Into Britain is somewhere I've never been, though I'd like to. My daughter is to be making a trip there and to France and Italy this summer.
Summer trips are very popular among the young. I wonder how many Australians and New Zealanders are vacationing and doing casual labour in Europe every year?
Yearly, I would love to have a vacation! We haven't had one in years. With my hubbie's new job we finally have one coming up in the next year. Man, do we need a break.
'Break a leg' is normally said to actors before they go on stage, but I don't know where the tradition came from. I imagine it is reverse psychology.
Psychology is a dangerous subject to study. It is mostly bullshit and it has a strange effect on those who study it which causes them to think they know intimate things about others and are thus superior.
"Superior is as superior does" is something I can imagine someone somewhere saying, as after all, let's face it- in any situation where there are variants at play, someone or something has to land on top.

Bottom bunk was always my choice in my youth because all the heat rose to the ceiling in my sister's bedroom, (where the bunkbeds were) and I found it too hot to sleep comfortably on top. Luckily, she didn't mind the heat.
(thanks for the info-I wasn't aware of that standard).
Heat is exercising the minds of all the first world politicians at the moment as they've finally noticed that the general public has been banging on about it for years. Before this, the hot air mostly came from them, at both ends.
Ends justify means? Not in my book, chummy.
Chummy residences for young men who joined the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank were called chummeries. Rather nicer than shared houses or flats.
Flats for the Honkers and Shankers chaps were called chummeries? Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs- I never knew that.
That is probably because you have not lived in the Colony for such a length of time that every aspect of its history is carved on your heart. Like Mary and Calais.
Calais is only 21 miles from England. That's a bit too close for my liking.
Liking me, liking you, aha! Don't you just love scandinavian blondes- and brunettes?
Brunettes often disguise their true colour in order to achieve a dramatic effect. This subterfuge is easily exposed by anyone who knows them fairly well.
Well-turned phrases are always pleasing to the ear. You can also have a well-turned calf or table-leg.
table-leg or no table-leg , certain phrases , no matter how well turned , will always offend my ear .
of course , certain people claim that i have a tinear .
Ear lobes are really quite strange objects. If you stare at them in a bus, say, for much more than a few seconds you are apt to start tittering.
Tittering is not a sound one expects to hear from an adult male. It more aptly describes the laughter of a young female.
