Hijacker

[Gruffudd]

Sometimes I change the course of a conversation or hijack it by picking up on a minor detail and going off in a whole new direction. I might need an outlet for my habit. So the rules are, you can join in the conversation by taking it in a whole new direction or saying something that just doesn't follow on. Remember that we are not being serious...

I must say I wonder when I see measurement in metres and kilometres if others realise that they are a consequence of the French revolution.

This is a great and very original thread..Love It!

Rob has this spot on....Color should be Color...not Colour...Aussies spell it the wrong way....the French way...

[Gruffudd]

Oh dear, that is prodding my one great prejudice. Words emaciated by the lacking of the u and s being transubstantiated into a z... Americans...

[blondguy]

Hi Rob

I have transubstantiated a couple of Aussie words that have been derived from the French (with all respect to the Renault's of course)

* Centre.....the spelling is right...as in Aussie...but it still should be Center...

* Flavour is also correctly spelled except for the 'U'...It came from the French...

I Love playing ping pong with you.....(I just spent too long in Canada when I was younger so my spelling is all screwed up lol)...Australians...

[Gruffudd]

Australia is not right. It should be Awstralia. My spelling is multilingual. Dwi wedi blino - I'm tired. Perhaps before 2 am I will be sleeping.

[blondguy]

You are a legend Rob....I totally concur ....it is Awstralia..Nice1

Nice..um is there an Arnotts biscuit that is called "nice". Does it have sugar on top of it?

[topsy_]

Yes there is. You'll have to feed it to your nieces & nephews.

[Gruffudd]

I am in the process of feeding myself dinner. There goes the oven timer just like the bell and the dog of Pavlov.

Hmmm, Pavlov.

Mmmm, Pavlova.

With cream, strawberries, kiwi fruit & passionfruit.
