Tea? (Part 2)

[ColinJ]

Would you want to get in the way of that though?

I would not.

Mind you, I'm a wimp, so I wouldn't even fancy getting on the wrong side of 4' 10" tall Arthur Duckett!

I've been in a crush & seen a bull clear a seven foot wall to escape. I'd no-where to run!

 

[somewhere in america]

But we do so I thought I would do it to suit both!

I can see some logic in spelling 'centre' as 'center' and 'colour' as 'color', but I'm afraid that 'donut' just looks like it should be pronounced 'do-nut' (do rhyming with zoo)!

(Yeah, I know that there is a bit of a problem with the way that the English spell and pronounce many words e.g. 'though', 'through', 'plough', 'rough', 'cough'!)

I think it may have all started with Dunkin' Donuts. Something about they thought it looked (and fit) better on a sign. I think it's funny too and sometimes feel like I should pronounce it like do nut.
theatre is another one but we still spell it that way. Then there is practice which personally I think looks better with an s.
There is a football (American) player who's last name is spelled Favre but he pronounces it farve... not got why but a friend of mine said probably because it sounded gay; which still doesn't make sense.... how exactly does a name sound gay? I mean I would get it if a man were to say it so that he sounded gay but? People are so weird sometimes.

Good morning. Is anyone awake around here?

In that case I'll go and do something constructive.

[avalon]

Good morning C33. Did I wake you?

 

[classic33]

No, the sound of day breaking did that!
Is the kettle on?

 

[classic33]

We have an outside, still air temperature of -1.5C & holding steady.
Whens this cold spell due?

 

[avalon]

Kettles on. That breakfast looks good.
