Hey Ho

Hokay … Here's another snippet from the BBC news website to accompany the one about tea from a couple of days back.
The leaning minaret of WHAT?

I have a tea shop for you in my latest post! I did two of them today.

I'll pop across, Mme.
And I shall bring the jam.

Hee, hee.

"Two staircases form a double helix" ... making it one of the strongest structures ...

A bit like DNA, non?

Indeedy!
I just realised, this will all be totally lost on the Americans.
I believe they call jam, "jelly".
Though what they call jelly, I have no idea.
Strange people.

I can feel you taunting us jelly eaters from across the great waters. You're going to have to get a little deeper than "jam" to throw us off on the English/American scrabble. Oh, I am behind on my reading is that a new post up above? Right then. See, I talk like you sometimes too. I even say "in hospital" and "on holiday", but mostly for my own enjoyment. :)

Oh and, I was imagining a DNA like Mme. That is neeto frito(a dorky and outdated American saying I thought I'd teach you because I'm giving that way;)!

But I still have no idea what Americans call jelly.
You must have the stuff. Wobbly, see-through fruity stuff that usually comes in funny shaped moulds.
I'll pout and sulk until I find out.

Shan said...

OH! JELLO!!! Yes of course we have jelly, but with an "0" at the end instead. The name is so strangely different I had no ideas before the description. :D

You are really asking right?

dive said...

Ah, jello! As in "jello-wrestling" or "Jello Biafra".
Thank you, Shan. I am much enlightened.
