Eeek! My Lounge!

[Kitiara]

Is being destroyed! :stunned:

Well, not totally... I'm extending my kitchen a bit since the lounge is so huge, and as I type, right now large hammers are being applied to the walls.

This is what it looked like before:

Lovely, huh? Well this is what it looks like now:

And part of the pile of wreckage that's now residing in my garden:

[eilsoe]

[BadMagick]

WOOO! You have a football (soccerball) in the back yard!! :)

[andr.in]

oh I love the clock on the wall! Better take that off the wall b4 it gets damaged or sth... ;)

Yup, got a football in the garden, something for me to kick around in moments of stress... :P

The whole place is filled with dust now though... :sure: Time to hoover methinks.

[awligon]

Is a lounge a livingroom?

[reverendflash]

yup...

lounge=livingroom
football=soccer
garden=yard
hoover=vacuum

crazy Brits

*lol*... Sounds like fun... Destruction is fun indeed... :-|

[awligon]

Hey kit,
if you're walking down the street and telling your girlfriend about something you did, do you say "My mate and I were at the pub and came back home and he passed out in the lounge?" or do you just use all the brit slang on the forum?

[ribcage]

Nothing quite like the devastatingly disruptive nature of some simple renovation. you will be dusting plaster off the walls till the end of the month.
I had a toilet in my yard for weeks right next to the grill , pretty picture for the neighbors.
Congratz, and good luck homeowner.

Yup, sounds about right.

What you'll find odder is that fathers often get cought calling their daughters mate too...

Thing is, it's not really slang over here, it's normal... Well, we say either 'lounge' or 'living room', doesn't matter but it means the same thing. We don't say 'washroom', we say 'bathroom' (or various other euphemisms). All my friends I tend to call 'mate', doesn't matter if they're girls or blokes (Asphalt will probably back me up on this :) ).

I say 'bloke' a lot too. :sure:

Also 'cheers', as in 'thank you'. :P

[BadMagick]

hehehe ... 'Bloke' ... hehehe :)

I only kid!

[awligon]

it's funny how a language can be so funny when it's the same language. I'm teaching this african guy from gineau to read and write english and some of the things he says are funny although, by definition, it's correct. :-\

[reverendflash]

my g/f is from Jamaica... who moved to Queens, NY

she has some real weird combinations...

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif

[Marz]

Interesting indeed.. Bloke is such a funny word though... Sya it outloud.

[reverendflash]

they are weird.

they wear their "pants" under their trousers...

Revhttp://aulman.com/rev.gif

[awligon]

I'm glad you're back to the Rev. The countdown freaked me out and phil was the ghost of tom joad or something and jubba's still not back and it was stressful for me. ;)

[kirupa]

Wow...I just said "bloke" out loud, and that has to be one of the funniest words I have ever heard myself say. Though I still think Eastaboga is the funniest word spoken or written :)

[awligon]

mum scares me but I believe I would fall out if I ever saw kit introduce someone as her mate. National Talk like a Pirate day was september 19th. Give it up. :beam: ;)

[andr.in]

ummm... how is that guy in yellow gonna get out of that closed corner? :P

How does mum scare you? Arrr there be other countries that speak like that ye know? ;)

I would just like to add Australians talk exactly the same but all with the amazing and astonishing energy and excitement of Steve Irwin. :P Oh and good luck with the renovations. :)

ummm... how is that guy in yellow gonna get out of that closed corner? It looks a closed corner from this angle, but it's not. :) You see the sticking out piece of wall that the clock is hanging on? That's actually a biiiig cupboard into the kitchen, so he can climb out through that. :)

[Phat7]

You're so cute in that picture :)

[Kitiara]

What? Eh?!? :stunned: I'm not in any of them (since I was behind the camera. ;) )

[Phat7]

Couldn't have been said better ;)

[AnOraK]

and not even a bit of builders bum in sight...

=O)

your lounge looks very posh kit old girl?

the JD is a nice touch too :)

[Kitiara]

Why thank you. :beam: Wouldn't say it was 'posh', more... 'modern'. :) Ah, who am I kidding? It's 'Ikea'. :P

The fireplace was taking on the look of an altar to JD in the end... There's the alarm clock, the bottles, one of those woolly beer mats, some cardboard beermats, shot glasses, playing cards...

[eilsoe]

wut about dice?

karmasutra dice!! :P

[Kitiara]

I must have missed those... :P

[Phat7]

Your lounge fully qualifies for becoming a Hollywood movie set :thumb:
