Welcome from a fellow newbie!

Thanks! (Stimbo too)

Now we know what Bully from Bullseye got up to between series:

I must correct you, Boes is an ox! I quote the lyrics of his intro song:
"Which Ox can teach us something?" and later "Who does let himself be cowinated?"

Hiyas to you, Parkers!

Your list of people is a good one! Your Grandfather must be / was a great man.

Very much so, if it weren't for him I might have a much worse view of religious people.

I remember once telling him about a year ago that I was doing a presentation about Martin Luther King, he then casually mentioned he had known the guy. I was pretty damn amazed. My brothers later told me about how he used to brag about one time giving MLK a tour of Amsterdam in his Mercedes when he arrived in the Netherlands.

There's no such thing as portuguese dubbed Dr Who.... perhaps you mean brazillian dubbed...

wut, but they speak Portuguese in brasil right so it's Portuguese right? What am I not understanding? xD

Technically, yes, it is called portuguese.
In reality, it's less portuguese than US english is English.

Damned brazillians can't even say the name of their country the right way... any word ending in 'L', they make it end with the sound 'U'.... Bráziu.

a few years ago, we had a new "orthographic agreement" implemented. It was supposed to be implemented in all portuguese speaking countries, Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and São Tomé and Principe. All the african countries rejected it... later on, Brazil rejected it as well.
The sad part is that the agreement would make the written language closer to the spoken language... in Brazil.
Now, in Portugal, we have a new way of writing words which makes them sound (according to the old agreement) like they're brazillian...
Many of the new words were already widely used in Brazil, having dropped a few mute consonants..


anyway... rant over, but so much more to write about it...

Welcome, Boes.

Hey, I've got a question for you. You know the Dutch guy who built a "replica" of Noah's Ark on steel barges?

Does "replica" mean something different in Dutch?

So you were turned away from christianity by junior bible? I wonder what effect would chick-tracts have on you if you encountered them at that age.

Ugh. My best friend (his name is Brent) has a Brazilian girlfriend. She pronounces his name "Breyant". It fucking drives me insane. When I hear her say his name I want to stab her in the eye.

/rant.

Thank you! Do you mean this guy? I haven't heard of it before.

Also no, replica is one of many Dutch words taken from English or the other way around.

So you were turned away from christianity by junior bible? I wonder what effect would chick-tracts have on you if you encountered them at that age.

I have honestly never heard of chick-tracts before, the google images results look like incredibly stupid comics to me.

Welcome, Boes

Thanks!

I can't oxcept your oxplination. Bully is an oxceedingly oxperienced actor of oxceptional range, with an oxcellent ear for oxccents. To say otherwise would be an oxymoron.

Sounds like they'd get on well with Cockneys. The Cockney alphabet is missing all the L's and T's, TH becomes F, R turns into W, glottal stops all over the place - it's a good job EastEnders comes with subtitles.
