Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

Gray pays an baycun

Lol. I knew it was something like that.

Surely that's a Black Country delight?

Yes, I suspected that's what he meant. Obviously everyone from Birmingham talks like Noddy Holder, asyou know.

Dizzy, garrulous person.
15 letters. I don't know how many words.

Vegetable and meat stew.
11 letters. Again, I don't know how many words.


These words cross at the second letter.

Flibbertygibbet?

Not sure about the stew

That has to be right.

It would mean that "Camera lens shield" 4 letters would have a 'B' as the third letter.

Slumgullion will be the stew then.



Using Google I'd say that gobo might be your thing for the camera lens shield - although it's more a lighting shield...

Never heard of Slumgullion or gobo, but I've googled them and they look good.

Slumgullion's a great word - doesn't sound very appetising though.

Off to Birmingham today. Jewellery Quarter. (Very) Late Chrimbo prezzie.

Anyone need anything? Brown pea and ham soup? Diamond ring? Peaky Blinder?

Speaking of Peaky Blinders, anyone recognise that language the 'Gypsies' are speaking.
It definitely isn't Romani.
Romanian?

I had assumed it was Romani, but obv was not sure.

Been an interesting & decent watch, looks to have had plenty of money thrown at it, but the accents seem all over the place to me veering between Scouse, Brummie & Irish.

The original Peaky Blinders look a lot less smart.

Yeah they're struggling arent they? But, its the first time I've ever seen the brummie accent used in a drama!
I've quite enjoyed it, but as you say there probably very little similarity to the real Peaky Bloinders.
The Birmingham Lee's arent quite the same as on the telly either.

This caught my eye this morning - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/24355478 - lots of lower case G's.

That's a good article. It's great to see positive stories, they add a bit of balance. Thanks for posting.

PS- Pity they couldn't use an upper-case G for Gypsy though...

Have I missed a gag here? Read the link and there doesn't seem to be any lower case g's!

You coming to Luton this week for any of the gukpt stuff, Tom?

Yes, it has been edited. Wow! Isn't that wonderful?

I don't ever recollect that happening before post publication.

Genius! Never heard that before. Cheers.

I put the TV on this morning just as the Japanese Grand Prix was starting.

I don't know anything about F1 but it's very exciting.

I assume all the cars have to be roughly the  same spec, but how far does it it extend? Does it cover such things as CC, overall weight & size, gear ratios etc?

"If he can close the gap to within a second, DRS will be enabled".

What does that mean?
