Time to time I run a search in the engines in order to see how often burgmanusa pops up. I ran across a piece of a thread in another forum. I won't ruin it.....here is the link:

Better tone up my six-pack then - or was that just buy another couple or three?

 

[billmeek]

I'm wondering if some of them actually looked thru the forums here or just assumed a few items. :?

 

[NormanB]

some people just dont recognise a good thing when they see it!

.... or (apparently) humor either! :lol:

 

[billmeek]

I just realised .... a bike forum, based in the UK, discussing Burgmans, and only one post by Norman??? :shock:

What don't they understand?

What I'd like to know is what don't they understand? We all understand NormanB's humour! And, last time I checked most of us speak English albeit not grammatically perfect!

Norm...you are welcome on THIS side of the pond anytime!

Bryan, did you see the link on About.com? http://motorcycles.about.com/od/messageboards/

The link is the 3rd one down under the ad for the iPod.

Yep. Neal (the author) added the link after dropping by the forums after being invited to visit.

Curious British phrasing 101:

Norm's down the pub means he's at his local (not that he is or is not local).

Don't ask me how I know.

Regards,

Dan

 

[NormanB]

Go on then Dan - how do you know that?

 

[Randy]

Be nice Norman, he asked you not to ask how he knows -maybe does not want you to know how he knows he knows , I say let's except that he thinks knows

 

[NormanB]

Hey Randy - Donald Rumsfeld has hijacked your account! :lol:

Tag line...

Norman,

I just noticed you are the "Tavern Jester". Were you recently knighted? I can't believe I missed that one!

Congrats!

What I learned in England

Go on then Dan - how do you know that?

I got a 4 year lesson in British english and colloquiallisms when I worked there in the late 90s.

For example when I talked about having a fanny pack I learned that in England they're called bum bags. I'll leave it to Norman to explain what a fanny is.

Suspenders don't hold up one's trousers. Over to you Norm.

When someone asks how you are, don't answer ... I'm just ducky. Took me almost a year before someone explained that one to me.

I could go on but sufice it to say that we're 2 countries separated by a common language. Loved every minute of it.

Regards,

Dan

You're the first one to notice and mention it. Norman's in a class all by himself therefore he has a new rank. :wink:

They hold the socks up don't they?

Tell you what, I could go to England and really have people asking "what did she just say"
