Sloes are the fruit of the Blackthorn bush and are similar to damsons - but smaller and more bitter
Cockneys are East Enders (London) born within the sound of the bells of St Mary-le-Bow. These are the people who supposedly originate the rhyming slang. I put a post up a while ago full of rhyming slang just for CG who is an unashamed Anglophile

dog and bone = phone
plates of meat = feet
and so on. It gets even more complicated, because they won't say "plates of meat", they just say "plates" and expect you to understand. They speak a lot of this sort of stuff on soaps like Eastenders in the UK.
Sloes are the berries from blackthorn hedges.
Old Hag Inn, huh? I didn't realise the Royal Bar had a name... or do you have another bar you frequent, ColeyYepp, it's blank down here.

I do the bean counting at the Old Hag.... with my trusty Abacus! Much more tactile than a calculator. It is important to keepthe senses stimulated at my age. Whilst at the Jester's age all sense has left. Apart from that of humour I hope - or I'm brown.....

I watched Prometheus yesterday - I think it is a great ep. Sam is just brilliant in it - well gotta keep on topic. Followed by Unnatural Selection. This was a great team ep - just the sort of ep I want the writers to get back to.

Speaking of Unnatural Selection, I've always wondered which memories the Replicators used against the other. I mean, we, as usual, saw Jack and Charlie, but what about Sam, Teal'c and Jonas ?
