[Brendan Quinn]

Can someone tell me what the following means, I haven't got a clue...the 1st
bit at least...


>Here radgy is that tac alreet?

>Aye, its as sweet as a nut wor kid.


I managed to read all of Trainspotting and quite liked it, but I had a
problem, for a wee while when I was reading I would pronounce (in me heed)
everything in scots or Geordie or whatever accent it was...fucks sake. Was
hard going at first.

That site is cool eh, here's another one I like even more, for urban myths:

Some funny shite if you have a trawl :)
