    It’s hard to believe that Andy Capp, of all Brits, to have been enlisted in the British Army.

    @Number Three (from Gweedo).

    Another Cone of Silence draws to a close

    Number Three said, about 5 missing gossips ago

    @Gweedo Murray

    I was just calling it like I see it. But the number of comments we have on Andy Capp now are loads compared to how many it used to be a few years ago.-Yep. So many places, so little time.-Well I guess different parts of America pronounce it different ways. I prefer the way you say it. That’s the way I’ve always heard it pronounced.-If I ever get banned (fat chance) then I hope you all won’t be gossiping about me. My comments may be gone but my eyes are not. Consider yourselves warned. Haha.-Did you ever play marbles? I’m not too sure what the object of the game is but a wild guess would be that you need to get your opponent’s marbles out of the circle with your own by ‘flicking’ them or something. I’ve never played so I have no idea.-Happy Tuesday to you! Have a good one.

    I think we have a healthy load myself. Enough to feel satisfied but not overwhelmed !-That other pronunciation is regional dialect. -If you are ever gone make sure someone or two has yer mail so you can “get through”.-I had a very brief run on the marbles. Not much of a games person really. bevie’s little boy explained it just royt, by my reck’nin’.-Tuesday was good. -Wo is me Wednesday ….

    When I was in the Forces, every hole and space was measured by the number of beer cans that you could fit in, this included the space in the M72 rocket launcher between the round and the end-cap. Yes! you better check before using it against the enemy.

    I bet over at Pibgorn you had some good times! Was there any other places you talked at apart from Pibgorn?

    -I will definitely make sure of that.-Yes Beviek’s video was excellent. I love the ‘clack’ sound the marbles make when they hit each other. Plus the little boy was adorable! I used to talk into the fan like he did at the beginning to hear my voice sound weird. -May your Wednesday be wonderful!

    According to Wikipedia:.The word “SCOUSE” is a shortened form of “lobscouse”, derived from the Norwegian lapskaus, Swedish lapskojs and Danish labskovs (or the Low German Labskaus), a word for a meat stew commonly eaten by sailors..In the 19th century, poorer people in Liverpool, Birkenhead, Bootle and Wallasey commonly ate “scouse” as it was a cheap dish. Outsiders tended to call these people “scousers”.

    The scouse accent is from Liverpool. I like it!

    I’m a Geordie though so I don’t live anywhere near Liverpool.
