Subject: whit dae ye think o' this From: little john cameron Date: 11 Aug 00 - 11:50 AM Ah came across this yesterday.Micht be a guid idea? Kick Off Annoying Chatters
If you grow tired of another IRC user's harassing, annoying, or off-topic behavior, you can kick that user to the curb using the KICK command. If you have operator status in a channel or started the channel yourself, you can kick a user out by executing the KICK command followed by the channel name and the person's nickname. However, keep in mind that the kicked-out user can rejoin the channel and if that happens, you might want to explain why you kicked that person out. |

Subject: RE: BS: whit dae ye think o' this From: Rick Fielding Date: 11 Aug 00 - 11:57 AM Hey little John. I just read a most interesting comic book that Heather's very Glaswegian sister sent her called "The Broons". Fascinating dialect. Was this a common way of speaking at a certain time? Especially a young child using "me" instead of "I". Anyone else familiar with it? I apologise for "Instant thread creep" but I doubt anyone will be kicking you out of anything in the near future. By the way you know I'm kidding when I say (in a couple of other threads) that I don't understand a word you write. You DO know that, don't you? Rick |

Subject: RE: BS: whit dae ye think o' this From: GUEST,SCabby Doug on another PC at work Date: 11 Aug 00 - 12:29 PM The Broons has been running in "The Sunday Post" newspaper for over 60 years now. Maw, Paw, Hen, Joe, Daphne, Maggie, Horace, The Twins, and the Bairn, not to mention Granpa all live at 10 Glebe St in an unnamed Scottish town. Originally drawn by Dudley D Watkins for about 30 years until he died, the paper reran his strips for a number of years. after which a number of other artists took over. As to whether any children actually spoke/speak like that , I suppose that it started as an attempt to portray a young child's efforts at language, but as the Bairn is now pushing 70, it gets a bit wearing... I was in a comic/book shop in Glasgow and a very well-spoken wumman came in asking if they had any "Browns" books. Took me and the proprietor about 15 minutes to work out that she was looking for Broons books but wouldn't say Broons because that would be "common".... The companion strip is "Oor Wullie". A perpetually 11 year-old tousle-haired laddie.

Subject: RE: BS: whit dae ye think o' this From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Aug 00 - 02:30 PM Hi Rick, It's Czech, actually. My dad is a Czech, from Prague. That's how I got the name "Coventry"...his name was "Yrtnevoc", and I just turned it around backwards! And if ye believe that, Ah've got a bridge tae sell ye. It's in a wee toon hereaboots, name of Coldwater, and it's a braw bridge if everrr ye did see ain. I'll sell it for a date wi' Winona Ryder, if ye can arrrange it. If not, then to the divil wi' ye! Rick, Ah must nooo...what is yer objection to mah puttin' a picture wi' a kilt on Mudcat? It would be tasteful, after all...Ah can assure ye on that, Laddy. By the way, we have a town named Coldwater and a town named Beeton in the general area, and there's a couple of rather puerile jokes that have gone around here for years about..."Dick Hertz...from Beeton....and Dick Shrivels from Coldwater". Just a bit of topical Canadiana for the Mudcatters. Oh, and here's another joke. A woman dies in a traffic accident and goes to heaven. Meets Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. He greets her and says, "To get into Heaven you have to perform a simple literacy test...you have to spell a word correctly." "What's the word?" says she. "The word is love," he replies. "L-O-V-E," she says. "You're in," says Saint Peter. "Say," he continues, "could you handle the gate for just a minute, I have to visit the Little Saint's Room." "Okay," says the woman, happy that she's made it to heaven. Not 30 seconds later her husband shows up at the gate. "What are you doing here?" she gasps. "I got word that you'd been killed on the highway, and I was so upset that I shot myself," he says. "Is this heaven?" "Yes, it is," she says, "but you can't get in until you spell a word first." "What's the word," says he. "Czechoslovakia." |

Subject: RE: BS: whit dae ye think o' this From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 11 Aug 00 - 03:02 PM Back tae the Broons an' Oor Wullie. Dudley D. Watkins was the greatest comics illustrator IMO. He was the artist for Biffo the Bear, Lord Snooty and his pals (both in the Beano), Desperate Dan (Cow pies, anyone?) in the Dandy, Ginger (in the Beezer), and Mickey the Monkey in the Topper, and many others as well. Those were the days. A' the best, Seamus |

Subject: RE: BS: whit dae ye think o' this From: SINSULL Date: 11 Aug 00 - 03:30 PM I was starting to believe that the arrogant Americans had actually taken over Mudcat. Now I see that the Scots are the usurpers. And worse yet, they can't spell worth a damn so they feign an accent. That's whit Ithin a thet. Mary |

Subject: RE: BS: whit dae ye think o' this From: Lox Date: 11 Aug 00 - 03:56 PM I was going to write something , but I czech'd it and thought I'd get more of a kick if I aBridged it. Quite some feat you might say (assuming you don't think anythings afoot), then again showing me the boot and shooing me off once and for all could make me a leg-end! veryverydrunkyouknow..haw..haw..(dribble)..oops..THUNK!.. skol |

Subject: RE: BS: whit dae ye think o' this From: little john cameron Date: 11 Aug 00 - 06:03 PM I say SINSULL old chap would you like everyone to speak the same?It would be a very boring world if we did. Where i live now in Newfoundland the dialect changes from town to town and it is fascinating to hear the difference.Try looking at the etymology of the english language and you wil see that it is derived from many diverse sources. Folk music is the same. If it bothers you so much, when you see my name on a topic just skip past it.In other words"If ye cannae staun the heat,get oot o' the kitchen" LJC |

Subject: RE: BS: whit dae ye think o' this From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Aug 00 - 06:50 PM Thaht's what Ah sai too. Richt on, Little John! SINSULL has managed to insult both Scots and Americans simultaneously. It's a bluidy disgrace! The swine ougcht to be keelhauled, with extrrreme prrrrejudice. Say, I haven't been to Newfoundland...what is the folk scene like there? |
