Reminded me of this series of comics. Just keep clicking for the next day until you see the last of mac.

For background: Rob is the owner, Bucky is a badly behaved cat, and Manx is a breed of cat.

*clears throat*

is this ONLY for the brits or can anyone look?

:D Maybe I should have said, "For the Brits, Britophiles, and others interested in Manc/Brit speak."

Sure. Dive in.

Just discovered Manc is a term of derision. Learn something new every day.

In Bridget Jones Diary, after one of her friends gives birth she says her husband is upset "with everything so manky down there..."

:)

I'd just like to point out that 'manc' and 'manky' are not the same thing :P

'Manc' is short for Mancunian

Re the OP - the English cat appeared to be cockney. No cockney would pronounce Bucky as Booky. A cat with a broad Yorkshire accent might, as long as the oo is pronounced as in book and not as in soon.

Made me smile though. Because of course I understood it all and was delighted to think it might appear an inpenetrable code to other people.

As in "The Mancunian Candidate"?

Mancunian = someone from Manchester

and Manx is something else entirely

Yes indeed.

It's beter than that.

read on a bit

he's supposed to be a Scouser
:lol:

Which is probably why he incorrectly uses Bakers Dozen and Bevvy.

If you flick through the comics he just stops appearing after a week, then theres a smash and grab on somebodies piggy bank, :lol: unintended humor

monster 02-13-2009 11:48 AM

is that supposed to be a humerous cartoon? It's bloody awful. And not just because of the repeated butchering of the phrase 'have a Butcher's". And his hair's all wrong for a scouser too. But I like the piggy bank bit :lol:

That's right. It's called English.
