Chess being expensive

Sort:
gaereagdag

Pssst...want some cheap chess? Come downtown to 25 fourth street in a dark alley at 8 pm. There is a man in a trenchcoat. Whisper to him "Michael Jackson still lives" and you will be shown a secret trapdoor.

Funnily enough, I am actually drinking Irn Bru....I suppose some stereotypes hold true.

Never heroin during the work day though. One of those little rules to live by.

Yeah theres no coming back from heroin.

Even when addicts get clean they have to live their lives thinking "cant use heroin, cant use heroin, cant use heroin, cant use heroin..."

Best to stay away from that crap.

I shudder to think of how the english and scottish think of Americans given that they are neighbors and we are across an Ocean lol. Most Americans probably could not tell a british accent from scottish or irish. I think I can cause I watched a lot of tv from the UK. Like whats his name on The thick of it.

A Scottish accent is a British accent.

I know an American guy, he's a a Marine Biologist, so not exactly a stupid person. Well, he once asked me, with no hint of a joke, who the Prime Minister of Scotland is.

When I told him it was Tony Blair, he said,'Isn't he the Prime Minister of England'

That pretty much sums it up.

Sorry, I mean English........ I think I have it right now. lol I think I might say something like that one day just to see who stops smiling.  Either way The scottish people I heard had a different accent.

I actually knew Scotland and England were the same country. I guess when we think British we usually think England. But I wouldnt ask you a question like that. I might ask you if there is a seperate government for local affairs. But if I had to guess I would think not. I remember reading there is no federal and muncipal seperation of government. I might ask you if you know Sean Connery too. lol

Surely you two agree on something. Guessing........... dislike of Irish people. I kid.

Yeah, we all have different accents. There are a lot of different Scottish accents, and English depending on where you come from in the same country. I suppose that's the same as anywhere else.

If you want a bit of a laugh you should look up the Brummie accent on youtube. You could be explaining the theory of relativity in that accent and still sound a bit stupid.

och!! yer awl a wee bit awd!

Och aye the noo. Foos yer doos min.

Scotland and England aren't the same country.

Scotland, England and Wales make up Britain, which along with Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom.

The UK is a recognised country by the UN, England, Scotland and Wales aren't.

Gilded_Candlelight

that is golden. I am going to keep that in mind. I want to meet someone with a Brummie accent. We have the largest geographical area with the same accent. It is from about colorado to the coastal states and everyone talks like the people do on US tv. I read about it once. People come here to study how to speak "without" an accent. Colorado, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, I think maybe even four more states but I am not sure about them.
