"du hast einen vogel" and "dir brennt der hut" is quite similar, yeah

We say- 'You're barmy', 'You're a nutjob', 'You are one sandwich short of a picnic', 'The lights are on, but no-one is at home',.

Or more recently 'You're Heather Mills' :twisted:

The dialect in the West Midlands ? :lol:

Think Ozzy Osbourne. He's from Aston, in Birmingham. The standard West Midlands accent is the Birmingham one, known as aBrummie accent, but the strength of it varies between Birmingham and the Black Country (South Staffs). Some phrases:

It's bostin'- It's great
It's bosted- It's broken
Ar- Yes
Nah!- No
Where yoo gooin'? - Where are you going ?
Hark at that !- Listen to that!
Goo and wash ya donnies- Go and wash your hands


I just realised, poor Dan, we've off topic'd his off topic thread beyond recognition :oops:

i especially like "ar!" for "yes!" :lol:

Sounds a lot like what we use...and a lot like what my girlfriend say to me We say in the same vein 'Don't play with a full deck of cards, do ya?' 'Few bricks shy of a full load, huh?' , 'Stairs don't go all the way up', and my favorite...'Came from the shallow end of the gene pool, that boy'
