That our brothers and sisters across the Pond don't tend to use the mild swear word 'bloody'
Bloody hell, that's a bleeding surprise!
Is that true?

Yes. That’s true.

I had an English girlfriend for a time back in the '80s. I once used the word "bloody" in the English sense in conversation with her, and she (mildly) admonished me - "that's a swear word!" she said. I was shocked! How the bloody hell is "bloody" a swear word?

Fee Waybill of the Tubes apparently had a punk stage persona called Johnny Bugger - that made me smile when I read it recently… it’s only funny cos he’s American though for some reason.
I've been talking about writing a book - 25 years of TEFL - for a few years now. I've got it in me.

Re: Post something you've learnt today
If I remember well Johnny Bugger's band were called the Dirt Baskets.
Classic stage performance. Published on the "What Do You Want From Live" double LP.
Recorded in some time in '77 at Hammersmith Odeon, so there's the 'bugger' connection, perhaps.
After his rant he bursts into "I Was a Punk Before You Were" which, given the year, is quite drole, coming from a guy born in Omaha NE.

The name for the word dill comes from the old word ‘dills’ meaning to soothe - apparently churchgoers used to chew the seeds to get through dull sermons in church

Re: Post something you've learnt today
I heard from my cousin in Israel about her daughter -
" A is looking for a job. She was released from the army a couple of months ago. She applied at a restaurant on the beach across from where I work because she heard they need employees. I was surprised they are hiring as it's the end of the summer season. Turns out they have lost employees because these young people went to the rave in the south and didn't return. "

Nonsense to the aggressiveness, I've seen more aggression on the my little pony message board......I mean I was told.

I tried to reply to this with a broken heart but it wouldn’t accept the post.
I don’t have words to describe how broken hearted I am.
I have family in Israel too. We are all completely devastated.

Not today, but recently, that Suella Braverman was, at birth, Sue-Ellen - named after the character Sue Ellen Ewing, from the Dallas TV programme.
Her primary school teachers shortened it.
Today: that her mother is Tamil (as is my wife's side of the family) and that her husband is Jewish
Irrespective, still a despicable person
