Blank tipping

Well a few of us were out on a walk and a funny thing happened...

We walked past a field type area and it had a sign that said, "no fly tipping" and I was puzzled. WTF is fly tipping?

Me being me said to my English friends, "ok I know what cow tipping is but what is fly tipping?" Without missing a beat,one says no dumping like rubbish. I was giggling internally.

My other English friend that was there was round ours today and confessed she found it hilarious. Then it turned into maybe flicking a fly when it was still was like fly tipping.

How the hell is fly tipping = no dumping? HA

Too funny some of these odd British words :)

Just a quick WTF moment...I think sometimes it is just PC being awkward ;-P

Me: We need a new coffee pot, this one doesn't really get hot anymore and I have to put my coffee in the microwave

PC: It's a kettle, it happens

Me: Are you trying to tell me the coffee pot is a kettle now?

PC: Well it is

Me: It's not!  It may heat water but it percolates and does coffee not just boil water.  Because a coffee pot doesn't EVEN boil water.

PC: Its still a kettle

Me: You are a dumb ass sometimes lol I mean seriously

PC: It has an element so it is a kettle

Me: You are killing me (laugh) my point is we need a new one ;-)


anyone else have these lame conversations?

Can you grab my....

This is one of my favourite conversations in our house and of course I egg it on because it is funny for me.

Conversation #1:
Prince Charming: Honey can you grab my jumper when you come down
Me: (grabbing red hoodie) handing red hoodie
PC: no the blue jumper
Me: you mean the cardigan?
PC: no the sweater
Me: why didn't you just ask for the blue sweater ;-)

See Jumper is a fleece pullover, sweater or hoodie.  Pick one! ha

Gotta love the UK English when you are American
