UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted January 29, 2010 Whilst on leave, you may be attacked by a Ruffian If so, follow these 5 methods of self defence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeDixonUK 5 Posted January 30, 2010 Most kind of you to update my self defence standards to that of the most modern teachings should I be set upon by ruffians in Paris or the like. Might also come in handy against a cunning Jerry if I prang my kite sausage side, so long as I remember to take along my Hat, Umbrella and Watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jxeboy 0 Posted January 30, 2010 Haha, That is so great. Is it just me (being american) or is it extremely hard to understand what they are saying? ~Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConradB 0 Posted January 30, 2010 Haha, That is so great. Is it just me (being american) or is it extremely hard to understand what they are saying? ~Jake I see you don't watch enough British films! There are many, and good ones too like Zulu, The Battle of Britain, The Dam Busters, The Cruel Sea, Sink The Bismark, and a whole host of them. Plus anything from the Python boys will get you up to speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted January 30, 2010 The Ruffian Scallywag is of course speaking Cockney (most Brits have trouble with that too...frightful noise) Whereas, the decent, law abiding gentleman, is speaking Her Majesty's English If anyone spoke like that these days in the UK..they would probably get their teeth knocked out...hence the need for a stout umbrella!

OvS 8 Posted January 30, 2010 Haha, That is so great. Is it just me (being american) or is it extremely hard to understand what they are saying? ~Jake No... in America, we're a little more lazier than that and would handle it like this. OvS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NS13Jarhead 6 Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Haha, That is so great. Is it just me (being american) or is it extremely hard to understand what they are saying? ~Jake Two peoples separated by a common language. When I was a teenager, our local PBS channel played The Benny Hill Show on Saturday evenings. I never did fully understand what he was saying, but I did enjoy "Hill's Angels". THEY spoke the international language. Edited January 30, 2010 by NS13Jarhead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
