Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: PIPEBENDER

Well a fair dinkum dinky die Aussie can be a tad hard to understand too. Not just the accent, but the slang.

Struth mate, some think we're a cow short of a paddock at times...

Hey LB,, I got the cow part without an explanation.
But, honestley, true blue aussie, should have its
own name, like OZZ trailian.
See from the Britians I know ,, the main difference is
in accent (including an entire sentence)
Having my British/American flying instructor buddy,
I've met quite an assortment of english speaking,from
over the pond people.
something I will cherish forever.
For one reason is since I dont have the real
time to travel abroad. or really the $.
yall.

THE DARLING BUDS OF MAY is quite a famous tv series and I think it was shown world wide (David Jason & Catherine Zeta Jones).I'm sure it was shown in the states.It was Catherine Zeta Jones first major role.

Hi ya lips.
I dont watch much television either, since
getting hooked on the internet.
All the hbo, & pay stations seem to only play reruns
that now play on reg tv.
( & I still subscribe to the hbo's )

thin worth while to watch.

Its too hot to watch tv at the moment but I think you must agree that with all the channels available nearly all the stuff they serve up is crap thats why its better to rent or buy a dvd .Chicago just come out on dvd AUG 4 but its just too hot.

I can be quite certain I never saw that series. I think I would remember with her in it and I presume the male actor was David Jansen.

I haven't had a TV hooked up for anything but video's for the past few years and before that all I watched was satalite TV for several more years. I rarely miss it.

Accent and Slang

That's for sure LB and it's the same all over. I understand the Queen herself thinks the Cockney accent is foreign.

We have many different accents here in the States and different expressions from different parts of the country. Add it all up and it can get confusing.

I have a habit of knodding out, if only WATCHING tv.
2 hrs if left alone, then almost wide awake, till
morning. & another reason I only rent movies.
on the weekend. (get em fer 2-3 days)
instead of overnite.
Also part of the reason I end up here at Lit Late at nite
& most of it.

Totally. I don't know too many Americans, but there are a lot of Brits over here, and the difference in their accents is incredible. Especially when you consider what a small country it is.

I love Australian slang, I don't think there's anytihng like it anywhere else in the world. For instance, instead of talking about cows, I could have said.. A sausage short of a bbq.

One I really like when describing someone who's not well organised, is to say they couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery, or an orgy in a brothel.

We are in the dark ages over here because most english homes don't have air conditioning maybe thats why your power systems blow over there because of extra usage of them?. I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY IT BUT. ITS TOO DAMNED HOT!

Pipebender

The following is an excerpt from a music newsletter in the Chicago area. I was not
content to accept that Pipebender was gone and some of you knew that. I wanted more
than his absence to tell the story. Well here it is. Confirmation of his passing.

My profound thanks to Spicecajun for locating this and passing it on to me to post here.

And finally, my good friend Steve -------*, lost to us last week. As many friends have
written to me over the past couple of days, no matter how grim the gig may have been
Steve found a way to maintain his humor, and everyone else’s as well. He was a very
good drummer, singer, and (despite his protests) vibes player.
More important to me than his musical skills, though, was the fact that he was absolutely
a stand-up kinda guy. He hired me once to play for some family function of his, and a lot
of his old neighborhood friends were in attendance. It was obvious that Steve still
maintained his connections to most of them, as he maintained his friendship with
members of the bands that he and I played in long after those bands had dissolved.
He knew about his illness and the seriousness of it for quite a while and didn’t tell
anyone because he didn’t want anyone to fuss—there wasn’t anything anyone could have
done about it anyway. The last time I saw him (ironically, the first thing he did was to
inform me of Rick Levy’s death), he was still standup—he insisted that he was “doing
ok” and he promised that we’d have lunch regularly until he couldn’t anymore, but I’m
sure that he knew that the end was very near. He leaves behind a beautiful daughter, and
quite a few sad friends.
Not a lot of laughs this week, sorry about that. Sometimes life’s like that.

* The last name in this article was correct but I deleted it because Steve didn’t post it at
Lit and it is not my place to do it now.

sigh...

 

[spicecajun]

thank you

I knew you would do the right thing. that is why I left it in your hands. You're the best, as always.

 

[Ladybird]

Thanks for posting that Syn, and thanks to you Spice Cajun for finding it.

I guess it's the closure we all needed. Without a funeral to attend something was missing. Now it's complete.

Steve's daughter will be in my prayers. And Steve... keep that seat for me hon... you just never know when I'll need it.

 

[spicecajun]

Steve was 44. or 45. He was 10 years older than I am. He was born in 1958. I was born in '68. I know you all knew him a lot better than I did. I talked to him on the phone (as I'm also sure many of us did) and I am having a hard time accepting someone who sounded so healthy could be so sick. Especially knowing he was hurting and didnt allow us some of that burden. Anyway, I miss Steve too. and it isn't fair.

 

[Ladybird]

Anyway, I miss Steve too. and it isn't fair.

No, it doesn't seem fair. But have a look at the poem I posted when we heard that he'd died.
We're all feeling sorry for ourselves, because of OUR loss. If you believe in another life after this, then you'll know that Steve is ok. He still lives, just in another form and in another place. So feel sorry for yourself, as you have a right to do, but not for Steve.

Big huggs for you my friend, I can feel your pain and wish I could help make it better.
