"And heres' you BBC weather report.....................we are pleased to report that weather conditions will be normal for the months of September, October, November, December, January and February. Rain and more rain. Right! Now for some dreadful news from other parts of the world..............."

"Whinge?"

[winston]

Yep Whinge. Scotty is proficient at this form of "Middle English" His grasp of his own "native" language has fallen by the wayside somewhere in the cavern of his mind. He's very good at profanity too though.

Politics
Hurricane season
The price of fuel

I'd rather talk about other stuff...say, a Scotch on the rocks; life's so much more pleasant after a Scotch or two on the rocks.

[scotty]

I havent even mentioned the prices of guitars in the UK! Gordon Brown! or the Christmas adverts on T.V already!

[kiramdear]

How's the weather, Scotty?

[scotty]

Snowing today!

[kiramdear]

That's about what I figured

[paologregorio]

"Whinge" and "Whinging" are pronounced the same way we here in the States pronounce "whine" and "whining" IIRC. Am I correct Scotty, Brian...Sarah?

[ajish4]

Ah man,
