Why anyone would want to say anything about those horrible biscuits I really don't know... I prefer chocolate Bourbons and Garibaldis. Dynastic ruling families make better biscuits (cookies) than towns. Who else has heard of Shrewsbury Biscuits? LTS |

09 Feb 05 - 04:43 PM (#1403742) Subject: RE: BS: I was going to say something nice From: 42 The word "nice" is used so often it has no meaning. Can no one speak in specific terms anymore? It seems so lazy and casual to use "nice" when the english language (and other languages as well) are crammed to the gunwales with descriptive and beautiful words which actually mean something. I tried to say something nice once but failed miserably. I do, however, manage to speak a kind word here and there. jen |

I also agree with Martin on the Limey thing. Totally appropriate to the thread and humorous too. Fecking Limeys!!! Useless sodding gits, the lot of them! |

10 Feb 05 - 08:17 AM (#1404415) Subject: RE: BS: I was going to say something nice From: hilda fish No. No. It's octuPIED as in pied-a-terre \pee-ay-duh-TAIR; pyay-dah-TAIR\, noun; plural pieds-a-terre \pee-ay-duh-TAIR; pyay-dah-TAIR\: A temporary or second place of lodging. Which reminds me. I was listening to my radio on the way home from work today and I heard a news item which said a bunch of Chinese road workers dismantled about 100 metres of the Great Wall of China to use on the road they were building and that this had happened before when a road crew dismantled about 500 metres of the Wall for the same purpose. I couldn't stop laughing. Them road workers don't let anything get in the way of completing the job. They are certainly octupied and testiculated. Noice, ruly noice. Don't let national icons get in the way of a job done noicely. Did anyone else hear that news item and laugh? |
