English translation needed

osirus2020 · 08-17-2010, 06:42 PM

Had a customer today, told me to try and bear with his English. Then he identified a jet from the ground and told me he was a plane spotter, "never as a job though".

I get the idea, but he said "cheers" before he left. How am I supposed to respond to this?

Shoot him in the face.

osirus2020 · 08-17-2010, 06:58 PM

You say no worries. Cheers is the same as thanks.

This is the bit I don't understand. Am I being very dense?

Hobby? That's how my brain took it to mean anyways.

No, to be honest it was just peculiar. The other part you quoted was a different thought entirely. I was stoned when I typed it so hey...

I like suggestions #1 and #2.
