True...but the only one who uses it is you...and since you're NOT coming to Wembley...I will have no chance of having intelligent conversation including "poor" with anybody...

duke knooby 15 May 2007 22:44

Not if I get you first, my record for hugging is 4 hours non-stop with the same person - and it's not my husband :shock:

Unless you're talking about our financial status after we've been to the merchandise stands...

Sidewalks are pavements here!! Elevators are lifts and diapers are nappies but that one probably wont come up on your visit!!

mszee 15 May 2007 23:59

Claire...just ask Andy...he did meet me...

BUT...it is very easy to imagine me...I am EXACTLY the same in real life as I am here...so all those formal reserved UKers that are so brave on line just look at me with those BIG eyes....

And apartments are flats...

I did study British English in school...in fact, I couldn't understand a word when I first came here and the only thing I've watched was Benny Hill show cause I understood it...it's a slang that I have no clue about...
