    Yup do it all the time.

    In Ireland 'aye' is common enough so that one slips under the radar. I'm fond of using 'mayhap', 'd'ye ken' and 'cry your pardon'.

    I made a T-shirt with the phrase "All things serve the Beam" and get questions about it all the time.

    I also called someone a 'pert wee cully' the other day and they looked at me in bewilderment.

    I agree, it is great though when someone who you'd least expect gets the reference and is able to respond in kind!

    I think that , subconsciously everyone knows that all things serve the beam.

    The answer is within

    @ Letti, I usually tell them that its kinda like an all mystical energy field that binds everything together. Like the Force - but better.

    Then I go home and wonder why I don't have more friends...

    Hey. More? I think one good friend is worth more than thousand pals.

    And sometimes if you think too much about not having any friends you miss out on the fact that you likely have more than you think.

    come to the Palaver Castle some day, hopefully starting next week there'll be plenty of bears and wolves and princesses and queens and other animals and people, all very ready to befriend a JJ Rambo.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Easy! You can follow the link in my signature and read up a little first to get the hang of things (for example, joining the Library is highly recommended), or you can just come to the Castle, and post!

    The other day I was talking to my boss about a particular pain in the arse client who is causing me a lot of grief. I was just about to say ''he is trig that one'' Before realising it would mean nothing to her and she would probably wonder what I was talking about !

    I like the word trig and is very apt!

    Anyway the client is a trig cove and wery pert too! Just had to say it!

    I've recently started my comments on some sites with "Hear me, I beg" - and, luckily, every time it struck me as outrageously incongruous (remembering that people I addressed could hardly understand any words, let alone have read any King) before I posted

    What a pity. I would have been interested in their reaction totally.

    I set me watch and warrant on a lot of things since reading DT. More, though, I end up saying "Well, that's alright then" and - surprisingly - "we are well met". I use billybumbler very often in a number of different contexts.
