My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Scouse is much better.

Sadly there is not a soul in the world who actually speaks it really anymore. Blame immigration, internal movements and American tv for that...

Re: Cockney: The Language of The Gods
The only cockney I remember is: bristols = titties. I learned it from my English teacher in High school.
Cockney, completly incomprehensible when your not a local. The best language there is.
Re: Cockney: The Language of The Gods
A dead language you say? Wasn't the Bible recently "translated" into Cockney?
Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, as lancelot said will give you some good/funny Cockney.

Most people from southeast England sound Cockneyish to us northerners, and I've even mistaken Aussies for Cockneys. Awful accent

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
