@Dartk Shadow: no no, a regular cigarette, no joints (I don't like their smell)

Starbucks coffee (2 venti's each morning) and no food, although either my wife or I make a good breakfast for the kids. I love breakfast food for dinner. Lately my midnight snack is cream of wheat (made with milk), but I love a bacon and cheese omlet for dinner with some breakfast sausage on the side for dinner. One of my daughters always has leftovers from last night's dinner for breakfast. My other daughter and son like the regular breakfast stuff like chocolate cake, ice cream, tapioca pudding.... (they don't get that, believe me!)

@Santa; not meaning to alienate ya' but i'm a tea fan.

i don't really have much of an appetite but come hell or high water ( as the saying here goes ) i will not leave the house in the morn without a sweet cuppa' tea. of course i think the "sweet" element is the driving force --- i need's me sugar rush.

@zlo & shadow, on the subject of european slang perhaps we could start a crash course for beginners. i noticed the globe trotting bret bretonian recently asked us to "take a butchers" at a link he posted...how many of you knew that was cockney rhyming slang ---- butchers hook, a look

argh Tea is everywhere. On another thought Cockney rhyming slang is cool. The only part I can remember goes something like this

"Go to the fairy across the toad will ya?"

Yes, I do know what it means but do You?

What are you talking about?

*scratches head* huh?

Post Fri Dec 17, 2004 3:27 pm

I'm just guessing here but, the people that like tea a lot are from Europe right.

Tea and coffe CAN be eaten - in their dry form
I didn't count the European/American ratio for tea users, but somehow I think the choice does not really depend on the place of residence.

anyone recall the simpsons episode where marge tries to ask for a cup of tea in an aussie bar...gift!!!

@zlo, sounds simply delightful

@darkov, stopped believing in santy have we---anyhooo, hows about this...

got home at 8 bells and dug into a steamin' ruby murray. sat down to a nice cuppa rosey lee, then went up the apples and pears to get ready for a night on the tiles. lookin' a bit rough i wahsed the boat race, the gregory peck and had a dig in the grave, before puttin on me best tin-'o'-fruit with a nice white dickey dirt. called for a joe maxi on the dog and bone and made sure i had a few score in the sky rocket. her indoors was late as uaual though, she couldn' decide on the right pair of ones-n-tows.

I don't think I understood a word of that. Actually that's not true. I understood a whole bunch of individual words but the overall combination has me right puzzled.

what can we get a translator in please

Post Sun Dec 19, 2004 1:44 pm

@ code; gotchya at last

cockney rhyming slang inserts tow (or sometimes more in a phrase fashion) words to replace another, the two replacements must rhyme with the original. example --- boat race is face, gregory peck is neck. it is a bit likea local code language in a sense

part of the problem however is for example in dublin we might combine two words to make up another, but those two are specific to our area. eg: "a half yard" is slang for a gard (garda=police in irish gaelic).

the sample i wrote stayed with very traditional london slang:

i got home at 20.00hours and ate a hot curry. sat down to a nice cup of tea, then went up the stairs to get ready for a night on the city streets. looking a bit rough i wahsed the face, the neck and had a shave, before putting on my best suit with a nice white shirt. called for a taxi on the phone and made sure i had a few score (score in old imperial measurement is 20, few is 3, 3X20=€60)in the pocket. her indoors (the wife---she never goes out, chained to the sink) was late as uaual though, she couldn' decide on the right pair of shoes.

please make all contributions payable to Mr Druid, Newgrange Rath, Co. Meath, Ireland ---those cheques you sent c/o The Hill of Tara never made it to me but the High King was sighted with a nice new flint pick axe soon after.
