Boring version- Be careful you do not hit the wall and take it away with u..

Scots the only language in the world where two positives mean a negative " aye right " by the way I'm Scots

Cutter / Standing Knife

Ouch, that's got to hurt

Be careful those knives are out to get us.

"Stanley knife" it should have been....

I just love it when my dear wife used to say "Dear, take me a picture".

It sounded so lovely to me.

She is already losing some older expressions she used to say, but I have them on video and she didn't like to see the older ones when I last saw her.

Progress happens very fast and nostalgia is important to hold on to

As I was flicking through the TV channels, a cooking channel appeared,
how to cook Kippers, my wife asked me how to cook kippers the other day
So I shouted with excitement... quick Kippers... then a pair of slippers come flying at me. No no Kippers on the telly.

Hahahha NICE ONE....

We always had corrections with pronunciation with my hubby... I use dto pronounced using AMERICAN ENGLISH because I'm a ESL teacher so I had my AMERICAN ACCENT training on my company.... Now what happened is my hubby is always correcting me waaaaaaaaaaaaaa... and HE is always teasing my AMERICAN ACCENT duuuuuuuu ...

BRITISH accent has hard accent not unlike AMERICAN has a soft tone...
