Nice to get something right . When we go shopping , we write messages , what the English call a list . We then put the shopping in the press , what the English call a cupboard . A hot press is what the English call an airing cupboard . A lad around the corner thought that I was conspiring with his lass to make him feel silly , when she mentioned a hot press . The more I tried to explain , the worse it got . When I was a navvy , the companies would have a load of words we used , and what we were saying . Rather like a dictionary , but more a list of how we had massacred the English language . A greeting could be , "About ye " , or Himself , herself , or "Hows yous " .

I was always amazed at the term “messages”. In America they referred to adverts which would have more appropriately been called lies. Strange thing, language.

I used to live in Australia . "G day pommie " they would say . I would explain that I am Irish , and as such was not a Pommie , but that the Australians are . I would keep some British money , and show the same person on British coins and Australian coins . I would also say about the same "Union flag " that Australia has in the top left corner of their flag . That would be all I needed , well up until Ireland beat them at Aussie rules / Gaelic football . Just asking what the foottie score was , would clear a shopping mall .

Hey Ken what you think? Jah bless the internet! Remember when Israelites being bitten by snake were told if to enable survival were to look at the snake put on a pole by Moses well here we are ? The copper serpent we who have in a relative sense been bitten by watchtower look upon the copper sepent here @ e-watchman are being relieved of the impregnated poison? Numbers 21? Ken I know I go beyond myself sometimes but Wow have we not undeservedly landed here @ Jehovah's watchman?

Strange that you would write about the copper snake . I have always said that for many years many of us have been wandering in a spiritual wilderness . Also , when I read that the watchtower writes about giving food at the proper time , I myself prefer to stay in this particular wilderness . This wilderness is at least looking for good sources of food and not serving up vomit .

With a name like Patricia , I would guess you are from County Kilburn , as we call it , or Camden . Both , like other places that the English think are part of their country are in fact parts of Ireland . I live in Cornwall , but there is a language barrier . They say "Alright Den " . I tell them I am not called Denis , they then say "Alright Ary " . I then have to tell them I am not called Harry either . There must be a few people that look like me here , and they are mistaking me for them , but not when I speak . I have only recently found out that when the Irish use the word Sallow , it means pale , or fair skin . In English it means down and miserable . No wonder not many want to speak to me .

And with superconductor abilities. Sounds about right!!

Yes, I have long had suspicions about niobium and his magnetic resonance. I had assumed he was a top-notch study conductor as you suggest with a magnetic personality. However, they can be rather brittle - I had one break on me and pinch my finger at the same time. One thing for sure, if you’re arguing at different poles about the truth, you can get repelled from the congregation quite forcibly!

Welcome @iamshesheisme to the forum. Glad to have you here.

I’m not directly from England although I do know that I come from English descent. Does that count?

Btw, did you get your username from a line in the Beatle’s song, “I Am the Walrus“ ?
Just wondering….

Hey there! Thanks for the welcome! I can't give the Beatles any credit as I have never even heard of that song. I might have to check it out though. 😊

Hey there! I've been thinking about the coming days and the way things are going within the organisation. There are very few critically minded brother's and sister's that I know of and I would love to be able to connect with like minded ones who love Jehovah and are awake to what is actually going on within the organisation. I feel there may be times when we are going to need each other for support in one way or another. Is there anyone here from England?

Bienvenido!! A mí me encontraras si decides pasar las vacaciones en el Mediterráneo, en España. No es mal plan eh? Una conversación bíblica mirando el mar con un buen vino...😉⛵
 
Hello Mick, I'm not new here, I just dont make many comments, thank you for the welcome though.
Fine with the 20mph limits, they are ignored by the majority of people, and i tend to go with the flow of traffic.

Translation: Welcome!! You will find me if you decide to spend your holidays in the Mediterranean, in Spain. It's not a bad plan, huh? A biblical conversation looking at the sea with a good wine... 😉⛵
