The totally off-topic thread

[Hvr]

I'd been thinking about it for a while and now seemed like a good time with everyone changing

I like it.

Anyone know any pub in Brisbane that will play tonights AFL Game.

Top of the table clash, Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne and a friend is over from the west for a couple of weeks.

Well I have no intention of changing anytime soon. Not until my trip to Billund, at least.

Don't change, Jessica! I think your avatar is beautiful and unique.

 

[straitman]

Mine's changed also.

So how would you abbreviate breakfasts?



Breakys? Brekkys? Brekkies? Breaky just does not look right to me - I have removed the apostrophe to keep the pedantic happy.

B'fast - note the acceptable use of apostrophe

Does breaky refer to 'achy breaky heart' perhaps, given the breakfast ingredients?

 

[Cruiser Elite]

B'fast - note the acceptable use of apostrophe

Written - perfect - spoken - useless - how do you say 'Would you like to go out for b-apostrophe-fast?'

Sounds a bit like an insult if you asked a person that - I've seen 'brekky' rather than the others.

Eyes sore. Get eye check-up and there has been a 0.25 change. "You need new script!". Get new glasses. Eyes still sore. Arrggghhhh.

The moral of the story is I could have waited until December and got a pair of glasses end December and another pair beginning of January and paid only $20 instead if $220. And now need to deal with sore eyes anyway.

 

[love_the_life]

It's always the way JohnK. Lost count of the number of times it's happened to me too (not the sore eyes though).

Brekky seems to be the accepted colloquial abbreviation, so that the plural is probably Brekkies. Glad that you removed the apostrophe. Fast food outlets seem to be the worst offenders with a penchant to insert an apostrophe before an"s".

"Would you like to go out for Breakfast?" ...


Dusck ...

Eyes are really sore. Seem to go through this phase every few months. Not good.

Do you have dry eyes? That is one of my 'symptoms' at the moment leading to lupus (not saying you have lupus but I KNOW how awful dry eyes are). MrP is always telling me to stop rubbing them, I know I must but they are killing.....

Think I have dry eyes. Should try using Systane.

 

[love_the_life]

Pushka, I think you started a trend to change avatars.

 

[JessicaTam]

And oh so life like.

Well it was modelled on a well known AFFer!

Personally I would go for "Big Brekky"

But for the pedantic the ' is correct. The Fried egg, bacon, chorizo, and etc. are all owned/possessed by the "Big Breaky".
