Nomad - small observation if I may? If you're going to correct someone's grammer, at least have the decency to spell grammar correctly.

Houses, glass, stones, throw - rearrange the words into a well known phrase

Please also note that the first person singular is a capital letter. This has already been pointed out.

Whoot? Is that you in the photo?

The whole thing oboot local dialects is that it's te dae wi' the identity o' the folk that stey in the place an' helps te gie themsels an' the place ther ain character.

Try readin' the Shetland dialect or the North-east Doric an then ye'll see if oor dialect is hard te unnerstan'. They stey pist (sic) Tarbert.

If yer a Nomad ye must be well enough trevellt te know a' aboot these sort o' things. :wink:

I find the local dialects really interesting, and I am sure that other people from far off do too. They seem to be used in the appropriate threads for the most part.

Seems to me it is your heritage.. This is the Kintyre forum.. Keep it alive! (my humble opinion) :lol:

people in stone houses shouldn't throw glass?

as to changing how one speaks in order to be understood, think it was past tarbert? might have been telling us he was just intoxicated in tarbert?

it says your locality is glasgow? may i assume you do not reside in a part of the greater glasgow area where gentlemen travel in threes accompanied by large long coated canines while carrying a bottle of fermented grape juice and a packet of unfiltered cigarettes? but rather one of the more gentile areas where the loaf is always pan?
