Living in England I can’t tell you how long it’s been since I heard the word “snotter” used. Fortunately, due to the wonder of BBC, I can see “Still Game” down South.

For all you Canadians and other non-Scots, you may want to look at:

which has extracts from a fabulous book called “The Patter” which is a dictionary of Glasgow dialect – enjoy, but remember that no-one here actually speaks like Scotty from Star Trek!

Nico and Bob…Great job…Love it

Just watch some of the clips an’ ye’ll hae nae bother unnerstaunin’ the banter fae noo on. Bit haud aun, yez might’nae unnerstaun hee-haw either…

I was at the Olympics in Greece and I got speaking to this athlete. He was carrying a very long stick, so I said to him, “Are you a pole vaulter ?”

“Nein,” he said, “I’m German… but how did you know my name was Walter ?”

(with apologies to the late Chick Murray)

Since I got a request to do so during the show, I’ll need to go off and record a suitable 50th show greeting now….

Great podcast as usual – nearly snottered all over the back of the head of the girl in front of me on the bus this morning when you came out with the unscripted German utterance; and the mad aunt ramble was priceless

Funny show guys, Bob and his family car trip was a hoot!

I was talking with a German guy about the European Union & the stupid regulations that they set. Generally, the British & the Germans immediately follow these rules, while the French have a reputation for ignoring them when it suits them. In finishing the discussian, the German guy said “Yes, the French are always worse than we Germans … well apart from twice this century”.

BTW did you have any German listeners before AJ’s outburst at the start of the show? I almost crashed my car I laughed so hard – you should really add a disclaimer
