Howdy from Needlehole

Pettytyrant

'I'm sorry- please forgive me'- Jolly Tin might but will Odo forgive you for bringing French to Needlehole?

Tinuviel

E una bella lingua, no?

Ringdrotten

"It's a beautiful language, no"? That one was very similar to French

Pettytyrant

By Illuvatar its like being abroad (not Needlehole abroad- its Oz thats just Brits on an extended holiday they'll come home eventually with a really long, boring slideshow of their stay- 'and here's the delightful natives before we introduced them to alcoholism and told them they could only live in the really hot bits.') With all this foreign lingo afoot I'd best resort to the tried and trusted British method of dealing with foreigners. BY SHOUTING AND...TALKING...VERY...SLOWLY..EXCUSE.. ME... FOREIGN.. PERSON.. COULD.. YOU.. DIRECT.. ME.., TO... THE... BUCKIE?... NO?..SOME FRIENDS WILL BE ALONG SHORTLY TO INSTALL A RAILWAY, POSTOFFICE, POLICE FORCE, ARMY, PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY AND SOMEWHERE THAT SERVES A GOOD DRY MARTINI.....COMPREHENDI? That should do it.

Gandalfs Beard

You mean like this Petty?: ?????......?...??..??..?...??..??..??..?..??..?..??...?...???...???..?????????????????????????????????????????????..... COMPREHENDI?

Ringdrotten

Google translate says: Speak loudly and slowly ...... very ... .. excuse me ... .. foreign .. personal .. you can .. .. .. .. I direct, to .... Pakistan ..? ... No? .. Some friends will soon be installed along the railway, post office, [b:3ul6uxbg]police force, army, parliamentary democracy, and can show a good dry martini somewhere ..... Sounds like GB all right

Gandalfs Beard

Actually, that's a perfect Chinese to English translation. Have you seen the menus and signs in English in a Chinese Restaurant?

Ringdrotten

No, but I've seen them in Norwegian so I've got an idea about what you mean

Odo Banks

Oh good - all those foreigners have gone. Maybe now I can get back to trimming the hedges in peace! Bloomin' foreiners!

Eldorion

Hey Odo, I think you dropped this. It's your respectability from a while back. 8-) (Here to help!

Pettytyrant

I think you'll find Ringdrotten picked it up.

Tinuviel

Eldorion

He did win the Most Respectable award, right?

Ringdrotten

Why, of course I did!

Odo Banks

First it was Females, then Foreigners, now it's Fruitloops! Hey you guys, if you must lollygag, lollygag on someone else's thread!

Jolly Cotton

For cheeseus's sake...another with the lollies already... :?

Pettytyrant

I quite like a lolly. :?

OdoBanks

I'll do my lolly if this stupidity continues!

Gandalfs Beard

You'll do what?... Please Odo...not here on the forum...blechhh !!! That's Unrespectable! Save it for the porn sites!

Odo Banks

Lose my temper, GB, that's what it means. Oh goodness me --- do you watch "****"? :oops:I've heard of it but never ever watched it... I haven't... trust me... you must... err, it doesn't sound respectable at all... anyway, Primmy and Bella insist I have no need to watch that kind of thing... they saw it once --- I think... :oops:accidentally --- I think ---

Tinuviel

What's that? Is that a boat? I think it is! Where's it going? Into the west? Who's on it? Odo's Respectability! Farewell! .... Porn gentlemen??? really?

Pettytyrant

I warned you you would pay Odo for rattling the womens cages on here. Ouch Tin! I felt the sting of that one from here.

Thank you so much for bringing this over, Petty!

Yes, thank you, Mr Tyrant. But don't think my current goodwill toward you will mean I'll let you take liberties with my thread!

I think I'll take a look around... yes.... things seem okay... I won't have things tampered with, you know!! Last time I went camping I came back and the Sourbucks had moved in --- took me weeks to clean spagetti of the walls!

There seem to be a sequence issue or two, Mr Tyrant, but nonetheless I have gladly walked the byways of Needlehole and felt the warmness of old (though stern ) affection!
