    I don't understand my wife...

    Have you ever been out with someone who speaks in such a strong accent and/or such an unusual dialect that you often haven't got a clue what they're taaakin' aboot?

    yes. I lived with a guy in Rotterdam who had such a thick accent, everyone in Rotterdam thought he was Russian (he was from Groningen)

    The person I live with now has to ask me about 4 times to repeat everything. But he is a pisstaking twonk.

      Are you having problems with your new mail-order bride Rhino?

          I went out with a girl at college who had an impenetrable Cumbrian burr. It was really off-putting.

                Ha ha ha. Well, I'm pretty much bilingual now, but it was a long journey. And she still comes out with the occasional saying which utterly baffles me.

                  You should have use some oil or de-tangling spray. Ideally just don't let her coat - sorry, 'hair' - get in that state to begin with.

                    if I had a smiley...

                    My flatmate sounds impenetrable, but thats cos he's a twat.

                    Four beers does the trick.

                      Enough beers, and all men cease to be 'impenetrable'. Or so gay folklore has it.

                        dunno about that... all men are impenetrable, cos they are fuckwits... that aside, they are always grateful when you promise not to say anything in the morning. (*remember my name)

                        Assuming you havent already had a cleaver in your forehead by then.

                                Definite gap in the market there. And people say all the good domain names are gone.

                                      I don't have any problems understanding my Geordie other half.

                                      What is frustrating is that she can do a pretty good impersonation of my accent, and use it to good piss-taking advantage, but I can't do a passable Geordie accent to save my life.

                                          When I had an other half who was a Mackem, it used to really piss me off that she could drop into a southern accent pretty effortlessly, and make it sound so convincing that you'd never know she wasn't born and raised in High Wycombe. I've since found out that almost everyone from the North East can do this. Which pretty much proves, I think, that they're actually putting on that ridiculous accent the rest of the time, as a massive wind-up. As soon as Southerners are out of earshot, they all start speaking normally.

                                            I've suspected that's actually true of all British people for some time now. I think the Australians are faking it too.

                                              I kind of meant everyone other than her, to be honest.

                                                  Not a partner as such, but my ex-fiance's dad was from Carlow, Ireland and I could not understand a word he said. I lived in mortal terror of Kathleen going to the loo or something, and leaving me alone with him without a translator.
