If the cake was real and within my grasp......I'd have polished it off by now. But seeing that it is not real, everyone may have a small piece....but not TOO much. ;) :)

A couple of strawberries would do me fine.

...and how did the day go?


Hi Philip, the day was pretty ordinary because I was at work but I left work earlier than usual to come home. Got some presents this morning from wife and kids, the parents-in-law were laying in wait for me when I got home and I had some tea and cake with them. I won't be going out anywhere tonight though...just a quiet night at home.

I've counted the strawberries and I'll know if any go missing! ;)

...a quiet night at home, with the family is a good way to celebrate the day.

Alan...the single candle is symbolic.....as in ....Oh Great ONE!! 8)

Peter .... I see you are currently online ... so ... Yay! Hope it was top notch.  :)

Re your avatar ....(confession ?) .... I was initially disappointed when you switched to your current one ... as the one you originally chose .... struck me as SO friendly /nice /warm / pleasant ! However, your current one (Dr. Slump ... who I still don't recognise / have never heard of till your usage) is also one to warm to.

Says a lot about you that you changed it for the reason you did. However ... whoever that OTHER person mayb be ... I certainly can't recall coming across them . A dormant account ?  ???

I can't recall who it was but it was in February I saw several posts and haven't seen it since. She (I think) probably changed it for the same reasons.

Happy on-time or belated birthday, gibbo- whichever the case may be!

It was 10.46 when you replied (here in Sydney) ... means we must be 1 hour ahead ? Not sure ... could be this weekend ... but think the clocks will be adjusted any time soon ?

So do you all set your alarms for 3 am (or is that 4 am) to wake up and turn the clocks back ..and then go back to sleep for an extra hour? ;D

You don't adjust yours in Qld ? Think I 've heard something like that ?

I think you're SUPPOSED to adjust them sometime around 2am (typically) if you happen to be up ? Else you'd do it in advance the day before ... or more likely ... when you wake up that morning ?


I've often found out about it only hours before .. that we were into the 6 monthly adjustment !

Ny has to change clocks forward one hour.

This Sunday we change it again.  We say spring forward, fall back.  In the spring we set our clocks 'forward', in the fall, 'back'.

The clocks in the UK will forward at the end of the month.

Then I guess that saying applies to U.K. too.

...and there is the time difference too.

Well, that too, but a person KNOWS it's a different time, even if they don't know how many hours...they may not know that about phrases.  I'm always asking people, especialyy from other countries what they THOUGHT I said.  ;D

Usually it is a 5 hour difference between London and New York, so with the US clocks forward the difference for the few weeks will be 4.

Yes, certain words and phrases that we take for granted may not be known in other countries and can create undue tensions....but sometimes it also spices it up too. :)

Mostly, for Gibbo, it just makes him upset.  ;D

I was at a quiz the other night. The host wanted to know what Americans call trams.

We didn't really know this. Submitted trolly car.  Since most of the other teams did the same .... he ended up 'paying' that answer. However .... the answer he was after was 'street car'.

Comments Belle ?

Very true!! But they're going out of existance in most cities.....buses or subways take their place....there's a nice one 45 min. from here.

So .... you DON'T ever  call them 'trolley cars' ?

Besides... I just focused on the better part  ;)
