delta7 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 For my sins I support Falkirk Fc, my local team. My Dad took me as a kid and I still go regularly to see them with him, my sons are still young but the eldest has been a few times with me, he isnt into the fitba that much but the youngest is and I think he will come along when he is a bit older. http://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/home/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyKnight Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Been there too! My first day of basic training in RAF and this Glaswegian walks up to me and goes something like, "Herray-a-fackin-herray?" I just blinked a bit a lot and said, "Sorry, I didn't understand a word you just said mate." He got annoyed and repeated the sentence a little louder. It also didn't help that he had a hair-lip too that affected his speech. But after those 6 weeks, I was finally fluid in Glaswegian. I can impress you with stuff like, "I'm gannan forra pish."

DAZZA Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 'Giza ya fucken jaiket' is also a classic as well as 'alreet bawjaws?' i also enjoy the east coast use of the word ken to denote 'know' aye, i ken do you ken that guy etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted March 2, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Been there too! My first day of basic training in RAF Uhuh.. So you too took your country's shilling, ~S~ even if you and Painless are both 'Penguins' and refer to my type as 'Pongos'...we know the brown stuff is the best really . 4 yrs Army, applied for transfer to RAF (father was an RAF Occifer :hic: photo eng ) and magically got posted to a really cush job, which made me all the more determined to get the hell out of the Army so a PVR was duly placed. 2 months later our leader Maggie set her eye on the Falklands...that was close!

Rattler Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Ground pounder, pongo, axle grease, you're all the same, Rog. Why walk when you can ride? And a Spartan doesn't count - not roomy. Neither does a 432. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted March 4, 2007 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 ~S~ Rog , the only impact the Falklands war had on us at RAF High Wycombe was a choice of only 2 puddings instead of 4 and a bit of overtime in the workshop !!
