[tescr500]

welcome long un, you'll get all the help you need on here, really top crowd on here so look forward to see things develop in the furture cheers.

PS £500 thats a bargain on how it looks.

[375]

He should be called Monkey not long un.

[tescr500]

seems right to me 375 agreed lol
wish i had a monkey in my pocket could get me crank rebuilt then

[twostrokesmoker]

Welcome Long un

Thats a great starter of a bike mate & your in good hands on this forum, dont be afraid to ask dumb assed questions ( I still do )

Could you send me your address, so I can forward you a Gregory for £500, so the next time you find a bargain you can put my name on it [-o<

[Howie]

I can forward you a Gregory

Blimey, I haven't heard it called a Gregory for ages =D>

I use to work for a bloke (bit of a 'delboy') who some days only spoke in rhyming slang, mind you this was when I was in the South.

375 would have understood him

[375]

If not a gregory how about a kite

[Howie]

If not a gregory how about a kite

Well that's me stumped
I may be from the South but I never was any good at rhyming slang.
Whats a 'Kite' then?

[375]

Same as a gregory a cheque

[Howie]

Gregory Peck - a cheque, I get that but why is a Kite also a cheque?

See thats where East end talk falls flat. I mean why call £500 a monkey? And whats a Pony? Is that £20? But why....why?

Don't get me wrong, I love the fact here in the UK we have different dialects & phrases etc & we should do our best to hang on to them.

Its like here in the East Riding, the first time I met my wifes old man (Dad) he greeted me with the phrase 'now then'

So I was expecting him to carry on talking as in 'now then how are you?'

But no, 'now then' up here is like 'hello' where I come from. I bloody love this country & its bizarre ways.

Ooh & up here they say 'what do you know' as in (I think ) 'What are you up to?'

The first time someone asked me that I replied "the English language", don't think it went down very well

Anyway, sorry long un we seem to have gone off track with your post, seems to happen a lot on this forum

[375]

Can you guess how much a Steve Mcgarrett is? (answer is in the name).

Last time i was in Derbyshire they kept saying, Alright duck

[Howie]

Can you guess how much a Steve Mcgarrett is?

I love these sort of puzzles, always get them wrong though.

You don't want me on your pub quiz team

Don't tell me 375, I'm going to get this one,

Steve McGarrett, Hawaii 5-0.

See my logical brain says that it must be £50 but my diverse brain is thinking, Hawaii 5-0, book em Danno. But danno doesn't rhyme with anykind of monetary term.

O.k I give up, what is a Steve McGarrett?

[KR-1R]

.
.
I get it now...

Steve Mcgarret...
ryhmes with CLARET..
you buy wine by the dozen...
there are 8.3 standard drinks in a regular bottle (14%)
...SO 12 x 8.3 = 99.6

so a McGarrett is a HUNDY - right?
...maybe I forgot to carry a Dart score in there somewhere
(you can tell I didnt Google this answer ay)

[375]

Alright duck
