Glad to join you. Hopefully it won't take me long to get the hang of things.

Hello pterapod and welcome to DB, there’s a fair few of you London “geezers” on here mate and I’m sure you’ll fit right in.

 

[BennyB]

We ain't all geezers in London you know

 

[spaghetti]

Welcome Pterapod, you must be a hell of a geezer!
But could someone please tell me what does "geezer" mean? It's not mentioned on my old trusty english dictionary...

 

[Spaniard]

A 'geezer' is a likely lad, likes a drink, likes the girls might be a bit naughty when it comes to the law. A lad's lad; For example, Del Boy in 'Only Fools and Horses'. Podge is a geezer.rofl

 

[Pastor]

It's like a dude: "that dude over there" or it can mean other things like "he's a bit of a geezer" that can mean he's an OK guy or he's a bit of a character

[Spaniard]

Ha, ha you norty girl. I suppose I might be, more like Rodney from Only Fools and Horses though.......rofl

 

[podge]

I sold a very expensive pair of shooting wellington boots to a bit of a geezer once, well in fact he was “a right geezer” I had a job to understand a word this guy said.
He wanted me to send this pair of boots to a hotel in London and at this point I thought to myself eye eye podge me old mate you’re going to get shafted here in a minute, until he gave me the address of this hotel in London. It just happened to be one of the Mayfair hotels and this “geezer” turned out to be the owner.

BennyB sorry about that I forgot that we also have a large contingent from the colonies there as well.roflrofl

 

[Spaniard]

Sounds like the plot to an episode of Only Fools and Horses! Mange tout Rodneyrofl

 

[podge]

Play it nice and cool Juan nice and cool….rofl

 

[Spaniard]

Ha, ha......Absolute classic mate! I will drink to that!!!

 

[Pastor]

rofl I never noticed that his drink was still in the glass before. I really need to get those on DVD

 

[pterapod]

Well I'm neither a geezer or a lad, and that's because I'm a girl. So I hope that settles the debate guys ;-)

Well how about that a “geezeret”!rofl
You’d be welcome here even if you were from Mars.

 

[pterapod]

Thanks. I am from Mars actually , I landed a few decades ago, in a place called Roswell during a spectacular light show that was choreographed to some primitive synthesiser music. Very Jarre, or maybe Tubular Bells... Mork and Mindy? The details are a bit vague in my memory these days. I have to say on reflection, that I DO prefer the blue planet to the red planet though. Hmmmmm.... thank you all for such a warm and humorous welcome.
