I have a really, really silly question to ask...

[annawrigley]

Does bollocks mean butt? Hahahaha
And where did the term "bloody" come from? Like... "I bloody well mean it!" lol I don't even think I used to right lmao.

bollocks are testicles lmao
and when you say oh bollocks it means like oh crap
and yes you used bloody right dunno where it came from though its just fun to say in a cockney accent. BLADDY HELL

 

[annawrigley]

but bollocks can also be good.... if something is "the dog's bollocks" its like "the bomb"
and "getting bollocked" is getting told off or getting in alot of trouble
lol

 

[dontworry]

Ahh that kinda makes sense now. After I watched Harry Potter for the first time, I couldn't stop saying "bloody" lmfao. I was sooo cool. xD

Another question: What's a hen's weekend, in regards to a wedding?!

 

[leoniebabey]

ahhhh I Love this thread so much !

who would have thought there could be so many differences.
My aunty is american and i loveee when she sends things over
Jelly Belly jelly beans i think they are called
and almonds covered in cocoa powder

YUMMMMMM

& it took me all of my 16 years here to figure out that 'Peanut butter & Jelly' is not actually peanut butter with wobbely jelly Its jam I was wondering why it sounded so discusting to me. Well it still sounds rather horrific cause i hate peanut butter and i hate jam sandwiches.

Another question: What's a hen's weekend, in regards to a wedding?!

before the bridge & groom get married they have like a weekend away or a night out which is like there last night of freedom sort of thing. Usually the girls get dressed up in fancy dress ect and get VERY VERY DRUNK!

the male version of this is a stag night/weekend

 

[Jas029]

TattiesMum: We have both jelly AND jam here
Not quite sure what the difference is though.. I think jam has like more pieces of the fruit in it giving it more texture and jelly is just like.. smooth jelly?

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.. Mmm.. I still love them with big glass of milk!

Here flapjacks are just like pancakes.. But I google-imaged flapjacks and see what the english version is as well..

Do you guys have waffles there?!

Sounds like the english version of a bachelor/bachelorette party

 

[dontworry]

OOOOH so it's like our version of the "bachelorette party". That makes loads of sense lol. I'm like reading the Bride & Beyond sections thinking "What in the world are they talking about?!" lmao.

I love peanut butter and jelly/jam sandwiches lol. But more peanut butter than jam... my grandpa makes jam though, and I love it cause it's "home made", but anything else is ridiculously sweet and ewie. And I love Jelly Belly jelly beans! Hahaha you can go to the factory out here, its about an hour or two away, and they show you how they're made and give you lil samples and stuff. x)

we do but they are different I think, ours are potatoe waffles

[dontworry]

Oh my word... no waffles?! I wonder what potato waffles taste like... our's taste just like pancakes but my OH thinks they're better, cause the texture is awesome. Those holes serve the same purpose as the crumpet's holes, so the butter can soak down and stuff. Omg this is making me so hungry lol.

And YES! I love that little booklet too! My friend and I were sitting on the couch the other day picking and pulling random jelly beans from the bag, trying to make new flavors lol. I liked the peanut butter and toasted marshmallow... MMM!

Potato waffles? Oh those are like our waffle fries..

Ok ok I admit I don't know how to make waffle/pancake batter it's been to long

we do have those waffles but they dont sell them in many places, I think I got a big pack of honey ones ages ago and I started eating them cold cos they were so good
cant find them anywhere now though

 

[dontworry]

Aww they should like sell waffle irons/makers somewhere! I'm putting one on my wedding registry cause I can't be bothered to buy one, but OH loves them too much to never buy one. So now when he whines I just tell him, "Wait for the wedding... we'll get one!".

mmm the toasted marshmallow one is delicious !
You can actually get these in the UK just not many places do them and they are stupidly expensive !

 

[Jas029]

Mm.. I have some frozen chocolate chip waffles in my freezer right now waiting to be heated up..

Isn't there some place in the UK you could buy a waffle iron?!
I feel so sorry for you guy it costs an arm and a leg just to get a waffle!!

 

[dontworry]

Jelly beans are expensive over here too, actually. BUT - if you go to the factory, they sell bags of "Jelly Flops", which are all the deformed little jelly beans, sometimes two are stuck together or there's a big gob of them stuck together, or they're just not the right shape or whatever, and they're usually half the price of a regular bag, and they come in a HUGEEEE bag!
They're still delicious, they just don't look "normal". I love them more than regular beans. xD

Why have I missed out on this topiccc?
I had some waffles with banana icecream and toffee sauce at this restaurant in other week. Amazing. I wish we had more easily accessible waffles here.
