[b]You touched on something there combuboom[/b]

Hi all,
   This could also be a problem as there are american as well as british players here, some words are spelt differently although they sound the same, others are spelt the same although said differently. I noticed americans tend to say bastard while I say barstard cos i'm from essex england,lol

Then what about the same word yet it has a different meaning from england to the US, i've got myself in quite a few situations in the past with my american wife because of the almost opposite meanings sometimes eg:
 Bum = england = your arse (ass in america )
 Bum = america = a hobo (tramp in england )
 Tramp = england = someone who sleeps on a park bench (hobo in america )
 Tramp = america = whore, prostitute
 Fag = england = cigarette 
 Fag = america = a gay person

There is tons more but I think it's probably getting a little off topic but you understand where this can go, then again it could get quite funny,lol.

American tourist advice : When traveling to england you will undoubtedly enter London, the next thing you will probably encounter is a tramp (hobo) he will probably approach you and ask "can I bum a fag mate?" the translation for this is "can I have a cigarette if you have one spare please?"

Tony :)
