second fix (trim carpentry) madness ?

just to deliberatly confuse matters  ;D

i live in a two storey house (not a bungalow) but it only has a ground floor and a first floor
 
Oh? Ok.

Lets talk about the English's prodigious use of the letter E.

I have a theory, a theory I might add contrived by to much forced

viewing of Master Piece Theater after tea with Mum.

That's a lie, more like to much Monty Python.

What ever, DD just so you know, I used to have a great Aunt who called Bath home.

She sent me lots of books. That is germane here because as a lad I struggled with

your version of  English grammar and when I thought I was smart and wrote it that way in my

school papers I was labeled incorrigible. Not to worry, same teacher told me there was no such place

as the Kalahari desert. But I digress.

The extra E thing.

You guys ever hear yourselves?

Two guys in a pub.

E did what?
Ell, E did wha E 'ad to
E beat err then?
I, E did.
I, eel be up da tems wif out a paddle, E will.

You see where this is going?  You guys can't live with out abusing that E.

Is it because its the first letter in England?

I will leave that answer for stronger minds.

Might even be Edwardian.

Anyway, feel free to pass this info on to the Queens ministry of the letter E

noting that its just one more reason for you guys not to adopt the Euro.

Eeeeeeeee, did you hear that murrican geeza Per ?

Eee i did

do you think E's taking the piss out of us ?

Eee you could be right there

oh, E's a right cheeky monkey

anyway....... do murricans have geeza's ?

no............ its got too many e's in it for a murrican

Ere, is that an empty glass

Eee, it is

then get some Euros out of your wallet,  its your round geez    ;)

 
Me mither 'ad a tile on 'er ki'chn wall.

On it were the wurds:

Life ain't all ya wants
but its all ya gots

Tinker  (In Ireland, an I b'leve in England the same may be true, "a Tinkerrr is nothin butt a bumm"  >>> told to me many moons ago by a high school principal who happened to be from Ireland)

Man -- the French are weird (I should know, I have a good bit of he Frog genes swimming through my veins)---- do you guys really eat that much roast beef ?  And why is that an insult?  Mon dieu !    :D

Justin
 
no the french never make sense

our national dish is chicken tikka masala

and we've exported it to india

the french see it as an insult because they believe, incorrectly, that we always cook the beef to within an inch of hell
 
Oh here we go...

I pile on the English.

The English Pile on the French.

We all pile on the French.

First let me point out to those here who might not be aware..DD ain't kidding.

Today in France there is a movement dedicated to restoring the "purity" of the French language by removing foreign words

from the vocabulary, such as microchip and hamburger. The French language is also spoken in the Canadian province of

Quebec, French Guiana, Madagascar, Haiti, Indochina, N.W. Africa and parts of Belgium and Switzerland, and is a popular

second language choice in the United States, after Spanish.

Sounds stoopid  No? Like something even the Poles

wouldn't consider. This 100% Nationalistic crap has gone on for years, everywhere.

Quebec and Montreal (we are coming for your natural resources shortly) has yapped the chit for years

At least here in the land of the Free the Home, of the brave,"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Thanks Emma, we would never ever consider doing something

as blatantly stoopid as that.

Never mind the nationalism though, the real issue here is

Boiling meat is not cooking.

Ok DD?  Anything but that topic, as you will have more in your mouth besides food. ;D

Per
 
its ok per, im VERY good at foot in mouth

im also a world expert in digging holes for myself (without the need for a JCB)

just to proove it....................

whats this boiling meat job?    ;D
 
of course that well known dish

the hot dog

isnt boiled

is it.....................................  ?    ;)
 
Only when purchased from a silly little cart with the world Famous umbrella seen in every movie filmed in NYC.

And they are referred to as dirty water dogs.

The rest of Murrica nukes em. ;D

We do like our English Muffins though.

I see the bloke who coined the phrase actually started here in 1902

Well crumpets then, I'll give you that. ;D

John,

About half way through this thread devolved into what we have today.

I think DD is more perceptive than us all. ::)

Per
 
I agree, but it doesn't mean we lose the right to try.

And Per, I hope you aren't really trashing the durty dogs from the sidewalk vendors of NYC...they are the best. chili, onion, mustard, chopped onions, sauerkraut. 4 or 5 of them and a grape soda...using the old, dirty towel to wipe the wet end of the soda can...ah sweet mems....and then to list  it as a business lunch for $43.
 
Heck No

My cousin has a wagon out in Belvidere.

I want it!

Right location, right bikini clad vendor,

I would never have to hear "so can ya do better?" again.

I read a great quote over on JLC today.
"Can you do it for less?"
