LOL @ this thread. You know it's gonna end up in the coffee house. Hahaha!
Steve: you forgot "cheque" and "boot" and "roundabout" and "take the piss or "I'm pissed" and "favour" and "hott lil bird" all those other words we yanks get confused about. Hahahahahaha!
It is both kinda sad and a bit amazing how much WE messed up the language. LOL!
I'm usually up, Roy. I had a show last night though, so I didn't get in until 4 am, was "knackered" and pretty "pisssed" drunk. (I'm 5 hours behind you on the East Coast in New Jersey) My birthday is this coming Wednesday, so we sort of celebrated early on stage last night. We sure thought we sounded good....but I'd be willing to bet the fan cell phone vids will make us cringe today. :) I'll be looking for you in the wee hours from here on out. :)

LMFAO
You got most of them spot on though Danny - we'll have to make you an honorary Brit... like Bob Geldof
Now don't get me started on "your" and "you're", and "its" and "it's"
Hahaha honorary works for me! One of these days though, I gotta end up where you or Jon are. Everytime I go to England, I want to buy a "flat" somewhere....and seem to gravitate towards....*gulp* Wigan. LOL! (or Sheffield or Newcastle or Birmingham which was an absolute pisser when I said it the way it's spelled. LMAO! They had a field day with me and my horrible yank slang words.) For some odd reason, as rough as that "neighbourhood" may be, I seem to get on well with the people there.
As long as I don't come in contact with any scousers....man, I had the hardest time understanding them, Steve. I had a gal talking to me for like 5 minutes one time at a show I did at Maximes in Wigan. After 5 minutes, she must have noticed my head was tilted like a dog's when he's confused and she says "you've not understood one bit have you" which THAT I actually understood! I shook my head "no" and apologized profusely.
Heck, I even got along with the chavs there. I showed 'em what REAL box cutters look like and the next thing you know, they were handing me a track outfit. LOL! :) What's really funny, is how I talk and how they didn't understand me at times. Like, for some dumb reason, the people here in NJ say "wooder" instead of "water". So when I ordered a scotch on the rocks wiff wooder, I got the tilted head/dog confused look back at me. Hahahahaha!
