Scores die as drones renew attack on Pakistan's Khyber

Not sure I get the joke mate?

[CincyFulham1]

Rhyming slang...Khyber Pass.   Come on ImperialWhite, I'm a Yank and I get it.

[ImperialWhite]

Sorry, I just had an attack of PC-ittus.

That, and I'm an ignoramus who didn't realise 'Khyber' would be read as 'Khyber pass'.

I can drop my aitches with best home counties wannabe.  The truth is I get emails from a friends who lives around Stepney somewhere, he seems to forget that I'm a Yank and starts in with rhyming slang and I have to keep replying with what does x mean, or " what the hell are you talking about", so I do pick up a little here and there.

Never mind the iron bit, just stick to the old false start mate and have a bubble.

Why is it that football songs need to be sung in a cockney accent in order to be taken seriously? Don't say because it's a working man's sport. Have you seen the price of tickets? It's the same in cricket. Why do you need a Yorkshire accent to be considered a serious cricket pundit? And while we're at it, is it absolutely necessary to be gay to be considered creative? It's a strange world, my masters.

It's necessary to be gay to play cricket if that helps  :hook: .

Micheal mckyntyer does a good sketch taking the mick out of his posh voice at a football match , saying it just dosen't sound right in my accent singing " Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough" .
