Week 8 down
Blimey. It's been a tough week. Lots of hours at work. My back was bothering me at the start of the week and the running program was in doubt. However i have completed the 8th week and only have 1 to go. Yippee. I actually ran further every night than the program dictates so I know already I can do next week :)

I couldn\'t sleep last night and saw that you have posted something. It was like, 2AM here. We had a huge storm that passed through. I love the word, blimy. I\'m not British, but I think I am going to start using it anyway. Just seems like such a perfect word to express sometimes. Have a beautiful day!
Blimy, YA\'LL! ;-)
It\'s got an e between the m and the y folks. \' B L I M E Y \' . You Americans and your poor spelling of the English language lol :) - I\'ll see what other british\'isms i can come up with Nik :) - You can always add cor before blimey to give it a real feeling of suprise......Cor Blimey! :D :)
LOL!
So \"ya\'ll\" gets a pass, but economize on a simple \"e\" and get scorned? Brits.
That post there is a \"cracker\", it is!
Of course, over here, cracker has a whole different usage - \"Cracker, please!\"
Cor blimey!!!!! ;). Oops, the e.
:) Now that\'s better. It makes all the difference that little letter ;) .
Well Tex Economise is actually meant to be spelt with an \'s\' and not a \'z\'.
Flipping hell. Ya\'ll on the other hand is just slang and not really a word as such. I\'m giving free English Grammer lessons here!!!!! Talk about opportunity missed. Also on a similar line to Cracker. When you say you are pissed. You mean you are angry but over here it would mean you are 3 sheets to the wind or in other words inebriated :)
Cracker has several different meanings in our society too. You might for example say citychick is a cracker. Which would mean she is a bit on the fit and attractive side. It could also mean its a cracker as in a biscuit type thing that some people eat with cheese. I\'ve really opened a can of worms here!!!!! Help!!!!
Oh yeah? Well SPELL me this! ;-)
Spelled vs. spelt
In American English, spelt primarily refers to the hardy wheat grown mostly in Europe, and the verb spell makes spelled in the past tense and as a past participle. In all other main varieties of English, spelt and spelled both work as the past tense and past participle of spell, at least where spell means to form words letter by letter or (with out) to make clear. Outside the U.S., the two forms are interchangeable in these uses, and both are common.
And yeah, you people don\'t know your \"s\" from a \"z\" in the ground! ;-)
And just to be clear, the \"cracker\" I was talking about is when referring to a white person in a derogatory fashion, but I\'d rather be called that than a biscuit.
So, is this all you have to do on a Saturday night???
Oh, GOOD LORD.
You 2 are GEEKS.
I want a drink after reading this exchange..........
Plus, REALLY??!!?? You guys are picking on the \"Blimey\" but no one razzed his British ass about the \"Fortnightly\"?????
Terry, you are slowing down, my friend.
:) What you getting so worked up about? Yanks can\'t spell proper. Everone nose that :D
Yeah, I new that.... :-P
