Makes it more fun. The lawmakers know what they're doing
Dinner comes from the French word for breakfast, literally the first meal of the day, and supper means soup. Why are they so much better?
Maybe I'm being too much of a downer. My wife loves the mountain of teddies. She's not the one who has to find somewhere to store them all though...
Breakfast, lunch, dinner
Dinner is at midday, what are you playing at having 2 meals at midday and no evening meal? Get back to France
Ok it was a deliberately silly example for emphasis. Here's a real example. I went to Australia once and in the airport somebody referred to my Mentos as "lolly". To me, lollies are on a stick. Apparently not to aussies. It threw me off for half a second, but that's it. Confused is an overstatement.
Hard to say because for every useful suggestion, there's a chance somebody else has already bought it. Some things I'd have found useful - a nappy changing setup, with plenty of nappies and wipes and cream and maybe a changing mat. Sleeping bags. Boring clothes (vests, onesies). Professional cleaner. Takeaway voucher. If you can check what they already have that would help. Or if all else fails, get nappies and wipes.
The one certain piece of advice I can give is DON'T BUY TOYS.
So many toys...
Why is this usage of tea so confusing for everybody? We re-use words all the time in English. It's a very simple concept. Imagine if a musician asked about the key of a song and everybody was like "KEY? LIKE A CAR KEY? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? SONGS DONT HAVE KEYS! IVE NEVER BEEN SO CONFUSED IN MY LIFE"
Up north we say "tea" for evening meal. That's it. Explanation sorted.
I tried to start a British chant at an American baseball game once. Immediately got told off for swearing.
I love threads like this, they really remind you of the demographics of Lemmy. I'll be watching it. Come on England!
If Schrödinger knew that he was the modern day face of the Copenhagen interpretation, he'd be in a state of both rolling and not-rolling in his grave.
I love that asterisk. Who's it for? How many people are ok with that word but only if it's censored
Pick a side!
