'Looks like the splis is gone, yeah the splis is gone'

Ok, I smack the wall in GTR demo and my pit dude over the radio says this. What the heck is a 'splis' or what is he saying?

Ok, so for us non-British or non-Australian folk, what's a splitter? The tire?

The other part is a sadistic Brit that is hoping they go in the other direction, the idea of non-British simracers trying to work out what the hell "Bleedin 'enry! You've totally royalled that one up ain't ya?" means makes me chuckle. :) ACD.

Ahhh but remember, the true RAS Cognicenti is well schooled in the artful expression of Pythonese and thus we will be well and truly able to dicipher any blathering from the lower class's dialects. James Bond movies taught me long ago how almost each major British city has it's own accent...I can't tell you which accent matches which city (except for Liverpool of course) but I can often match up too chaps... i.e. Brit Actor A comes from the same area as Brit actor B based on their similar brit twangs. dave henrie

Wellll no...but that is interesting. Twang kinda refers to the Southern USA accent I guess. The long drawn out sylables. Cowboy speak might be a good way to describe...now, let's get back to those identical thingies.... dave henrie
