h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

We do. We the people. By the way we use the language. The most democratic thing we know is the language. That's why the language changes all the time. You can't stop it. Just like you can't nail soup to a wall

True!

Many years ago before "world travel", language was "localised" as such.

Nowa word "you" read as!!! is actually "read" as something different
IE: Nestle () "we" had a name "we" used for years, but now it's pronounced different per,say

Bonus info: My father-in-law worked for Nestlé for many years constructing tools for manufacturing cans

I guess I can't spell it here on hootoo like the company does it but will more in s second when I've posted this

See? Told you so

if you where living here you would be crawling the roof top the roof tops its like being in a load of countries jimbob

Pierre.

I'll try to put (our) lingo

"we" used to say:- nest-elles, now we say nest- lay

Not sure if that comes over right ??

I have received my order of Snowdonia cheddar cheese flavoured with port and brandy. It is for my Boxing Day cheese board. I wonder if goat/sheep cheese and Stilton blue will be a good addition. The port and brandy cheese that I got is a speciality cheese that you cannot find being stocked at supermarkets.

I understand, Prof

I think most of us used to say NEST-le (stressing the first syllable)

But now we say nest-LAY

to be honest i cant remember ever lately even getting the milk they made it was nice and sweet as i remember

looks like christmas here is going to the dogs 4 days no lib and no buses over xmas at all and the t l c we have sunday isnt going to cover for new year part way so its walk into town or taxi lol jimbob

NOT being a Scrooge!
Xmas is just another day
IT only "works" when you have kids getting up TOO bloody early in the morning

I will celebrate with three grandkids on the 22nd but return home before nightfall

And then I will 'hermitize' myself until the 26th when there is traditional xmas jazz party in the theatre lobby

my birthday i was expecting rob ans family to call but didnt so if they call at xmas or not is a maybe jimbob

so mistake is kboards ggrrs

This time of yeareach and everyone of us has their own way of celebrating it etc

BUT! From me to you and your family/friends.
















Enjoy! and may 2025 bring good fortunes to you all
