This from the author of the London Noir cult classic Fish & Chip novels !!!! That's Bangers & Mash to you. If I ever did write them I would need some serious proofreading help from a true Brit, all of which would probably terminate in the advice: "best to just burn it and focus on your day job, yeh fecker". I've never even been to GB. I couldn't even tell you what bangers & mash are. Actually I prefer to write Sci Fi, but I've never been to Mars either so I figure it's all good. Sorry, I meant Bangers & Mash, but whenever i think of them I recall this Mitchell & Webb sketch : Sorry - no subtitles. |

I thought bangers and mash was sausages and potatos? Yes, but they are also a pair of mismatched, maverick, wacky, zany, unconventional detectives with murky pasts, drink problems and broken marriages in the cult classic Bangers & Mash London noir novels by our very own Tofudebeast. RumoUr has it that a movie is to be made starring Kevin BACON.  |

Interesting - I just noticed that when I say "mountain" I don't pronounce the "T" or the first "N". So I suppose that would be "mou-en" for me. And despite growing up rather close to Hartford, I do pronounce the initial H's "properly". And I've never met anyone who does that unvoiced velar H . If you wish to discuss mountin Jenne you really ought to be in the "inducing labour" thread. just sayin'.   |

The "Cockney Sparra" accent from the mid 80's is largely gone. In the last 15-20 years, it's developed a distinct West Indian twang to it. The Cockney accent has moved out to the M25 periphery, along with the Cockneys. Inner London is now no spik Inglish territory no problem innit my fren. I left London in 2005, and the first question I would be asking myself when about to talk to a stranger was : will this person speak English ? The answer was usually no. The East End - gor blimey stroof guv you're'avin a larf wiv me ain't yer sunshine - Dear Old London Tahn - is now mainly efnic minorities. Also going back to 2005. Even then da white kids were coming home from school talking laik Ali G innit. I don't know if that is still the case. (From your other posting : we don't count Swindon ... fair enough, I can understand that.) Sounds like the GB equivalent of "white flight." |

RumoUr has it that a movie is to be made starring Kevin BACON. Good thinking with the drink problems, broken marriages etc. Back story is key. I was thinking of making one of them a by-the-book kind of guy with a stable marriage and neatly-pressed shirts, while the other is an alcoholic maverick who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Obviously the first one will do the bulk of the crime-solving since his clean living and appreciation of rules and proper procedure gives him an advantage. Of course the whole thing is a metaphor for teh broken promises of the Russian Revolution. You know symbolism and whatnot. |

The London equivalent certainly. that's exactly what it is. |

Has anyone seen the magician film Mitchell and Webb were in? A must see.
In Soham they say Sohm (Cambs) and 5 miles away in Newmarket (Suffolk) they say Newmarhket
In Norfolk they say Narrrh-folk because they are retarded (apologies to retards)
Some Pikeys are ok BadBeast you only want to post shit through their letter box with a thankyou note.
