Oh, dear something (eg.a fly) has landed in my food. Dang.

That definitely throws the spanner in the works.

That's screwed that plan up/that has ruined that.

That guy is crazy

He'd better gimme another crumpling bugger all, else id be cheesed off.

I better get some more food (eg. a crumpet) or I will be very annoyed.

:biggrin:

Interesting. According to the online British slang dictionary I used, a "crusty dragon" registered as a booger. :biggrin:

I think that's the only one I didn't know :wink:

But of course, us southerners have a much more sophisticated vocabulary, tentatively venturing to use sesquipedalian colloquialism whenever in the propinquity of educated discourse.

If you catch my drift.

What an absurd suggestion. Educated man, educated!

jimmy_p: Born in Essex (I am not proud of my heritage), raised near Cambridge and University in London - Kensington you know. I think that would put me safely in the 'soft southerner' category.

Oh, rather. Top hole to that one old bean. My humble abode is set up in a very soft and Southern most area of good old Blighty. Southampton doncha know!

Southampton eh? A splendid part of the world if you don't mind my saying so. I have a veritably sound aquaintance who originates from a vicinity not far from there and I must confess that they are most agreeable.

Uh, well, as long as it doesn’t taste like fish! :biggrin:

I'm not sure about the night of Ouzo and Greek dancing any time soon. Our nephew - -Tsu's sister's kid - was just stationed in Honolulu [military] and Tsu has been scrutinizing our Air Miles account with a magnifying glass ever since. So far, it looks like they will drop her off somewhere about 500 miles short of Hawaii! :eek:
