gerard 6 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Great pics! Your 'local area'? Nice! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah....Fuji is actually pretty far away but as you can see from the photos this time of year gives a great view. It's a pity that come April she will disappear back into the haze for another 5 months or so Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 A few hours by train.....dunno by road but probably quicker. I was rafting in HER shadow during the summer too. Really nice area. Loads of onsen dotted around the place too. Just wish there was snow on the surrounding countryside/ hills Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 haha.....Its a line from the song 500 Miles by the Proclaimers ( a scottish double act) basically it translates as... When I'm talking nonsense, well you know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who's talking nonsense to you "Haver" means talking crap or telling lies Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Their singing accent is hilarious. I like it, it makes me smile. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Yeah makes me smile as well. Usually when people sing, they lose their accent but these 2 emphasise theirs!!! You should listen to "Letter from America" to hear them really roll those "R's"!! Link to post Share on other sites

Throw a kilt on those boys, and a bottle of Glenfidich 12 in their hands. Then put them in TV commercials and on posters... Scotland would have such a tourism boom they couldn't handle it!

charlotte 0 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Do they try to keep the accent in there or is it just natural or just too strong? Like you say usually accents seem to go when singing. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Dunno, but I imagine they have purposefully tried to keep their accents while singing Link to post Share on other sites
