If you were stranded on a dessert island
would you head straight for the ice cream or the spotted dick with chocolate custard?

I hate these great and deep philosophical questions so early in the morning.  Is that a dessert island or a desert island?

I've missed very few deserts, myself. And I'm still missing them.

That looks like something JB and his Mermaid tried to feed me. Sadly I was not hungry enough. I think he still has the sandwiches they made too. I hope it all keeps until September 2012.

A spotted what? LMAO! That so has to be a UK thing! I've never heard that one before and I'm sure it doesn't mean what it means here....so I'll take the ice cream. Here, ice cream is in a box...custard comes out of a machine. If the machine was a spotted "richard", umm....you know, I'm not even going to question it. LOL! I think I'll just throw a baseball at ole richard for spiking the custard with...whatever he may be spiking it with. :-Þ

I hope that is not a TOS violation.
And please do not tweet me a pic of that.
and puff on a fag after dessert????
LOL musicman! My first trip to the UK was in 1999. I got asked "have you got an extra fag, Danny?" I was like...huh?" They said, an extra fag?" I sat there like a deer in headlights. I didn't know whether to be offended and say something or go with the flow. I decided to go with the flow and when I once again said "I don't know what you're talking about" the person said "a cigarette Danny, we call them fags here". Well, I cracked up! The same night, after my first show in England (in Wigan...tough town they started me out in) I kept on getting asked for plectrums from people. I had no clue what they were asking me for. Time and time again, can you give me a plectrum Danny?" I kept on saying "a what?" And finally, one of the guys pointed to my necklace which is a golden guitar pick with my name in it with diamonds. So I said, "no you may not have my gold pick!" He says, no, we want a plectrum....you know, like the one you used when you played tonight!" Then it hit me. LOL!! I had never heard of that before. Boy did I get an education on that trip. It's amazing the words the people in England will say freely which here are taken as soo bad. I'd rather have it the Brit way to be honest. Much more accepting of things...and the women....they laugh at insults and come back with stuff that's 100 times worse. You just can't out bust an English lady! It was great for me though because they liked my goofy accent...so I made friends pretty easy over there. LOL....I remember saying "squid" instead of "quid" hahahahahahaha!! Now THAT was embarrassing! :) I must have learned at least 30 words on that trip...God I love England and can't wait to get back there!

Bapu has a good memory. The Mermaid served up a home made Strawberry Pavlova and it wasn't too sad that Bapu wasn't hungry enough as I polished off the complete thing afterward...

LMAO musicman!!! The loo....that killed me! The best was when they were all callin me a "lil git". I thought it was a cute lil pet name....boy was I wrong. Hahahaha!
It really is amazing how much we have changed things. I'll name a few things I learned...
Bird=female
Bloke=male
Pissed=drunk
Round-about=what we call a circle when driving on the road
Boot=trunk of the car
Git=Danny
Loo=toilet
Fag=cig
Plectrum=guitar pick
Quid=cash
Car Park=parking lot
The Shops=stores
Tea=lunch/dinner
Wanker=Danny
Poof=Danny
Suss it=sort it
Limy=got 2 meanings for this. 1 was the UK forces waiting for dropped supplies in lime fields in the second world war, the other was limes and scurvy stories.
What are you on about=what are you talking about. Here, that means "what's your problem" said sarcastically.
I can't tell you how many times I was called a "blutty poof wanka" LOL! I so love that country I tell ya....everyone has a great sense of humor. A bit harsh at times, but once you see what they're about...very caring souls with tough exteriors. But don't upset the women...yikes!

Danny, I can think of one or two more
Bonnet = Hood of an automobile
we complain about standing in long lines = they queue
just to show you how hospitable the Brits are, my ex and I were in London in a queue for a tram ride and looked bewildered and confused, and some chap in a uniform took us to the front of the line and got us going in short fashion

How can I phrase this without getting myself in trouble. I have spotted spotted dick in Southern California. I think it was at a Trader Joe's, but I'm not certain of that.

LOL, Danny The thing is there is a lot of nuance in how these words are said and what they are used in conjunction with. i.e. a british bloke might find it uncomfortable to say you have awesome, killer chops on that guitar so he'd say something like 'you flash git' instead which would actually mean he admired your playing. You flash git... Conversely somebody may call me a miserable git, because indeed I am a miserable git so there it would be completely literal. You can even hear people say something like "Haha, he's a prat ain't he? Nice bastard though" which despite the derogatory terms would generally mean "He's a good bloke with a crazy sense of humour!". Go figure. And what do you mean we have tough exteriors? Are you some kind of bloody poof?...
