PGP....oh, we look so beautiful tonight!

[love2bmama]

lollies...does that mean candy, or like, lollipops?
Jafas sound good, mmmmm

 

[Sad_Girl]

They're lollies.....orange flavoured chocolate balls covered in a candy shell......

 

[love2bmama]

Probably couldn't post them here, anyway


I had a dream the other night that amongst all of the changes being made around here, the PGP became and 18 + thread like Mr Pussy's

can you imagine? I don't think I need it get any more adult than it already gets here, lol!!

 

[Gluey]

We even have a street race with them...... We're not really weird here in NZ!!!

So, they're little candies? sort of like M&M's or Reeses Pieces or something?

and in this race, you roll them down the street?

cuz when you say Lolly I think of hard candy on a stick

Yeah I guess you would call them candies....to us any sweets are just lollies.....we don't call them candy.

here's a link showing our dedication to the annual street race.....

P.S.....Jaffa = the lolly
Jafa = our nickname for anyone from Auckland (Just Another F@#kin Aucklander )

 

[love2bmama]

that makes sense, Gluey...Ali's always talking about the lolly man, and I thought they were just really crazy about their suckers, lol!

 

[love2bmama]

[love2bmama]

hey Kaf!

 

[Sad_Girl]

it's funny how we all speak English, but some words are so different

like the difference between my idea of what 'Biscuits' are - TOTALLY diffferent from what a 'Biscuit' is in England

 

[Gluey]

speaking of Ali, isn't it wakey-wakey time in Oz yet?

Well Oz is about 2+ hrs behind NZ (depending on what part of OZ you're in)....so yep, she should be well and truly awake because it's 1.17pm here

And chips has totally different meanings too!! Chips for us are hot chips AND what I understand you call crisps.....

 

[love2bmama]

I used to read British books as a child and I could never figure out why the kids in the books would eat chocolate biscuits

makes more sense now that I know they are cookies!

 

[Gluey]

Hi Kaf!

 

[Drea]

Does the Stampede start this weekend?

 

[love2bmama]

And chips has totally different meanings too!! Chips for us are hot chips AND what I understand you call crisps.....

what they call crisps in England we call chips, what they call chips we call fries, lol. What are hot chips?

this is fascinating...

 

[Sad_Girl]

we don't call ANYTHING crisps

 

[Gluey]

I used to read British books as a child and I could never figure out why the kids in the books would each chocolate biscuits

makes more sense now that I know they are cookies!

So what are biscuits to you??

It's like yesterday when Mot was talking about Grit....that's bird roughage over here!!!

 

[Gluey]

we don't call ANYTHING crisps

It's all so confusing!!!

 

[kafrun]

Hi Gluey, darling

Does the Stampede start this weekend?

Yep! This city is packed and it looks like it's gonna be one big party for the next 10 days Now I *definitely* know I'm out west :clingstoCNTower:

 

[love2bmama]

nice new avi, SG, by the way!

 

[Sad_Girl]

Biscuits are a sort-of doughy bread, usually eaten with a salty gravy; either chicken gravy or Sausage

 

[Gluey]

what they call crisps in England we call chips, what they call chips we call fries, lol. What are hot chips?

Ahh so it's the English that call them crisps!

Hot chips must be the same as your fries then.....(Thinking of McDonalds asking "Would you like fries with that?" )

 

[love2bmama]

So what are biscuits to you??

It's like yesterday when Mot was talking about Grit....that's bird roughage over here!!!

biscuits are kind of like dinner rolls, I guess? Bready, not sweet.

And there's grit and then theres grits, not the same thing, lol!

 

[Drea]

Poor Kaf... well, at least there's a good chance of a hot cowboy or ten

 

[love2bmama]

so gluey, at mcdonald's, do you order hot chips then?

 

[Gluey]

Biscuits are a sort-of doughy bread, usually eaten with a salty gravy; either chicken gravy or Sausage

Flat like bread or like rolls? Or maybe scones?


This is really intriguing!!!

If ever I visit the States I have to make sure I know what I'm ordering!!
