Folks

As long as I've been reading about African cartridges and ammo, I'm embarassed enough to say I don't know how to 'sound it out' / correctly pronounce the above-mentioned names.

Help?

My guess is Ellie Kynock

I think the Brits say "kai'-nock"

BNagel,

Have spent much time with Brits and colonials and believe Steve is right: "Kynoch" is kai'-nock and "Eley" is ee'-lee. Both accent the first syllable.

Regards, Tim

To say it like the Brits you need to put a plum in your mouth first.

A sour plum, that should be.

Or a quite hot small potato!

Harrrumph........ Bloody colonials!

The raaain in spaain fallls maainly on the plaain

The rain in spain falls much less than we would like. Plain or mountain but.... who cares.We can hunt nearlly all year round

Or in modern UK accents: Ve Wowh'er in Majouka, don't tayst like wot it owher.

Ah well, at least it proves English is still a living language and as Churchill (at least, I think it was Churchill) once said about the British and the Americans. - "Two nations divided by a common language)

Steve,

You know why the sun would never set on the British Empire ?

Because God would not trust an Englishman in the Dark

De La Rey De La Rey sal jy ....................

Pumbarfu Ka-boerer!

Which for you non Swahili speakers means fuc**ng Afrikaaners!

I guess I should have seen those two coming!

I used to hunt with a English PH in Zambia, who took great pleasure in telling me derogatory jokes about the Irish! He thought it was funny as hell, because my sir name is McCartney! Bloody limy twat!

That sucker could see a flea on an elephant's butt at a mile, and hit it with a 375 H&H, however! Even the English are OK after they spend a few years in Africa! WHOT!

Taking the piss piss out of the Irish is, quite rightly, a national pastime in the UK.........

Actually, thinking about it, isn't taking the piss out of the Irish an international pastime in most other parts of the world as well?

Y'all are too, too much (what-what).

Thanks awfully, old beans! You complete me...

Seems so! John Taylor is a fine example seems most like to giggle at him. However he could hold his own in a donnibrook, if the books on him are to be believed! He may have been Gay, but there was no lace on his panties when it came to a scrap!

If there's two things the Paddies are good at, it's drinkin' n fightin'.

Actually, I enjoy the Irish. They're always really good company and always have a great sense of humour..........but I guess they need a good sense of humour with all thoae people taking the piss out of 'em.
