So Excited!

[UKMark]

Just had a call from our solicitor. Our house purchase completes on July 13th :cool1: We're now $426,657.25 in debt :lmao: ( at the current exchange rate;)) We can't wait to move in and start the next stage of our life together. We were supposed to get married last year, but had to postpone when I changed jobs twice in six months. Then this year we had to leave our rented house and decided to buy, so the wedding went out the window again :rolleyes: Hopefully we'll make it down the aisle next year :hug::dance3:

I sure hope you meant PLUS some yummy poofs; PULSE on the other hand, is my blender's lowest setting... on a side note, isn't it inneresting "poofs" didn't get turned into a series of asterisks? I think you've found the key to confounding the DIS naughty word algorithm -- Britspeak

she experiments...

knob

fanny (particularly amusing to folks in the UK when we talk about our fanny packs)

nope -- nary an asterisk in sight. :)

That's a GREAT video.

Appropos of absolutely nothing: I am currently eating the yummiest peach cobbler (OK -- just for grins I looked THAT up in an online British slang dictionary and here it means Pie. :eek:) EVER. DH brought home a box of free peaches yesterday. (they were starting to get a little old and the produce stand was going to throw them out). Anyway, we peeled'em, sweetened'em, dumped'em in a pan, poured in a dry yellow cake mix, dotted the top with butter, baked the mess for an hour. INCREDIBLE!!!! AND we have enough for another one in the freezer. Whos sez the recession can't be fun?

[Hathaway Browne]

There's loads of alternate words between our nations. Wasn't it Ben Franklin who said we are separated by a common language?

Anyway, congrats again to our new home owners. I wonder where abouts on this sceptred isle they reside?

[jenn&nelsonrego]

Congrats to the new homeowners! :cheer2:

I'm half Scot half Cockney and Mark C is all Brummie, so we live in Kent:lmao:. We're only 40 mins from Dover and about 4 hours from DLRP :rotfl:

[OrlandoMike]

So do you have keys yet?

[UKMark]

Not yet. Won't get the keys until after we complete in July. We're living with my brother and his boyfriend at the moment :D

Gay british brothers????

That's like heaven! :love:

[rpmdfw]

I think I saw a . . . er . . . a foreign film . . . like that once. :rolleyes1

[OrlandoMike]

Is that what they rent in the back room of the video store? Foreign films?

[jenn&nelsonrego]

That's like heaven! :love:

:lmao: LOL Conc!

On a serious side though... my mother has this young girl working for her, both the young girl and her sister are lesbians (they are both in their late teens). I guess one of my moms customers found out about this and commented that it was weird that two sisters from one family would both be gay... First my exasperated face for being disgusted by ignorance... :headache: When my mom told me about this and commented that she didnt know what to say, I told her that she should say "Why is that weird but a family with multiple straight siblings is not?" That is my take on the whole thing, but I guess I am wondering now... Is that pretty typical?

Ahh cool. I'm not far from Brum myself.

Nice location, being that bit closer to DLRP. ;) Forgive me, but I can't resist....Can you see the White Cliffs from your new digs? Have you seen Dame Vera lately?

:rolleyes:

Gay british brothers????

That's like heaven! :love:
lol
I've often wondered if there are many gay siblings out there.

[OrlandoMike]

My dentist in Boston was gay, had two brothers, both gay, both dentists also. :confused3

[rpmdfw]

Video store?!?!?!?!?!


What decade are you living in, Grandpa, the 1980s?

It's all about finding your . . . . foreign films . . . online now. Steaming, er, I mean streaming right to your computer. :thumbsup2

[rpmdfw]

That sounds like the premise for a really bad reality show.

Or possibly an amusing Musical.

:headache: Dont give those networks any ideas! Some of those shows are beyond stupid.

:rotfl2: I already have my DVR programmed for it!

OMG! I :love: the housewives! They are so dang dumb most of the time but I like watching it and shaking my head...

Have you ever watched it? I used to see the previews and be like "Oh hell now, not wacthing that crap".... But then I watched one episode one day and it was funny! Stupid and insane but funny! You just sit there and roll your eyes and cannot believe what you are seeing! Those women are nuts!:laughing:

When the first season of Orange County was on, I flipped past it and saw Slade, and stopped flipping. I watched the rest of that episode and into the next (because of course Bravo was running them back to back) and got maybe 10 minutes in before I decided that I'd rather be waterboarded than continue watching that crap.

So, yeah, I tried to watch it once. Now I flip past it all as fast as I can. (THough I have googled Slade a couple times to look at pictures. ;))

[soulmates]

CONGRATS!! Let me see, your 2 British gay men, who live w/ your gay brother, who goes to a dentist who is gay, and his brothers are gay, and you know 2 teenage lesbians who are sisters and someone works in adult films?? This thread is too much for me on a Monday!!!! ;)

:lmao: eh, to each their own. It drags me out of this world into a world I cannot imagine (unless I win the lottery) and that is what I like TV and movies to do for me. I have only seen The Real Housewives of New Jersey... have not seen the others and so hope to not get hooked on them!

Well, Slade was the only reason I stopped flilpping channels in the first place.

But he's an arrogant donkey's butt. So even when he was on screen it wasn't worth watching.

:scratchin

Maybe I should have muted the sound . . .

[jenn&nelsonrego]

Maybe I should have muted the sound . . .

::yes:: Sounds like a plan! ::yes::

[UKMark]

See what happens when I don't post on the thread for a couple of days ;) :rotfl:

Most people who comment on us both being gay say "oh, your poor mother" :confused3 She said she'd rather we were happy being openly gay, than miserable being in the closet and in a straight relationship :lovestruc She's a lovely lady and we both spoil her rotten. We also have 2 gay cousins, must be something in the water ;)

As for the location of the house, no we can't see the White Cliffs of Dover from Chatham and we haven't seen Dame Vera for ages :lmao:

[Hathaway Browne]

"Your poor mother" -- reminds me of that line from Alan Carr about him being gay and his brother being ginger. (Punchline which I can't divulge here) LOL

[steven_&_daniel]

...Our house purchase completes on July 13th...


Brilliant!
Do you have the two dogs yet?
They are mandatory.
:dogdance::dogdance:

[UKMark]

We spend 3 weeks a year in Orlando, not sure what we'd do with 2 dogs ;) Having said that Mark fell in love with Tinkerbell, a friend of my brothers Chorckie. She looks a little like this one, but with longer hair, so who knows :rotfl:

Like heck, I couldn't!

Just watch me!

Okay, so I don't stay mad LONG, but when the door is OPEN and they piddle inside the house anyway, it get's frustrating! :headache:
