Funny! Now I'll try to translate THAT: "Those boys are cool, God love'em. They crack me up." Close?

Very good Jan! You get an A+

You must have some experience with folks from across the pond? Or else it makes more sense when it's written down, LOL!

Nope, no experience. It is easier written down - he does talk too fast for my Texan ears.
