I'd thought that MySpace was an enormously entertaining way to spend (waste) time online - but Facebook is in a different league altogether. It doesn't help that soooo very many of my bubbly friends are all on Facebook too. Please stop uploading all of those hilarious photos you lot - I used to have a life before Facebook sucked me in.
Why not try Facebook yourself, if you dare . . .
During one of these oh-so-lengthy sessions, while I was browsing through the Facebook profile page of a bubbly colleague* (as you do) I noticed this strange but interestingly named group:
"I say loo not toilet"
There was a lot of entertaining old rubbish written on the "loo not toilet" wall (tee hee!) , but I particularly enjoyed this helpful guide to mealtimes - which is a topic I vaguely remember discussing with an international nurse some weeks ago:Here is a list of the correct dining terms:
- Breakfast - clearly the breaking of the fast in the morning.
- Elevenses - mid morning snack, consisting of some form of cake or pastry and juice.
- Lunch (NOT EVER dinner) - midday meal
- Tea - held between the hours of three and five. Tea is to be imbibed, in cups with saucers, with cake. Or, if you are at boarding school, Tea is the early evening meal consisting of beans and toast and various chocolate spreads. Who knows where all of the fees go...
- Supper - a light meal in the early evening, often the meal of choice having had a large luncheon.
- Dinner - the full meal of the evening. Preferably three courses and accompanied by fine wine. Dinner is NOT lunch, I cannot stress this firmly enough.
*I won't identify my colleague too closely - but if I say she's in a leadership position, then that will probably be the key to unlock her identity.
