@All; One bable dog may be required for correct translatioin from the aincent Iddish dialect above.

@Esq; For the record, it was Taw wanted ciggies, which I might add he never received. Poor sod waited so long for the Sweet Virginia he'd given up by the time I offered to send it. I never asked him to get me brew. A mick askin' a Brit to fetch a Jemmy? That would be an even dafter idea than Emperor Nick could muster.

where's my cigs? all you have to do is

a/ setup a Paypal account
b/ accept funds from moi
c/ go to shop/
d/ purchase Sweet Aftons
e/ send in post to me

here's my address

His Pious Serenity Grand Mullah Tawakalna
Great Central Palace erm Mosque of State
No 1 Towel-ut Q'ubt Street
Wolstantahnabad
Tawakalnistan

sending it air-mail's no good cos the fastest mode of transportation we have is donkey, bit like your bog in Co. Potcheen.

@all:
Finally a thread with almost extinct dialects from remote regions all over the world. Globalization, oh well

@Taw; You know I used up the last batch on the Rabbit experiment.

Anyhoo Mrs T told us you'd given up except for that moment after those special occassions, which pretty much means you've given up full stop.

@zazie; Thanks for the offer, generous to a fault, but I've just eaten. Anyways, the local Shaman said I was to stick to a low salt diet. Your clan will be eternally welcome in Swissdruland.

so I've given up. so what? Sweet Aftons are too good to miss out on. they're so pure they can't possibly do me any harm!

What might be the most weird, is that I could actually comprehend that...

...they're so pure they can't possibly do me any harm!

I said that when I first met the sweet innocent future little Missus Id. Big mistake!Cost me a fortune.

Anyhoo, you'll be seein' nowt frum mise for at least a month now lad.

EDIT: @Loc; Course you can, it's all double dutch.

I know. You'll be *elsewhere* - you are aware that the unwritten rule is that you bring me back cigs from wherever you go? Lucky Strikes or Chesterfields are quite acceptable, but get me some Sweet Aftons and I'll call you Mr. Id.

Aaahar, I guess this barnacled ol' sea doggy's a bit late for this here thread then. Yar.

Don't know the Arabic lingo to be a proper Corsair anyway.

the proper term is korsan which isn't actually Arabic, but Turkish, deriving from the time of the Ottoman suzerainty of the N African coast.

There are many low-tar and low-nicotine varieties in Noo Dworkia from which to choose Druid.

Virginia Slims for the Mullah perhaps?

oo oo no those posh ones from that place opposite the Library, just down from Grand Central. just about the only place in Noo Dworkia that you can smoke indoors!
