Sanity Test

[alannalynn]

I still don't understand baseball and it's the American "pasttime" yadda yadda yadda... so I guess I'm alright. Heck, I don't understand American football either. I just cheer when my team gets to the other side. ::)

[AndrewLee]

I can't watch sports. Any sports. I get SO BORED.

[el Nynaeve]

I used to watch baseball, stopped now. Cricket is far more entertaining and one of the only games in the world that incorporates tea and lunch breaks. :D

[Talya]

*nods* they are certainly civilised. Helping make the cricket teas was always fun ;D

 

I prefer rugby...those strapping lads scrumming down together... >.>

[alannalynn]

Really? tea and lunch breaks? I'm in!

 

^_^

 

Same here, Andrew. Though I actually find golf interesting. More interesting than baseball-- besides, the rules are simple: hit the ball into the hole. The end!

[el Nynaeve]

Ah rugby. Funny how everyone in this country goes on about the England football team (who are crap) and no one ever talks about the rugby or cricket teams (who are actually really good).

 

 

 

......Speaking of which, England men's cricket just thrashed Australia in the One Day Internationals, yeah!!!!

[Talya]

LOL, my boss at work so much the same thing about the Cricket...All the news was about what went wrong with England in South Africa...

 

Which remins me I think we should bring back those threads with the sporting pictures, I can't remember what we called them, I think you started them...we need those again.

[el Nynaeve]

I'll bring them back. ;D

[AndrewLee]

*snicker* For the scrumming? (Google'd that word too.)

[Talya]

We have some great words over her... ;D

 

Oh Yes Elli...that would be fantastic...Your joke has also given me an idea!

[alannalynn]

I heard on the radio while I was in Florida how Brits HATE how Americans have polluted the language. Though, it's even funnier (hehe, more funny) how a lot of the phrases actually came from there in the first place. And I say this with all kinds of love <3, I can't wait to get over to England when I study abroad my Junior year in college. :)

[el Nynaeve]

What really annoys Brits is when Americans tell us to speak English. I've had that before, it is quite infuriating actually.

[AndrewLee]

Oooh. I can understand why that'd tick you off.

[alannalynn]

Haha! Really? That's ridonkulous. I hate it when they say... we say we speak American. *calls name*

[el Nynaeve]

I wish Americans would learn the slang before coming to Britain as well. My mother once shouted something about a 'fanny' in the middle of a high street. I just wanted to crawl away and hide. :P

[AndrewLee]

LOL. That's terrible.

[el Nynaeve]

*eyes Andrew and wonders if he actually got it* :P :D

[alannalynn]

Oh Light! Wow, that's amazing. Sometimes things just slip though... we have to excuse language differences. ;D

[AndrewLee]

The wonders of google. I got it. :P

[el Nynaeve]

Just checking. ;D

 

Even worse was having to explain to my mother why she couldn't say that....*facepalm*

[alannalynn]

Yikes. My mom is very open minded, so I never really get embarrassed to tell her stuff. lol

 

Oh gosh, my fingers are getting tired I'm having trouble typing. I'm on here so much that Dah's IM has been blinking on the bottom of my screen for a full minute!

[Talya]

The best is when a Brit goe to the States and asks someone for a fag...

[el Nynaeve]

The best is when a Brit goe to the States and asks someone for a fag...

 

Omg, the looks on their faces. *rolls around laughing* We do it on purpose. ;D

[alannalynn]

I'm sure you do enjoy that! Poor Americans who don't get it...

[AndrewLee]

I love Brits! ;D
