Today I've discovered that I am 1/3 Brittish, 1/3 Canadian and 1/3 Calafornian.
i kept yelling out the answers... i have a toque.
i can see the pennines from my English's balcony. they are quite pretty.
offside is a lengthy explanation! but isn't it basically when too many of the opposing team are near the goal before the ball has crossed the mid-line. mmmm my english is the goal keeper so i need to learn the rules for footy.
dogs bollocks is a very good thing.
scraps... i think it's bread. white bread maybe with some butter, so you can make a chip butty. mmmmm... double up on carbs.
did i get any right? oh i got like all the california questions right of course!
A gold star for each of you.
