The English Topic

Kate! What a *bonza* idea!!!

Lesson 2 ; bonza = great/good/excellent

Heidi, im not very keen on England. You wanna change houses, you come up here and me go to toulouse?? 😆

yesterday, seemed like the last day of nice weather for us so we had our last barbie* and some yummy spicey bangers*.

*Barbie = bbq
*Bangers = sausages

no more till next year now i guess 🙁

My favourite aussie slang… (yeah yeah it is slang, it’s become part of Australian references now, so just for the sake of this topic let’s say it’s slang)

‘Do you want a glass of Cardonnay ? It’ French the H is silent ! ! ! :boire

Long live kath and Kim!

Hi Oz Boy, welcome back!

Welcome back too Tadpole, glad you had a great holiday. Ireland sounds great.

Here the spring is really starting to warm up, bright and blue and sunny and we should have 30 deg C in Melbourne tomorrow!

Kate

And this is spring … !!! 🙁 (freezing out there)

Hi there, I was on the chat today, just out of curiosity, and i have found a new commer for this topic 🙂
Kusjeee is from the Netherlands, so she can only be on the english topic as everything else is in French, but she is very interested in knowing more about Oz!
Hope she will get a nice welcome here!

Kate09 enjoy the heat!! Here it is changing a little bit, we are getting big jackets out!
Take care all of you
Buell

She is not old enough for kykyboss 👿 tsss

What do you mean not old enough for Kykyboss, you give a such bad reputation 😛

im a angel :conscience

So did the weather hold????
That would be sthg really strange for Melboune’s neighborhood!! 😛

Hope you had a good time Kate! 😉

PS: it is still 24 degres here 😮 that is also very surpising (but nice!!) as a few years ago there was -4degres on a 4 of november in burgundy (less, much less nice!!).. so we will see also if the weather holds!!

PS2: For all those in France.. THINK ABOUT CHANGING THE TIME ON YOUR WATCH THIS WEEKEND by the way.. 🙂

Hi all!!

Kykyboss, PLEASE!! who are you kidding, you have made your own reputation on this site with your how to pick up chicks/where to pick up chicks carnet de bord with photos included so please dont play the shocked virgin 😆 😆 and I dont personally think that anyone is too young for you not to at least try!! 😛

Effisk, how was your hours sleep??

Good to see there are a few more participants on the english part. Good for you Buell meeting someone else who speaks english, I saw that you were looking for someone to talk to and practice.

Kate, lucky you with the weather, aparently we will have nice weather until tuesday then from November on back to the typical seasonal cold weather. Gotta go get out coats/hats and gloves etc from the garage again. and away with the t shirts for another 8 or 9 months.

I remember 2003. It was a dry year (although I always complained about the weather). Now what we see here is preoccupying.

Hey guys, lets make this clear… she’s 14!!! (need to be above 13 to register yourself on AA).

Actually I think she got scared.. she still hasn’t posted anything 🙁

Don’t worry for me Tadpole: I speak English everyday 🙂 remember I am also an Australian citizen 😉
I hope you get a chance also to speak English here in France, it ain’t that easy to find people interested in it, it is more like : « waow?? speaking english?? are you nuts?? » lol
Haha, that reminds me of a stupid but funny video 😆 (click on the picture)

Speak English?

Watch Video

Kate, sorry to say 😀 lol, but I had in mind it might happen like that for your day out at the beach.. that’s Melbourne weather they say 😆 I read now it is better, hope your garden will survive 🙂

Take care all of you,
Bye, Buell

Hi Tadpole 🙂
Did you get crap weather in Paris?
I was in Burgundy this weekend, and it was… ok a bit fresh.. at night especially (actually it just was TERRIBLE at night ), but in the afternoon, out of the shade it was really good really nice in the sun. Not for long ok.. 🙁 but I enjoyed it 🙂

Where I was, farmers are saying the cold is soon going to leave, and by the end of the week we shall get nice temperatures again, lets see if the wise guys are right 😀

Are you trying to make Kate envious..? 😉 hahaha 😆 It is true that it’s great to have a white christmas, even though I think it would be nice too to have snow that stays with about.. 25 to 35 degres.. 🙄
[ok, i’m dreaming again , pfff .. .. (:lol:!!)]
Cheers Kate, enjoy the summer, I promise I’ll send some pics if we get some snow over here !

hello there,

what a bad weather in Paris, I can’t bear it ! I’m counting the days in the calendar ! I will arrive in Sydney on the 27th.

Here, the sun seems to have abandonned us loool, only fog, cold wind but no rain. pffff It makes me wanna sleep all the time. and I’d like to but I’m afraid to become depressive if I sleep too much looooollllllll !!!!!

well, excuse-me if i make mistakes. my english isn’t as good as yours.

😛 (and when i speak, it can be worse lol, with a BIG french accent lol)

Yeah Nesscafé, we dont care about mistakes, we only want more people to come onto our english topic.

Buell, you’re certainly feeling very smiley aren’t you??

Good idea for the pictures of snow and decorations. We should have a chrissy pic competition for the nicesty christmas photos this year, Kate, even your funny santa in shorts and tongs finshing on a boat cards would do for a laugh too!! 😆 I do miss those chrissy cards with barbequeing reindeers and santa drinking a cool beer on the sleigh. 😆

If you mean guyfolks day kyky, yes we do celebrate guyfolks day with fire works, bon fires and sometimes burning some made up dude. 😆

By the way, finally got up the courage to take a look at some of your photos from your trip to Oz (i couldnt look at them all, there are hundreds!!!!) and actaully not too bad, not too many pics of chicks and you have really travelled alot around australia, you’ve probably seen more of it than me and IM australian!! quelle honte! 😕 You really look like you had a great time and that you really love australia and thats what counts. 🙂

My god!! They have already started putting up christmas decorations in my town over here and I saw on the news yesterday that the « grands magazins » had already done thier christmas windows! We aren’t even mid november. No wonder christmas doesnt feel special anymore, they are pushing it onto us a month early, by the time it comes, im almost sick of chistmas and it used to be my favorite time of year!! 🙁

Tadpole, yeah, i saw some decorations in my town too ! I find them beautiful, when it’s not too much ! In the supermakets, they already sell x-mas chocolate !!!! will I be able to resist ???? 😆

but this year, Halloween wasn’t very successful. Even if it’s a Celtic tradition, nowadays it really takes more part in the American tradition. For us, it’s just a commercial thing…

Well, I will be in Australia for x-mas… I don’t know how it’s gonna be… 🙄

Yeah Go Oz!! Come and get your spanking!! :jesors
