Some years ago I had a girl friend, from this fair city, who asked me once, in her best Hull accent, "What's a penis collider? After several attempts to provide an answer I realised she meant a pina colada. Anyone else had problems with misunderstandings or accents?
I'd have thought she was asking about that scientific research facility in Switzerland, birds are always asking me about it....
I was once in a bar on holiday in Spain when I realised I'd forgotten to pack my penis collider. I asked the barman for one, imagine my surprise when he brought me a cocktail with pineapple in it!
When I did a bit weekend cab driving in South London I picked up an American woman & her grungy looking teenage son. Her son sat in the back making strange noises whilst we struck up the normal cab driver conversations in the front seats. Eventually as we got close to her drop off in Coulsdon she apologised for her son. "Ignore him he's artistic" she said. To which I replied, thinking him a little eccentric, "does he paint or make things like sculptures & stuff?" She gave me a funny look & didn't speak again, she didn't even drop me a tip. As I drove away thinking "tight ****" it occurred to me she may actually have meant to say "autistic" & not artistic. Her fault, not mine.
I've put this on here before but my thick brother in law reckons if something is brand new and the top spec it's apparently..."state of the ark". Thick **** His other one is Alzheimers Disease which he thinks is "Owld Timers Disease". FFS
After a visit to Rome and the Vatican, my daughter's friend commented how impressed she was with the Sixteen Chapel.
I've just seen on Facebook, a girl posting on an article about the Inkerman Tavern, saying she spent a lot of 'lockings' in there...
I hate that one. I've got a salesman that always says exclusativity,instead of exclusivity, that gets on my nerves as well. As does people who say aksed, instead of asked.
People who say "I've had loads of texties off this girl/guy" or "I texted my mum". It's just text or texts. Or, people who are white, but talk like they're black. Like Tim Westwood. He needs a long cuddle with a belt sander.
