Re falling asleep when you shouldn't : our friend who lives in Ilkeston has a theory about that subject, I quote accurately word for word "When yoer gerrin ode and yer get like that yoer about knackered and no good fer nowt, If I ever get like that" (meaning herself) "I want somebody to hit me we a shovel at the side of me ed and gerrit over we" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Can I jog a few Aussie memories I had a book some years ago back a bloke called John O'Grady called "Lets Talk Strine" (Or Aussie English and how she is spoke) any of you diggers read it? Some funny bits I remember where' a Gallah Party '(This is a gathering of ladies to socialise ) coz they squark like a bunch of Gallahs. pronounced Ga lars, (I went round for years convinced it was a gala party as in village fete and gala) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 A gallah is a parrot Ian, its reckoned to be stupid because it sits and eats off the road and generally gets run down by cars. "Gallah" is also used to denote anyone thats a fools as in,"Bloody Gallah"! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 AYUPMEDUCK I know that , I did actually think it was a cockatoo but subsequently I found out it is actually (as you say) a parrot ,and it's not even a nickname (as I thought) but it is it's real breed name. I was commenting on the pronunciation of Gallah and how I thought it was pronounced. I actually found out from some Aussies, who I met on my travels once ,I thought I was being clever by telling them to stop sqawking like a bunch of GALAS (not Gallahs) and got the funniest looks in return LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sketchleyman 0 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I will admit Sketchleyman you have a good playing surface at the City Groud,you get enough manure on it every week. can't really defend that, as i quite agree, and it is spread quite liberally too!! this seems to have taken a quite decided football turn as opposed to the lingo i thought it would be. But I'm ok with that, where are all the forest fans though?? (by the way, that is a setter upper for some more gip) sketch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rob237 89 Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Regular attender from the mid 50's until the Clough era...just didn't like the man. Best side to wear the Garibaldi was John Carey's "just fizz it about XI": 1968-71. Grummitt, Hennessey, Newton, Barnwell, Storey-Moore, Hinton, Baker et al... Cheers Robt P.
