Ta shur tai how la, Lou Jocky
You have lost me there Mick so I phoned my grandson who knows everything and repeated your words, he fell silent for a moment and said ;
"Granda that sounds like Mandarin to me and you should know by now we speak Cantonese. "
A translation would be greatly appreciated.
" There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make. "
My boy who worked in China for two years is entirely to blame. Before he went he was warned not to try and speak the lingo to the natives, as a mere wrong inflection could be an unforgivable insult and result in a phalanx of ninjas creeping over his rooftop in the dead of night. (or is that a Japanese thing?)
Anyway, I asked him what the Chinese for "nice pic Jocky" was and the closest he could do was "It be wonderful Mr Jocky". However the spelling is my own, and is at best a rough approximation of the sounds that eminated from his contorted mouth.
Thanks for that. Ta Shur, apart from being a district in Afghanistan, approximates to he said or she said. Ta is one of these strange Mandarin pronouns which does not recognise gender. The phrase Tae hao le in the main equates to wonderful but can mean nice or good. As to Lou I have not got a scooby but you did get jocky right.
In the interests of clarity I think we should leave the Chinese translations to Parker from now on.

Geez, I must have inadvertantly sideswiped into rugby, I was just wonderin' where ole Atheist took off too?
I thought it was some form of Gaulish...I was reminded of this (the relative part is at the end...does it really matter on this thread?):

"She didn't even say goodbye".That defeat by the Saint Louis Cardinals, apt name, has hit you harder than I thought. Never mind there is always the next game against them at home in Texas.This thread is getting absurd Au Revoir Gilliatt.
As for Atheist he is maybe waiting until after the final against France to make his triumphal return. He might think that any contact with us will jinx the Kiwis chances.

That was closer than anyone thought, but congratulations to New Zealand.
I would say the best team of the tournament won the World Cup. But the best team in the final lost.
It's all down to the referee anyway.
ay up
Well it was a long wait but we finally did it.
