Speaking of funny English dialects, I got the following message from
a guy in "yorkshire" in the guestbook on my website:
"nay lad, tha cant av nobbut wun shift i thi accent else toan i a longish
word. tha mun think abaht ah t' modern greeks a goin to meck luv.
ahll sithi."
(Apparently, he's referring to the Xena-Gilbert-and-Sullivan spoof
I had had posted on my website at the time:

took me a while to figure that out, though).
