? Really? Directly means right away here, DREKKLY means when I get around to it. How confusing...

No use us giving you advice Pat, you are more knowledgeable than most of us and you know the drill. I hope you are wrong and that Darius isn't sick. After all the loving care you have given him he should be in the best of health. Please keep us informed.

Wow Bernie, impressive! I can feel the karma going your way

I guess as it gets closer to Christmas we are all going to be more busy and will probably be on here only when we can grab a little bit of "me" time. I have missed seeing Jude this week, I guess she has been busy at work and although I've had a quiet week work-wise it has been hectic in other ways so I've not been on much either. BTW, the snow-covered house below is how I imagine Judy's house to be. :laugh:<br><br>Post edited by: Joolesgreyuk, at: 2009/12/05 14:23

I thought I'd catch you out with that one Janet, DREKKLY actually means "later, when I get around to it" but to be fair most Brits wouldn't know that either, it is pure westcountry speak lol. Hit me with another americanism!

These are good examples Janet, are they extreme examples of Americanisms? :whistle: :laugh: Now let me see. dishevelled/old and in need of modernising? Let me try an English one on you...oh this is a real Janner one lol: "I'll be around DREKKLY"

Boots/shoes?

DOH! I'm sorry I said "make it difficult" already :laugh: Erm = Policies are crap?

Oh Janet, Janet you make my head hurt lol!

Think it's time for a new game. I'm always facinated by different words and phrases the Americans/Canadians have for our English words soooo the object of this game is for the Americans/rest of the world (English language only please ;-)) to post one of their words or phrases and a Brit/European tries to translate it. Obviously the American team ;-) must challenge us rather than the other way around. Anyone interested in starting this game off? ie. sidewalk = pavement. This is an easy example, try to make it a little more difficult if possible. ;-)

An onion?

Theres a land where theres mummies and daddies but no babies. Books but no libraries. Mirrors but no reflections. Kittens but no cats. Cattle but no cows. Lollipops but no candy and trees but no forests. Its the land of what?

Like Jill, I've never seen these machines, what a great idea and your taste tester seems to agree.

hmm I give up Janet

He could take the corn first. then the fox and the chicken last.

Thanks Lyn for keeping us up-to-date with Alfie's health check. Good to hear she is well with no probs. B)

a waterfall?

A secret?

Bernie you are an exhibitionist! :laugh:

I am 8 letter but only have one letter, what am I?

:ohmy: Oh no Caroline! Parrot pie for dinner tonight then :laugh: Couldn't remember the name of this thread but I asked you somewhere else the other day if it was all finished, bet it looks (looked ) lovely. Pics please ehem!?

Bernie, your signatures are like the Blackpool illuminations :laugh: I would also like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & A Happy & healthy 2010.

Pat, he is gorgeous. You are so lucky having the two macaws but they must mean loads of work for you, a labour of love eh?. Those toys are pretty impressive, I hope your guys appreciate your toy-making skills. B)

A conversation?

He's a hahns macaw Pat lol.
