A 2010 crop

[Rob Z]

Our garden has been producing nicely this year. All of a sudden, however, the green beans taste like lima beans . I love limas, but it's kind of strange to bite into a green bean and taste a lima.

I confuse everyone by calling a flat a drum {drum and tophat- flat}:lol:

Oh, and the neighbor's tomato garden has gone crazy. He's been sending over more tomatoes that we can eat. YUUMMMMMM.

Rhyming slang Rob, (cockney) a bit like Dick Van-dyke tried to replicate, in Mary Poppins, nice man terrible cockney accent:yikes:

As per usual, by the time I type my reply (very slowly) three others have beat me to it never mind

Phil, Mike a buddy of mine here played a lot of rugby in England, and then played on teams here with a bunch of Brits that lived in the US. He has an ear for this stuff and can imitate this rhyming cockney slang thing and just make stuff up as he goes. I can't follow what he is saying 90% of the time. I met one of his former team mates in the coffee shop one time and had no idea what either of them were saying. They sound kinda like Ozzy. :lol:

Show offs.

Rob every time I worked in the States, everyone thought I was Australian:lol::lol::lol:

 

[mikethetile]

I have heard that most of the criminals deported to oz were cockneys which is why the accent is similar
