I love my friends in England and the UK.
Recently, my friend Suzie wrote on her FB wall, "aching all over and with a dicky tummy. (a very unwelcome) welcome back to the winter vomiting virus!"

If I'm coming to knock you up in the morning, should I bring a rubber?
Whatever side of the planet you're on, what are some of your favorite language differences? :)

some of my most enjoyable moments were listening to dx stations where the op's second language was English learned from someone with a cockney accent. So we're talking a very heavy original tongue accent (say French) AND the nominally spoken cockney English. It can be a riot.

Having a suck off a fag means something entirely different in the U.K. that it would in the U.S.

Excuse me, I must hoover the flat.

Took me while to put that one together until I read others talking about adding tomatoes.

Ever see an Englishman pour warm custard on his spotted dick ?

Perhaps, Mr. Balls would be more apropo?

That's one, not that it's much of an improvement...

Hello.

What is the policy on homosexuals in the UK, can not be much worse than what is here.

When did we get a policy regarding homosexuals in the US, and what is it?

Maybe a little better. Gays are not banned from the military in the UK, for one thing.
