Happy Hippie House Party. “Make New Real Friends.”

LOL.

Yeah, if you came here you'd have to learn to talk like a yank.
That would be funny. Right?

 

Oh didn't think of that. I'd have to wash babyps diapers rather than her nappies (Cloth nappies, before you think I'm crazy )

 

LOL. and no one know what nakered means.

And if you need to change a tire on your car you can no longer use a lever. Instead you have to use a jack.

And it's a wrench not a spanner. However there actually is a specific type of wrench that is technically called a spanner wrench, here. However that type of wrench is very uncommon. so no one knows what a spanner is.

 

Really? Knackered as in tired? Cream crackered!! (Cockney )

America is confusing!!!

And Tylenol instead of paracetamol apparently! No more TV adverts either!!

 

Yes, I gathered "tired" from your and from others conversations. However if you put the word to an average America I'm sure that they would look at you Cockneyed. (cock-eyed) I'm trying to be cute and clever. It's not working out very well.

"America is confusing!!!"
Ah, You'd get the hang of it in no tine.

 

Just a thought, speaking of passports, Does Fairlight live Closer to Portobello Road, then you do.

I want to mail someone over there. If we cut him loose there we could buy 4 hippie houses in no time.

 

Mail someone?! over? I'm not sure that is legal!

But yes I think he does, I'm only a 30 minute train journey away though.

 

It's not. So, I'd need to look up round trip airline prices. Much more costly. Thanks I'll have to talk to Fairlight. We may need to start our London chapter of our commune in his closet. I wonder if he'd mind much. At least it's a start.
LOL

 

Aeri.....Shameless is one Wild Woman 1st Class. Her handle in our old commune (the Church of the Cood Earth) was Nailscakes and well earned.

MamaPeace.....Don't let Kenny talk you into learning to 'talk like a yank'. Learn to talk like a fine Southern Belle. lol

 

Ranger, we're shipping you off to Portobello Road, in London. Fairlight is in the process of moving to a new place that has a bigger closet that you could hang out in. Put your antique dealer hat on.

 

Ranger whats the difference? I can only hear two different american accents, ones the texas kind of one and the other one is the happy chirpy loud one that is on TV lol. To my ears Americans and Canadians sound identical!

 

TV folk are trained to speak without an accent. Sortta the American version of 'the Queen's English'. As a Texan I'll have to say Ma'am, first off we don't have an accent Ma'am, we speak pure American.

Now if ya'll wwnt to hear accents and dialects try those yankees in New York City.

 

I love the Jodie foster accent - and the howdy mammmm.... it brings a smile ...

 

enjoy a dance .....

Excuse me!!!!!!!! Canadians do NOT sound indentical to Americans and usually take great offense at that! (Speaking as someone who grew up in Canada!) When I went to San Francisco in 68, people were always laughing at my accent. Fortunately, I can take a joke against myself!

Yes, I have also lived in communes, in California, and in Toronto and later on in London. Mama, there are loads of communities out here in the West Country and in Wales. You could do a bit of research about what's around in the UK and then your baby could still see her father.

 

Lol.You're welcome to my sofa-bed...But be warned...I have complicated living arrangements...

 

Ranger,

That was confusing, and I even understand what your trying to say. LOL.

She mentioned Texas accents. That's you and Shameless, Texas, and then there's a rest of the Northern Hemisphere. All Others. TV talk to her ears.

I don't think that she gets your little joke that is a take-off on the word "Yank" which is of course a term that the Brits used for anyone who was from the U.S. back during the War. 1941.

Anyone U.S., North or South.

And your spin on the American Civil War. The words Rebel and Yankee.
This totally got lost in translation. I believe.

I think that when you say, "MamaPeace.....Don't let Kenny talk you into learning to 'talk like a yank'. Learn to talk like a fine Southern Belle. lol"

It might be better understood if it were put as T.V. as opposed the Texas which could also be equated to "a fine Southern Belle".

If you see my meaning. To someone were a Brooklyn accent sounds pretty much the same as a California accent, things like this can be very confusing.

 

You should have seen the various living arrangements in the Haight Ashbury in the '60s/'70s!

 

I got it Ranger! But then I speak three languages, English, American and Canadian.

 

I could probably teach her that...I think it's somewhere in my memory bank.

Hubs says that when I'm angry the South comes out of my mouth, lol
