Gravatar South Africa is so five minutes ago. New Zealand is the new black.


Gravatar New Zealand is the All Blacks.

Hahahahah I am so funny. No really, I am.


Gravatar Nah...ever since Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson, New Zealand has gone down the tubes.

East Timor is the new black.


Gravatar Safe travels. Say hello to Bishop Tutu for me.


Gravatar I've met him actually. He's dead sweet. He sent us a letter of thanks afterwards and everything.


Gravatar When I was in university, school authorities once accused me of planning to assassinate Bishop Tutu. Seriously.


Gravatar When I was at university anyone who got a lower second degree called it a Desmond. Tutu. 2:2 Geddit? Lord, I'm even funnier than Maccers.


Gravatar And a third was a Geoffrey, right?

What was a first and a 2:1 again?


Gravatar I thought a 3rd was a Douglas. Douglas Hurd.


Gravatar Geoff (Hurst) and Atilla (the Hun) respectively. And yes, Third was a Douglas. Also rhyming slang for a turd.


Gravatar ah right gotcha

fab


Gravatar Hey Maccers, you might be interested in this little bit:

Gravatar Jesus, the English are boring.


Gravatar Have you been to Cru? That's a jinxed spot, and I fear a 65K diaspora by the new year.


Gravatar When I was at university Desmond Tutu gave the commencement speech and it was quite possibly the worst commencement speech I've ever heard. And I've been to several graduations.


Gravatar Ok, I'm Romanian, but have lived in the US for 24 yrs. I'm wondering: why do Europeans omit the article when talking about higher education Example: "when I went to University..."

Shouldn't there be a "the" in there?


Gravatar Robotnik - the American equivalent is "college". No article is requires - "When I was in college" is proper rather than "When I was in the college".


Gravatar i thought rhyming slang for a turd was a brad pitt?


Gravatar Sterling, a good point but...isn't there more than ONE University in England? And so...how do we distinguish WHICH University one attended?

Also, why not drop the article on other nouns.

Like: I went to store and bought cigarettes.

Or: I'm going to theatre tonight to meet up with Maccers...


Gravatar LX, you are searching for logic in the English language? Once you find it, we could use a hand with those WMD's.


Gravatar Countdown to Maccers' grand exit.

I'm going to buy some new sneakers this weekend in celebration. Red ones.


Gravatar L'Emme...point taken.


Gravatar Don't Midwesterners drop the definite article? I distinctly recall one M. Ringwald shrieking, "What about Prom, Blaine? What about Prom?"

Sterling, wanna tell us why it's "at university" but "in college"?


Gravatar Oh, you people are so common. Think of the chosen people who "Went up to New Haven."


Gravatar Haven't you heard? Croatia is the new black


Gravatar Cape Town? Lovely place. Pity about the rain.


Gravatar Thank God your not blogging while on vacation. That would be sad.


Gravatar yes but she comments on other blogs, which is tragic.


Gravatar feck off. time to find a more constructive way to deal with that small member feeling of inadequacy


Gravatar they drop it for being hospitalized, you know, being 'in hospital' and all?
