THE NEWS IS BIGGER THAN DATELINE, BBC, CBC, ETC.

by AndersonsInfo in

if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?

have i ever misled you?

i'll answer that--no!

Ballistic, and the rest of you guys that have borrowed my floor.

I have just caught up with this.

Sorry guys, but I already have my 'friend' from Lithuania over that week, and as the BBQ will be her last night here, I'm sure you understand that I will be busy..

See you all at the BBQ though.

Rich.

People from that island west of Europe: What do you call your country?

by seattleniceguy in

i'm curious.

do you call it the uk, england, or britain?

i have the sneaking suspicion that these terms each mean something slightly different from one another, but i thought i'd see how the natives use them.

As it turns out, the term "limey" originally applied to British sailors. In the 17th and 18th centuries, sailors suffered terribly from scurvy, a condition caused by a lack of vitamin C. Vitamin C comes mainly from fresh fruits and vegetables, but these foods aren't exactly easy to come by when you're at sea for months at a time.

So the Royal Navy prescribed lime juice for all sailors to help ward off scurvy -- hence the appellation "limeys." As often happens, the term eventually lost its original context and was applied to all British, whether sailors or landlubbers.

As to whether or not it's an insult to be called a "limey", well, that all depends on whom you ask.
