A couple of new ones for me. Words for dance and rain. Interesting to pick up the friendly banter between East and West. Lot of that when I worked in Glasgow and Edinburgh. But all in good fun. I like the Scots. Lovely people.

A nice wee video. Like Theo I’ve been down south far too long, but I loved hearing him use these so familiar expressions and I’m looking forward to using most of them in Edinburgh tomorrow. Mrs Vs says I always become more broad in my accent after spending any time back home. 😁

Mrs Vs says I always become more broad in my accent after spending any time back home. 😁 That’s really interesting. People who have largely lost their accents seem to find it again very quickly when they speak to people from that area. My mum lost her Yorkshire accent after many years in London but when back up north it magically came back. Same for my sons wife from Sheffield, she developed a posh London accent when in London but changed back in an instant when phoning home. Me, I’ve never got rid of my East London accent. Though in America people think I’m Australian. |

On the rare occasion l go back to Blighty to see f and f, Erin Doors says I go "native" quickly and she can't understand me when l bend her shell-like. So I ask "wasser matta wiv ya, you gone mutton or sumfing?
Seems perfectly clear to me.

Theo is such a likeable lad and a real character, a real one off and all round entertainer, both on and off the pitch !! I really hope he makes a good recovery from his ACL knee operation. When he is on form, its worth paying the entrance fee just to see him play, he always gives 100% and definitely my kind of player !!

We went to see the Os together for the first time in 2010 when Vs jr was 13. Os were 2 down after 20 minutes until Dean Cox scored a screamer right in front of us and the crowd went wild. Vs jr turned to me and said ‘Dad, I want to support Leyton Orient’. We bought 3 season tickets the next year and have been ST holders and supporters since |

Doesn't take much does it.At the start of the season you can see the young newcomers take a wide eyed look at the stadium as it comes into view at the top of the stairs entrance.
With me it that lovely feeling of being as one again with the O's and all my Orient friends.
