Thanks to everyone for the wonderful birthday messages.  |

Do you notice how newsreaders always put exciting adjectives at the front. On the news, the other day I picked up these:
Steady stream, Steadfast in determination, Bloody streets of Bangkok, Weighty document and Clinch their victory.
They put a lot of emphasis on their first word! Just listen and you'll hear if it you haven't already noticed. |

British Slang Cont...
2. `Billy No-Mates'. A term to describe a sad, lonely person, with no friends. Can be used as an adjective and also abbreviated sometimes to Bill.
Uses: `You're a Billy No-Mates.' - You have no friends. Usually said in jest. `I'm on my Bill' - Meaning you're alone.
Some people use Todd instead of Bill for the second one. I've no idea why. I don't know who Bill and Todd where or why they were so lonely (shrug). |
