Well lad, tha sees I started t'thread with t'ironic bathtub of productivity and lakin' 'bout on t'internet.

afew were less than chuffed with the spectacle.

metavision thought afew were pulling legs.

afew were rightly shameful of his comment, but Sven got stuck in on his side.

Then you asked f'translation and I most kindly oblige...

Good to see someone who can talk proper.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

This is most exciting, because I have no idea what it means!  I was joking and hoping for translation too.

I have been to town this afternoon to the cinema and had a look at the gentleman who is playing James Bond.

good to see that I am as linguistically adept as many others here ;-)

Gerron wi'yer = Get on with you

-- which, in the context, meant that I was expressing doubt as to the veracity of Metatone's claim not to be wasting his time on Internet. I was saying something like "You're kidding".
