During a conversation with a person from the CSP I was told that a women who works for the Dutchy wears a badge which says I surf, but written in German.
After listening for a while I was perturbed as to why this woman had a badge with I surf on it...
We did laugh...
Someone saying I serve in a really broad Cornish accent can to the English sound like surf, I'm told it's a V thing
The following has a very, very slight link to the subject of dialect, but because the original posting has not been followed up and rather than start a new thread ......... well read on.
In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and Magnums.And Satan said, "You want hot fudge with that? And Man said, "Yes!" And Woman said, "I'll have one too with chocolate chips".And lo, they gained 10 pounds.
And God created the healthy yoghurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair.And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the cane and combined them.And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.
So God said, "Try my fresh green salad". And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.
God then said, "I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them".And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter.And Man's cholesterol went through the roof.
Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre Into chips and deep fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds.
God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds.And Satan came forth with a cable T.V. with remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.
Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite.And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger.Then Satan said, "You want fries with that?" and Man replied, "Yes, and super size 'em."And Satan said, "It is good." And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.
God sighed. And created quadruple by-pass surgery.And then Satan chuckled, and created the National Health Service.
THE FINAL WORD ON NUTRITION
After an exhaustive review of the research literature, here's the final word on nutrition and health:
1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
Well, on the subject of surfing, they tell the story about the lad who went down to the beach, stuck his tri-fin in the sand, and stood next to it. Didn't go near the water. Did the same thing, day after day. Finally someone asks him when he was planning on going out the back. "Never", he replied. "They also surf who only stand and wait."
And on the subject of the Garden of Eden....I remember seeing a show on the telly about Australian Outback Missions. They had this Aboriginal preacher on, he said he reckoned it was a pity that Adam and Eve weren't Aboriginal. Cos they'd have killed the snake, cooked and eaten it, and saved us all the trouble since.
