You don't happen to call boat Fenders Bumpers too do you?

No, they're fenders.

Hey Terry, just curious, what does an American accent sound like to you? Try to describe it.

C'mon Terry, ::) If I am at the bottom looking up, is what I should have said. And I went on a teaching course and was told to be careful that what I said could not be misconstrued. :-[

Easy to describe.

It sounds similar to Canadian.

 But with a country of half a billion people, spread over thousands of miles in all directions, there are lots of variations.

You're asking the wrong person, really. With an American wife, I don't really notice the accent after eight years of living together.

We just had the coldest winter for 30-40 years.

Previously we had the wettest summer ever. For here that is WET.

Global warming? Hah!

Terry, global warming creates extremes, that is the part that some people don't understand, it is mis-named TBH. We have had the coldest winters, and the hottest summers.

Sounds like she missed you a lot. Not surprising if she'd never met you. That's a total miss!  ;)

Poor old soul. Be kind, though.

When you look at some drooling, demented older person, picture them as a child of five, playing happily, without a care in the world. Maybe climbing a tree and laughing. Maybe riding their bicycle round the park. Then remember when you were that age and the good times you had, like that. Then look at your own future...

I have absolutely no idea what that is? A freak show of some sort?

Truly, no idea.

When Some one first told me about Cirque Du Soleil that was the way they first described it to me! :lol:

It's the sensation that is sweeping the nation in America. It started in Montreal and thus it totally French and I heard that the people of the UK think it is the worst thing to happen to the earth sense OzzFest! ;D


Personally I love them!!! :lol:
