Is it just me.......

[ratty]

Or is time standing still this afternoon?

I am going up the shanter at 4 but the clock seems to be going backwards ffs!

[Mark]

it's true, the next 41 minutes are going seem like an eternity.

By the way, what's "the shanter" is it a river? A chimney? The ol' Kent road?

[dulwichmum]

It isn't somewhere rude - to do with Tollgate drive - please assure me Ratty?

Shanter "noun": Generic Portsmouth term for any ale house.

I am popping out for a quick shant - I am going to the pub for a beer.

I have been on the shant since 9 this morning - I am inebriated due to my desire to drink alcohol from an innapropriate time of the day.

I am totally shanted - blow me, I seem to have vomitted all over the cat again!

Does that make Portsmouth a shanty town? ho ho.

Actually I quite like that, a useful and flexible term. May have to purloin it if you don't mind ratty.

I'd need to use the terms Sherbert, Larry and Spandexed respectively to achieve your sentences

[Mark]

I'm going to head to a shanter in Clerkenwell shortly but will be up for a shant in ED later if anyone's around

[ratty]

Feel free Mockney! There are a few Portsmouth exiles in the ED area (and yes, we are all obese drug addicts!) so you may get some knowing looks when using the term, but as you point out, it can be used instead of 3 alternative words so it must be good!

13 mins until I am out of here for my particular shant! Rye Tavern Garden me thinks!

SHANT ON!

Yer all nothing but a load of dirty shanters.
