I’m putting this here because I have no objection to it being closed.

But I just thought I’d point out, since it was closed, that it was a parody. I wasn’t actually drunk enough to type that way. I wasn’t very drunk at all.

I guessed it was a sort of parody and I claim my prize. 🙂 It was a bit “mummerzet”, though, so I am now wondering what a typical Isle of Man accent would be like.

Oh well, if I want useless information, I suppose I am in the right place.

It was, in fact, perfectly punctuated eye dialect, I wasn’t fooled for a minute.

It’s a parody of a drunk being philosophical in a thick cockney accent.

Not sure why.

Anybody else think **TVeblen** locked the thread so nobody could ask what the heck “congentially” means?
