y'all, c__t really is almost a forbidden word. I mean, not even the most vile gansta rapper uses that word)Anyway, keep up the good work. And, if y'all have not seen the "I hate Jamie Oliver" site...GO NOW! I nearly "pissed" myself......(see, I'm already learning :) )
And I thought the reason why I didn't understand half of the messages coming from the Brits was because my mastering of the english language was sub-par. 
Now these days when I speak english orally, I often use expressions I read on this site and the people I speak to often don't understand the expression I use, or sometimes will ask me "did you live in England at some point?".
"Yeah, mate. I do each time I log on".

Aye yer right there pal as fer Timbo - totally understand what ye mean aboot the same lingo in Scotland etc... (well except for Aberdonians of course - they speak in some form of highland crap - that no-one understands except for Sheep;) )
Even I laughed that joke!!!
Originally posted by Patrick I'm tempted to edit my message but Frode might catch me.
That thread is definitly filled with VERY, VERY GOOD jokes!!!
Originally posted by Shug
I can't give you my vote, Shug. You don't come through on your promises on time!! (FINALS!!!). But good luck with that. And if we have such good weather why is it about 20 degrees F and 30 mph winds right now? It's enough to make a person quit smoking! But have a nice day or I'll put a cap in your ass, fuck-o!!!:)
And Liv, there's no need to punish yourself. If you want to serve some sort of penance just throw some dirty little double entendres my way ;)
I need to read the threads before I post but I guess this makes me one closer to one thousand. Anyway, the story of my name. My last name is so long that I was looking for something simple. Nobody I know listens to NO and JD so I figured I would just bastardize Ian's. Plus, I love it when people think they're being clever when they think my middle name is Curtis 
Only it's not so clever here.:( Plus Shug and Pile o'shit were already taken.
So it has nothing to do with Curtis Mayfield and I have no idea about the Riot Grrl reference.
The End

Fookin ell - Seb....was that a first;)
Mr Curtis - I did say "lovely fuckin weather MOST OF THE TIME BUT...a bit partial to Tornado's and Earthquakes;)
With my banter I'd piss it over there if I was to stand for president - What's all this about a defence shield for nuclear weapons - has that twat been watching to many Batman episodes? Surely the money should be put into Healthcare, and trying to educate kids about drugs and guns - and not listening to NU-METAL

Come again? Are you trying to confuse me? :p
Give me any words from anywhere, do you really speak that different?
Oh come now April...of course they speak differently...do you talk like those guys from Bahston....or since I'm here in Texas, you should hear those folks from Loozana talk... Did you know I've been pronouncing New Orleans wrong for most of my life...I just found out the other day that it is actually Nawlins...I don't know what the hell happened to that r...but you don't pronounce it...
oh well...I'm easily confused and amused!!!!

Well that was a simple sentence transcribed into Mackem dialect, possibly better known as the area immediately south of the River Tyne and north of the river Wear. Not to be confused with the more commonly known (and equally commonly misused) "Geordie". FTM.
Jeff. I lived in "Nawlins" for 4 years and never heard it pronounced like that unless i happened to be near tourists. unfortunately, that was quite often but...Nawlins was conceived of to sell hats and t-shirts. the correct, or local pronuciation is New (just like it looks) Orluns (i wish i had a schwa on my keyboard--either a short e or u sound) definitely not new orleens. the local dialect is called "Yat" and it may be the ugliest/most annoying accent in the world. I had a good time living there but there is no future for that city. best time to visit is Halloween. all the madness of mardi gras without the tourists. i still don't believe i saw what i saw halloween 95.
