I'm definately coming for tea at yours now

Oh actually make that supper

Emma

Go south of the boarder, and ask an American what they are doing on Boxing Day You get some very strange looks!!!

And oh, By the way, NEVER EVER ask some one to bring you back a pack of fags

MAGIC

Had a very good laugh at this one!

That's one to keep locked away in the old grey matter for future reference.

I'm just happy that most provinces keep the U in Colour 'n' stuff. I am not to happy with the spelling for Mum though (MOM). Depends where you go in canada though. Go out to newfoundland and the older people tend to do things the way we do except the younger people want to say Ass instead of Arse. In fact I have been surprised to hear some British friends from up north (Birmingham upwards) say words like Mom and Ass. I was absolutly disgusted.

So yeah I get fed up with the term Soccer. I constantly remind my American friends that Football was invented 1707, same time as the act of Union. Oh well.

But yes it does depend where in Canada you go. I find that Ontario is more Americanised then most. People there tend to use a lot of American words and terms.

Oh yes I can can trump that one, (actually probably posted this before). My first job in Newfoundland was with a Seafood harvesting/processing company. Sitting down with the Purchasing Manager who reported to me and getting a handle on what she did (everything) I was astounded to learn that she had to order the duty free smokes for the crews of the offshore trawlers. 'You mean that you even have to buy the fags for the guys on the boats?!' I exclaimed. The look on her face was priceless..........

I truly hope this was written with tongue firmly in cheek.

Why so disgusted? My stepson routinely introduces Souvette and I to people as Mom & Ass.

I want to go to Quebec and ask for cheese rape.

LOL In our house it's "Dum and Mad"

I was going to describe you as well-weird. Then I read this.

LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea warned their fans on Friday against throwing celery during matches, saying it was a criminal offence and that anyone caught lobbing the popular salad vegetable could be banned. The unlikely warning follows referee reports which mention celery-throwing at two recent Chelsea matches and which are being investigated by the Football Association, the club said on its Web site.The FA's investigation could result in sanctions being taken against the club, who said "the throwing of anything at a football match, including celery, is a criminal offence for which you can be arrested and end up with a criminal record."In future, if anyone is found attempting to bring celery into Stamford Bridge they could be refused entry and anyone caught throwing celery will face a ban."The club also urged fans who spot anyone throwing celery in the stadium to call a telephone number, adding that "all calls will be treated in confidence." Though apparently a growing problem with it landing on the pitch, Chelsea fans have been throwing celery among themselves, and singing an unprintable song about the vegetable, for more than two decades.

They are well known for their celery, but i strongly suspect it is the closet Chelsea fans come to their five portions of fruit and veg a day

...... and if you are a smoker and have none on you, NEVER ask if you can bum a fag

Good to know it could have been worse!

I understand fanny doesn't get the laughs here that it does there.
