Gather round me chinas and i''ll tell you a story

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Gather round me chinas and i''ll tell you a story

Jesus feeds five thousand geezers
(Matthew 14; 13 - 21, Luke 9; 10 - 17, John 6; 1 - 14)

JESUS' chinas met up with 'im. Jesus and his little group of apostles didn't even have time for a bite to eat. So 'e said to 'em, "Oi, fellas, let's pop off on our Jack for a while and have a little rest and a feather."
So they got into a nanny and headed off to a quiet place.
Loads of people saw them leaving, so people from all over different towns ran like the clappers by land and arrived at the same place Jesus was headed for.
When Jesus got out of the old nanny, 'e saw this bloomin' huge crowd.
Now time was getting on and a little alligator, his disciples came up to him and said, "It's getting a little late, boss, and this is a really lonely place.
"I think we should send all these Hank Marvin people to some of the farms and villages dahn the old frog so that they can buy some nosh to eat."
"Why don't you give 'em something to eat?" Jesus asked. "Now 'ang on, boss," they said. "Are we gonna have to spend two hundred silver coins on Uncle Fred in order to feed this lot?"
Jesus asked, "How much grub have you got? Go an' 'ave a butcher's." They told 'im, "We've got five loaves of Uncle Fred and two Lillian Gish."
Jesus then told his disciples to ask all the people to get into groups and sit dahn on the grass.
Jesus then took the Uncle Fred and the Lillian Gish. He broke the Uncle Fred into bits, gave it all to his disciples and told them to give some food to everyone. He also broke the Lillian Gish into bits and told his chinas to pass it on.
Now, would you Adam and Eve it, everyone 'ad enough to eat!

if you cant work it out using yer loaf go 'ere slang explaned for the geezers wot dont come from london

its also a book, bits of the bibile in cockney rhyming slang

Zjees, try reading this when you're tired and not British.

The funny thing is, that sounds just like a lot of people where I live. Except it's not quite that extreme anymore.
@Freighter fighter, any chance you know what "2 and 8" means? It's the only one I keep hearing that I don't understand. I know it means that somethings gone up **** creek but I can't figure out where it comes from

state... as in hes in a right old 2 and 8 or.. hes in a sorry state ( the condition, not the part of america, my spelling is a bit bad at the moment )

ok try doing the same story in a Northern style, then West Country, then Brummie, then Welsh.

d'you think Jesus would sound convincing if he said "alroight moi luvver?"



..you think you're done with the past; but the past isn't done with you..

dont see why not, the greek that the english bible was translated from was the same greek used by market place people shouting the price of there goods.

incidentaly, there is also a street language bible.

its in 2000 languages altogether, its all about being relevant to people that speak those languages

Geez, to think that one French guy was burned at stake for just a slight misinterpretation in the translation of the Bible (sth like that there was nothing AT ALL (rien du tout) after death)! those inquisition guys should've read this version BTW, Arcon, I always thought that it was cockney rather than mockney. Ah, well, I might be wrong.

Post Thu Aug 21, 2003 9:57 pm

mockney is someone pretending to be cockney, and theyre crap at it.

Incidentally there is a very rare version of the first english bible to be printed that says ' thou shalt commit adultery'

While we're at it, what does "root" mean in colloquial Australian-English? I heard it has a strange connotation.

Post Fri Aug 22, 2003 9:25 am

If I could be bothered I'd give you a northern version...

"Ey up lad, put th'wood int 'ole, sit thee down and lets get crackin"

...put I can't be bothered
