Yes that is true though the f word does mean the same over here too. f*ggots pre date all of that though. They are basically like meatballs made from pork shoulder and liver. Never had them myself. The leading brand is "Mr Brain's Pork F*ggots"! they do not sound appetising but I bet they are quite tasty really.

A wise man once said don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes, that way when you judge him you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Quote from: Dawn Kellie on March 22, 2026, 12:54:13 PMIs there more?
I really enjoy this.
Im a big football (soccer) fan. My team is the Arsenal.
I also love words, and there meanings.
I forgot which founding father it was but he took out some of the unnecessary letters from words. Like in Europe colour to in the US color
Kellie, it is just "Arsenal" not "The Arsenal" in case you upset any gooners (Arsenal fans, you in fact)!

Me, I'm a mag (aka Magpie), a Newcastle United fan. We don't get a choice, we pop out the womb and are handed our black and white tops and scarfs! It is a dark dark day today as we lost at home to our arch rivals Sunderland. There will be tears in the pubs tonight!

For me at least when I think of pies I first think of fruit pies.

However it seems that in the UK perhaps the first thought are meat pies.

About the only pie with meat I ever think of are those small chicken pot pies.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

My apologies. I was concerned when Wagner retired.  However, except for today Arsenal is doing pretty good. I really want to see Arsenal play and hope to see them play live at some point. It's a bucket list item

Don't apologise to me Kellie! I couldn't care less ha ha! An arsenal fan might take exception to it is all!
As much as I didn't like Wenger (he was a moaner) he really knew how to set up a team, they were really dynamic back then.

Back to the subject at hand though....

He was, one of the greatest of all time.

Toilet or bathroom? you guys need to be more inventive! We have those as well but we can add netty, bog, khazi, thunderbox to name a few. I bet there will be more i can't think of.

Funny, I say both twelve hundred and one thousand two hundred. Think we say telephone numbers differntly too like saying double or trebble "O". Could be wrong on that though.

Apparently there are big differences in how the US says the time eg We would say half twelve whereas Americans use 12 thirty. We also use quarter past, quarter too and use "past" instead of "after" as in "it's 20 past two". We are also more likely to use a 24 hour clock.

We might say someone is in hospital but Americans say they are in THE hospital.

Because the USA only has one hospital I guess.

It only feels like we have on hospital when you go into the emergency room
