Very off topic!! Bristol City

[Bellabelloo]

Hubby and two of my male larvae have spent the evening glued to the tv / radio ( depending on weather one has misbehaved ) it seems that the said team ( Bristol City) are through to some promotion play offs. Whilst i am happy to see the the male bonding thing,I do begrudge my tv schedules being interfered with !!!! . Hubby is now torn to between being really chuffed and then worried about how on earth he can afford to take himself plus two cherubs to support his team if they get promoted . I think I may take up knitting jumpers for axolotl.

Talk about a language barrier; I only understood about 30% of that!

Ahh, that explains why people are driving around honking their horns.

The English Language

1. The Americans and the British ... two peoples separated by a common language!

2. What is a Canadian? That's the person between the American and the Brit ... interpreting.

3. In the English language, the same word means different things to different english-speaking peoples. Take the word 'football' for instance.
If you say 'football' to your American friends, they visualise a game with an oblong ball, battled over by two groups of heavily armoured men engaged in bone-crushing tackles.
If you say 'football' to your British friends, they visualise a game with a round ball, battled over by two groups of nearly naked men trying to avoid being involved in bone-crushing tackles.
If you say 'football' to your Australian friends, they visualise a battle between two groups of nearly naked men happily engaged in bone-crushing tackles. And if there is a ball on the field, it does not seem to detract from the game!

Cheers and respects all;

Wes
No football, only hockey!

You understand us so very well Wes - Thanks for the giggle.
