Welsh arnt that hard to understand from the English. Unless they all start talking English English and we need subtitles. I never learned enough of that English to really understand it. Hearing it usually makes me all 6s and 7s.
Also i find it easier to understand american english for some reason >:
Brits tend to cut their sounds making it a lot harder to understand for us foreign people. Americans is like they spell words more clearly and it is much easier to perceive and recognize the correct sounds.
I don't feel the need to posture with beer every friday night and act like I've accomplished something by drinking 6 pints in a row.
6 Pints? ***I can't drink 1 bottle. Beer doesn't quench my thirst like water does. Beer just feels like added weight in my body and not satisfying. I've had 3 beers over the last 2 months, and I didn't finish any of them.. only half.

same for me. only drink beer socially, and can barely finish a can of it.
You should really make a trip to Germany if you have never seen people get super messed up from drinking beer only >_>
Absinthe is legal there @.@
It's not the "real" absinthe of the Impressionist era though. You're not going to start hallucinating. You'll just be knocked on your butt faster, and that's not fun.
As far as I can tell from the wikipedia on Absinthe, it has not changed chemically since the Impressionist era. It's always been a wormwood-infused spirit, and it still is today.
The idea that it was ever a hallucinogenic drug is an urban legend, spurred by overzealous authorities and Hollywood. Below is a Wired article about a study that disproved the idea that Absinthe was ever a hallucinogen using pre-ban Absinthe.
Gwydion Stone makes a great post below the article as well, debunking several Absinthe myths.
TY! I kind of had my doubts, because each time I've had it, people talk it up like it's so spectacular. My reaction was about the same with every other liquor I've tried. Definitely not surprised at all.
The vet had a bit of a problem putting her down, she was having a hard time putting the needle in her vein and broke the tip of the syringe trying to inject it into her. It sprayed back all over her white coat.
Poor thing ; ; I just wanted it to be quick and easy for her but it lasted for about 10 minutes. She started to get drowsy but because only a lil bit reached the vein she was still awake laying her head down on the table breathing a bit hard.
Her assistant had to go back and get a new syringe and dilute the stuff before giving it to her. She had to do that process twice before it finally did it's job, she was a lil fighter up until the end ; ;
I was just going to drop her off and come home but I couldn't stand the thought of leaving her there alone with no one familiar around her. I'm glad I didn't but even still it's rough for me.
Sorry for troubling you all with my problems but I just needed to vent, this whole thing is hard for me to deal with and I miss her so much. I'm just glad she doesn't have to hurt anymore and I hope she enjoyed her life with me, she really helped me through so much these past 12 years.

That'd be because beer literally dehydrates you. Jus' sayin'. :I

Agreed but all english still bloody sucks to spell. More exception to rules than rules.
Ahhh Boomhower..... =) I had two bosses like that. I kid you not. Hillbillies from West VA. Great guys. Couldn't understand the *** outta them. XD Except when we all started talking guns, it was universal.

yeah I'm aware. To a lot of people they get satisfaction with drinking it, fortunately I'm not one of them. Beer is too damn expensive. I can brew 40 cups of coffee for the price of a 6pack!
Love it when UK people claim they have no accent lol
Well, they don't really. I may be wrong, but I believe English as we know it originated from England, so we would be the ones speaking it with an accent.
English originated from England? Idk tbh but sounds logical lol
Quote:
English is a West Germanic language that originated from the Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain by Germanic invaders and/or settlers from various parts of what is now northwest Germany and the Netherlands. Initially, Old English was a diverse group of dialects, reflecting the varied origins of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of Britain. One of these dialects, Late West Saxon, eventually became predominant.

So... for the most part, depending on whether you count past British territory? @.@

So if I traveled back in time to see King Arthur, what would I have to speak?
/saves a dragon egg during time travel for someone.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
