Ah it's the UK. Anyone can arrive at any time and no one cares.

You know it's going to be a good day when you wake up and your eyes are stuck together.

It's an even better day if you see vegan ice cream for only two euros.

So, TET, life is a wonderful and beautiful thing.

Has anybody already translated the Torah into Cockney rhyming slang?

I'm not qualified.

I wonder if there's a universe where it's already been done, and by conceiving the premise here, I create a translatable path via which it could be accessed and expressed in our universe?

It seems like the sort of thing you would know about, so I'm willing to trust without full certainty.

That's faith. I have faith in you.

I dunno if its enough to Turn vampires away.

Probably, hopefully. I would love to see my friends reading a serious religious text in Cockney rhyming slang. It could be so wonderful.

Never use a cross with Jewish vampire, they also seem to like garlic as well.

I wonder if y9u could get Google translate to do it.

How similat is the Torah to the Old Testament of the Bible? I know they're fairly interlinked but I dunno if it's a 100% match or not.

Is it the first five books of the old Testament (presumably not translated in the same way as the King James old testament, I dunno)?

The xtains change around a few bits to make it seem like it presages Jesus, but the old testament you use is based on the Hebrew original, or hebrew/Aramaic spoken at the time.

In that case you could make a claim that the Torah is in fact in Cockney Rhyming Slang, as there is a CRS Bible.

Actually, I want to hear a room full of people say this without laughing. If it's possible.

Well that should come as a relief to Yagon, it's good to know he doesn't have to do all that work.

Instead of quarantine, we could call them "preserves".

And inflict crushing poverty and alcoholism on them.

That's how we do it where I'm from.
