I'm referring to the comment MF made here.

I was kind of saying the effigy was not the bat, but the 2 spoons.

No 7 is surely Fisticuffs.

I thought No 7 was cheap & nasty tarty stuff you could pick up for a few quid......

Hang on... MF.... Cheap and Tarty.... only worth a few quid......

Duh, missed that the first time around. I can see it now.

They speak kind of different down there in Ayrshire, when they say minutes, as in time, they say it like peanuts with an m, meanuts.

They say it the say way up in ayebeardeen as weel, like. So do a few other places - fck me, people in a region in britain pronounce words differently to another region. Shock horror, what's the country coming to.

<edit> and btw, it's meanits, no meanuts. Meanuts would be referring to yer baws.

'weel' is mispronunciation, they have taken 'well' and applied the sound of 'we' to the front, a confusion of the legitimate sounds.

'Meanits' is a missounding, you have taken 2 vowels in a word and given them the sounds of 2 different vowels. Would you understand me if I said 'manites' or 'monates'?

English is a flexible language but you just cannot go around taking words and completely changing the vowels and expect people to understand what you are talking about.

Now, Is there any other grammatical mechanisms you just change in Ayrshire when you feel like it? is using the full stop the norm for you or are you just using it now because you are in our company?

Now steady on minestrone. You grew up on an island with, doubtless, some teuchter idiosyncrasies. Let he without sin etc.
Ya bamstick!!!

I lived there but I was not schooled there

Arran was mostly filled with Glaswegians. And yes, milk was delivered in bags which you had to leave an upside down bucket at the bottom of the garden or else the birds got a good drink of full cream, the phone box was 1 mile away. The pulse of the Isle revolved around the ferry.

I went down last year and got the bus down to lamlash, Polish driver had no idea where I asked to go. Gaelic place names were lost on them.

I'm hoping to buy something down there in the next few years. Small holiday home. Freakin expensive now.

Yeah could be. Three ugly fugly female IT workers there.

Looks like MP, CM & Cojak to me.

Minestrone always loved bonfire night when he got home to the island!

We had a panoramic view of Arran from our house windows in Ayr. The old adage, "If you can see Arran it is going to rain, and if you can't see it then it IS raining" was particularly apt. Despite that, I only ever got over there once. On a day trip on the Waverley. Nice place I'd imagine, but bleeding quiet!
