I like twut - better than twet or twot too - but neither is as good as tw*t with an 'a'. I know that phrase as ' a face you could never tire of slapping' Hosta. I use it quite often. 'Face like a joiner's nailbag' is another popular one, although you need to use a Glesga accent to make it 'jiner's nailbag'. Do you think, bearing in mind the accessibility, and amount, of information nowadays, that future politicians will wise up and realise that most people aren't thick as sh*t and can see through all their billhooks ? doc - I heard them say this morning that Sheffield had more than a month's normal rainfall yesterday. You could send some to Obelixx - she's needing it. You could make a start on an ark for the winter though... Supposed to be better here today, but they forgot to tell the weather gods. It rained most of the morning, and was more like hailstones a little while ago, but it's brighter now. Just had my hedgehog food [biscuits] delivered. They seem to like it. I think they've given up on the sloe berries. Probably just as well....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

"Back in the day" I used to use AOL chatrooms and they brought in American Mods to replace volunterr UK Mods. It was fun seeing which words we could get away with using but they eventually caught on. " You can't use the word "feck", it's "disguised swearing" " I replied " In which case, presumably we're not longer allowed to use the words "bigger" and "cent" "?
One of OH's colleague's in Belgium was an American - highly educated, well-connected, well enough off to work because he enjoyed it, slightly prudish as they can be. He was sent to work on a contract in Burnley where, when some chap found a particularly elusive bug in a system, he said "Well I'll be buggered". It has a far more literal meaning in American English and our pal was shocked. 6 months in Lancashire rendered him a little less sensitive and more relaxed.
