Hello From My Englishness

[Polranny]

I can't really complain. Compared to the eight years that I lived in western New York state, Chicago winters are pretty easy. Average total snowfall here is three feet. In Buffalo, NY it's eight feet.

Let the bragging commence. No snow in Somerset but my neighbour has had a lorry load of tongue and groove delivered and is building an ark, is there something he knows that we dont?

No snow in my part of the world. Yet.

But, give it time....

Luckily I can quite easily work from home; if there's the slightest threat of having weather my local train service gets cancelled so the ability to remain indoors is a welcome one

Tongue and groove

My innuendo meter is going off.

Your innuendo meter goes off quite frequently ...

I fooking love snow. We get none here. Wish I lived in Whistler...

All this reminds me. A friend used to think that well known phrase for going at something hard was "hammer and tongues"... Even when we asked him to justify why it was tongues and not tongs (and we justified the blacksmith reference) he STILL wouldn't believe us...
I put that guy on a pedal stool! But he turned out to be a damp squid! (Please someone... Don't leave me hanging....)

As soon as I typed 4-8", I knew it was only a matter of time.
Your innuendo meter is on a hair trigger.

Snow is lovely for snowboarding. Not so much fun for commuting.

Sounds like, although you were champing at the bit to educate your friend, for all intensive purposes, he felt it was a mute point. I guess he believes that he has free reign over the English language.

You'll fooking need to work from home when Covonia virus kicks in

Coughs and sneezes spread diseases, trap your germs in a handkerchief.
THAT used to be the NHS mantra when I were a lad

Furthermore...corona was a fizzy drink!

 

[AngelicaS1780]

No get the I T crowd ref?

I am embarrassed to say that I missed it...the divorce trial episode.

 

[MrDevereaux]

Coughs and sneezes spread diseases, trap your germs in a handkerchief.

This is sound advice. And for when you sneeze too.

Any other appropriate slogans?
They don't make fookin ads like they used to

Amazin

Can anyone remember "its amazin what raisins can do" ?

So far, I'm on my own, if I hadn't found it on the tinternet I'd think I dreamed it.

 

[londoner2]

Clunk click every trip!

I'm sure someone 'famous' fronted that campaign. What was his name now (hehe)

I was going to say Robert Mark the Police Commissioner but he did "I'm convinced they're a major contribution to road safety"- and then I remembered....

I do!

Just arrived in a France, on my way to Corona-land, aka Italy. That is if they haven't closed the border by the time we get there!

I have never seen Eurotunnel so quiet. Perhaps seven or eight cars at the terminal.

Only raisin advert I remember is the Californian Raisins one ...

I’ve heard that Viagra does a good raisin advert.

I definitely remember it. Was it to do with a bar of choc or maybe raisins
It's was sung, repeated

I see what you did there.

I really disliked those California raisin ads.

Yes it was, someone very kindly sent me the words to the jingle. It's an ear worm, can't get rid of it now

To getrid of the ear worm try sticking a sultana, currant or similar in each ear:: it might work - after all it's amazin' what raisins can do!
