is it difficult to speak English?

What's with me and the typo's today? ;-)

eat = ate

LOL!!
It was a really nice place. I hope to go again before too long (well, next year)
Do you go often? (That sounds like a really corny chat-up line, doesn't it?? 'Do you come here often?') ;)
Sander   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:18 pm GMT
Maybe 2 times a year, it's quite a distance you see ;P
Candy   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:21 pm GMT
<<it's quite a distance you see ;P>>

Oooh, in the Netherlands that must be quite some distance! At least....one hour!! (GASP!!)
(And I thought England was a small country!) :-)
Sander   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:24 pm GMT
Yeah, but when you're used to small distances that's long! :-)
Candy   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:25 pm GMT
Well, that's true. My partner kills himself laughing at my concept of 'far'. When you're Canadian....!
(I get him back by laughing at his concept of 'old'!) :-)
Sander   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:27 pm GMT
Plus, we like to whine ;P
Candy   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:29 pm GMT
I'd never have guessed!! ;)
Sander   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:32 pm GMT
And with our gas prizes ...
Candy   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:33 pm GMT
Do you get prizes when you buy gas?? :-)

Petrol, petrol, dammit! You can write American, I'll stick to the British word!! ;)
Sander   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:36 pm GMT
Petrol!!!! :-)

Petrol prices!


Btw, 'Candy' did you know that that word is actually derived from a Dutch word? ;-) I found it this afternoon.
Candy   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:38 pm GMT
No, 'Sander' (!!) I didn't know that! In my dictionary it doesn't give the origin (I've just checked)
Sander   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:40 pm GMT
Always check me!

Apparently it's derived from 'kadij' , which can be found in modern Dutch 'Kandijsuiker' which is a kind of sugar :-)

Sander, as a fellow Archeon fan, let me let you in on a little secret....
it's not my real name! ;)
My real name is.....Mrytle. No, Gwendoline. No, Doris. Oh, gosh darn it...
Sander   Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:49 pm GMT
I guessed that from the beginning :p
