RE: X type - OFF TOPIC SECTION
Nothing to regret. It's an accent thing mostly. We all mix our phrases around. For example:
boot = trunk
bonnet = hood
hood = roof
lorry = truck
The local news played some interviews after the Scotland airport bombing and actually had subtitles for translations! It was crazy.
Elvis Costello had a line from the song "King of America," "I don't speak any English, just American about tears." Elvis rocks! That's really where it came from.

Re the bombers at Glasgow Airport I gotta tell you this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sm...aggage_handler)
John Smeaton the "have a go" baggage handler who was outside on a *** (ciggie) break said in an interview
aimed at the terrorists - "This is Glasgow - we'll just set aboot ye!"
of people, one in particular who ran away John says "Aye, Mibee. There was one wee fanny who ran the other way. I won't forget that!"
He felled Osama's mad man with a deadly flying kick...lol
There's a pub in Glasgow where there have been over a 1000 pints put behind the bar for him.....dunno if he's much of a drinker, it'll take him a while to get thru that lot
Only in Glasgow.....ROFLMFAO

RE: X type - OFF TOPIC SECTION
O yea I was just watching Major League for like the 50th time, and I just caught this part and it made me laugh hysterically.
IN the beggining when all the players show up to spring training, willie mays hayes comes, and of course he isn't actually a ball player, wasn't even invited. BUt he drives up in a Rolls ROyce, and I just realized it is a VW beatle, with rolls royceish colors and a stolen hood ornament.

Get a grip Aquill......this is the off topic thread.........OFF TOPIC!
The reason that the other threads were closed / locked was that the topic had been answered and done to death.
This was done in an attempt to stop threads running on and on, and also in an attempt to encourage new posts / new topics.
