Farewell

[Terry Fied 0]

Well the bad news is I have been recalled by my Bishop my missionary work here is at an end.

 

However he has told I may return at the end of the season to commiserate with upon your relegation.

 

I’ve no doubt some will now show their inadequate command of the wonderful English language.

 

I know through my many friends who have sons at Gresham’s and the excellent Norwich School that there is intelligence, civilization and wit in Norfolk unfortunately not in much evidence on this forum.

Well done Terry,

I am glad that you have been able to borrow a book on Norfolk dialect/accent from your local library.

Why dont you try to think of something for yourself next time.

Try WH Smith in Ipswich for a similar work on Suffolk accents/dialects.

We have a funny accent.

You have a funny accent.

Get over it.

I work in Suffolks county town on a regular basis and this is what I have picked up.

Ipswich people add an extra syllable to many words.

ie  Ipswich TOW-EN  

I use the TELEPHO-WEN

I dialled NIY-EN NIY-EN NIY-EN.

They also sing instead of speaking as in  Howw  yooo  gittin on boyee.

As for intelligence.

Congratulations to Suffolk on getting a university at last (albeit a branch of UEA & Essex)

Is it any coincidence that Suffolk is the LAST county to get a uni?

Anyway Terry, I am pleased for you that you are leaving school.

Good luck as a grown up.

I think you''ll find that in the rest of the UK, outside of ''so fick'', the word ''you'' would be used after the word ''with'' in the first sentence.

But then you are from so fick, innit geezer, gawd blimey my old man''s a dustman

Terry, you forgot Bee un Koo (B & Q).  Glad to see you are so interested in our dialect though.  I hope farewell means exactly that and you never visit this site again you binner p*!;k

Don''t worry friends, I do believe Mr Fied has just borrowed a certain web page a friend of mine alerted me to:

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Norwich

Its actually very, very funny.  However the Ipswich page from our Canary eyes is even funnier and will make you forget the name Terry Fied forever!  And will also make you forget the current position of us needing 101 new players! (for 5mins).

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Ipswich

Happy reading!

First off your Bishop isn''t based in Ipswich is he?  You don''t have a Cathedral do you?  He''s based in Bury St Edmunds which does have one.  Bishops equal Cathedrals.   Try B equals C.

There are some really good dialect pages

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Norwich is the one you cribbed from but try this one for size:

If you''ve got to go to Division One (which we have) it''s a half decent way to go I think.

You gave us our only second clean sheet of the season for which many thanks.
