Tubby Beaver 209 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 you are just too old.... let me translate for you... " It is indeed the truth, and it doth make one look a dapper lad if thou are able to fathom the event after all the imbibing of alcoholic beverages! The wine from the rice grain is free flowing like a spring river, and the dawning of thy new year is as excitable as a new born lamb. Thou heavenly crystals that float forth from the sky, fall heavy and true on every New Years night, and if thou are strong in the morn after, thou can enjoy uninterrupted runs through the thickly settled flakes until the sun doth fall" Clear enough for ya JA?

Go Native 70 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 JA as most of their conversations are normally with sheep, the bro's from across the Tasman aren't usually that concerned with making themselves understood! Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Tubby, I thank thee from the deepest recesses of my circulatory organ. That doth, indeed, now make some sense. And ... yea verily, I am truly too old to be learning a new language, even when it appears to have its origins in the english of my ancestors. Mama, suck it in, be a man (oops - you ain't sorry!) don't be a wus - get into it - believe me, you are but once young! (see earlier comments). Link to post Share on other sites
