Having lived in wales and america I am still unable to understand all americans New York no problem Alabama no way.
In wales you understand a form of the gaelic as in county Down in northern Iriland. We are as most americans decendents of the celts. The only reason I write this is I just told someone they were acting the goat. They probably think I am saying they are acting the capricorn but it means acting the fool. Some would argue that is the capricorn. Oh well before someone tells me away off and chase yourself.

If your in a bar in america and you says Im steping out for a Fag. They think your looking for a homosexual. In america you tip people who wait on you in bars. So knowing this I did the proper english thing to do with the bar maid I ASK her will you have a drink with me she thought I was tring to chat her up. In england the answer would be thank you sir I will have it later if you don't mind and they take the price of the drink for the tip quite confusing.

AH I* see they are doing quite well in my absents. I must say all sound a bit like piss artists who will have a strong weakness on the morrow. As for birds give me the bar slut any day over the Ms. P type.

ths a rich and colourful dialect but confusing. in my mind I hear the exspressions as clearly as I were in Ireland but there is much of the idiom I still don't understand. tell me do they still make barmbrack I love that bread.
