We spell it "peg" over here and save four letters for more specific words, ask Dr. Ruth, her favorite starts with a 'P" and is five letters.

Nah, we speak Amurrican over here. We don't need extra letters in
our words like you do. I could never quite understand the need to
extend words like aluminum, color and flavor with all those extra,
unnecessary letters.

How dare you!! The land that gave Shakespeare, Byron, Bronte, Kipling, Churchill and Miss Yeti Goosecreature to the world and you colonials get hold of it and - 200 years later - turning to dust. What an insult..................LOL

Oh, you haven't seen cruel yet. Waking up with one of them
three-legged raptors chewing on your leg, now that's cruel ! I
haven't seen bird less than 18 feet tall in here...

Cheers from the great glaciation

You Rumanians have a lot to learn - in England we chew on the legs of birds at Christmas but they are NEVER allowed to chew on ours!

Yes, but if tired enough not to drag the good ol' boulder at the cave entrance (or taste brit humour, for that matter), you end up getting chewed...

And we don't have Christmas in here - but a good supply of pagan gods, though.

Fire is a good thing. We hadn't come across that yet, but I'd love to fry one of those birds.

Ok, enough with my ancient humour, I made a fool of myself, admitted.

OffopicT : we spell it "Romania". this would make us "Romanians".

No you didn't make a fool of yourself at all - it is as you say, just Brit humour and probably not funny at all anywhere else, but thanks for giving us some fun!

that current chap you have running things. I mean . . . really now.

Of course, you are to be credited with providing such folks as George Galloway, anyone who can publicly denounce someone as a "Drink-soaked former trostskyist popinjay" and not bust up laughing while doing it deserves at least a nod if not a handshake and smile

 

[Shutterbugin]

"Taking the Pi$$" means pretty much the same as 'pulling your leg'. Kidding, joking, etc.

See I know what it means, and Im a colonial (although I do hang out with blokes from England & Amsterdam - they have taught me alot of the strange sayings y'all Europeens say.

Not sure if you are actually praising my skills or not there Stan.
I hope you're not taking the P*

If you are referring to the bird's third leg what does "p* "
translate to, from my perspective you're one letter short.

Hehehe, even the British fowl are proper (I won't say birds due to the double entendre, besides I like my birds a bit improper thanks).

 

[Shutterbugin]

Anyone who can use "Popinjay' in a sentence is ok with me.

"You really are a puffed-up Popinjay".

You don't fry those birds, you use them to fuel the fire. I recommend finding something a bit more tender, unless you're fond of wood.

.....first, get a very large pan, fill it with water and put a large brick into the bottom.

Place the Heron in the pan with the brick and bring to the boil.

Simmer for at least 7 hours.

Drain the water.

Discard the Heron

Eat the brick.............
