mint Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 No, no, Wools, the tinge of sadness just won't do. Shake up and Shape up, Old Boy!Lordy, I wanted to be cheered up. Just nothing seems to go quite right for me just now; the most benign thing to have happened to me lately is having the fosse emptied today.So............just post something cheerful and funny, OK?

powerdesal Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 ''apeth'' is a different way of spelling the northern expression relating to a ''half-penny worth'', conventionally written as ''ha'peth''.hence 'you daft ha'peth' which (in yorkshire ) could be 'you daft wassock' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerdesal Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 The phrase you mean is 'worser and worserer'A Wassock...........imagine a field with the hay / straw cut and bunched together into a cylinder about the span of your arms, then the cylinder is tied tightly about 3/4 of the way up, hence you have effectively a cone topped with an inverted cone.when the upper face of the top (inverted) cone is all 'frizzy' it can be called a 'tufty - heyded (headed) wassock'[:D][:D][:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weedon Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Apeth or ha'peth is also well known in Kent, perhaps because we had quite a few daft ones, I was certainly called that by my mum. Daft wassock was also in common use although as I remember the corn stacks were called stook's.Now that I've had a bit of a think, these may or not be recognised by you.Cack handed...awkward or left-handed. Dab hand means good at something. Emmet is an ant. To have a gammy leg is to walk with a limp.Then there is "Charlie's dead!" When a girls petticoat shows below the bottom of a frock. And "It's raining over Will's mum's" when rain is expected shortly.We used to play Tip Cat at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Weedon, you running south in a camping car to have all that knowledge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedon Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Just been South Wools, Marmande and back and blooming hot it was as well. Just why do they cut drain pipes in half to put on their rooves? And I did notice the mais (sp) was twice the height as the stuff in Mayenne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 No, he already did it in a double decker bus. He naws ya naw. (that was in answer to Wooly, you got in between Weedon).There was once a joke somewhere in a programme about Margaret Thatcher eating and someone said she had squid on chin. So we always used to say "squid on chin" to let the other know he had a drop or dribble of something that needed wiping. I'm also full of knowledge you know. We had a camping car once, an Estafette!

woolybanana Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Off again on Tuesday, jj, further east, at least until the grockels go home. She stood there in a teensy weensy little almost nothing bikini with sun reflecting off the water drops on her body. I had to sit down for a moment I tell you.
