I made the mistake yesterday of greeting an American on gChat with 'ay up'.  I was met with general puzzlement.

'Ay up' is Yorkshire-speak for 'hello' and is usually followed by the endearment 'chuck' or 'duck' (personally, I prefer duck).

I have an entire repertoire of phrases that will bamboozle people not from round these parts...what about anyone else?  Care to share your favourite local colloquialisms (<<<Google is telling me I'm spelling that right so I'm leaving it be)?  

Maybe we can all learn some interesting new slang :D

Ta (a.k.a. Thank you)

P.S.  Two campfires in twenty-four hours....someone take the matches away from me before it gets dangerous.

FYT - although I'm of the opinion that he's too posh to know anything other than the Queen's:

I have this curiosity, if somebody knows anything about it. Robert Pattinson is already doing Water for elephants (nice photos) so I suppose he has finished with Bel Ami already (Poor boy, he works all the time!!) . Now, we have been told that in Bel Ami there are lots of love scenes with beautiful actresses ... but not one still has surfaced  (well, one, but not very exciting).  How come?

Happy Saturday Everyone!

Does anyone remember a fic where E & B were together in high school ( i know, I know) then Tanya sees E at a dance and decides to break them up?  B ends up married to Mike and E, of course, ends up married to Tanya (psycho).  E & T end up moving in next door to M & B and then everything falls apart.  E & B fight their still raging attraction and finally realize it is futile.  Long story short, Mike and Tanya end up being a bit off balance.  When B becomes pregnant, Mike just wants the baby and Tanya just wants her dead.

Any ideas?  I can't remember the name of this one at all......

Thanks...

I am Camilla, I am Italian and I am about to become a grandmother. I was already a member of ADF but it is the first time I maifest myself here. I am quite active as a fanfiction writer, as I have posted 12 stories on Twilighted net and on Fanfiction net. Presently I am trymg to write a sequel to may latest story "The Parachutist" but it is a slow going, due to some RL events and the fact that I don't find it easy to continue, but I feel that I should. .

Enough for the moment. I'll try to figure how this site works and what I can do for it and what it can do for me. For instance, is there a place where one can post profile and contact details and see other members profile?

But, if you need some sentences translated into Italian or edited I will be pleased to do it. I do it for other authors too. I can be reached as Camilla on twilighted or as Camilla10 on ff. I am also on the TCS Library, but it is not a very responsive site, I must say.

Ciao

It means that the ADF PROJECT POSTCARD has officially received postcards from 

ALL SEVEN CONTINENTS

I still only have up the International Postcards HERE because I didn't have time at work on Friday to take the rest of the US pictures but they will be up Monday evening.

But let me say that I am crazy giddy happy about how successful this is.

So fill in this blank.....

______makes me crazy giddy happy!

It can be a person, place, thing, youtube vid, picture, gif...whatever. I just want this to be a HAPPY CAMPFIRE!!

I kinda love this shoot.

SHOW ME PICTURES FROM YOUR FAVORITE TWILIGHT STARS PHOTOSHOOTS!

I just got this thru my email and I wanted to share since the video looks awesome, tell me what you think of it, this is the official video for his first single removed

Hello campers.

I am really excited because I only need to wait 19 days 17 hours and a couple of minutes for the World Cup to start, but who is counting?

I want to know who is your favorite player? team?

Mine is Uruguay (even though I know we are not gonna win)

and my favorite player is Diego Forlan

BTW if you don't watch the Wolrd Cup you are missing a whole lot of yummy men (shirtless at the end of the matches)

DID YOU NOTICE GOOGLE TODAY?

WELL, YOU CAN CLICK ON "INSERT COIN" AND FREAKING PLAY PACMAN ON THE GOOGLE HOMEPAGE

IT'S TO COMEMMORATE THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF PACMAN

omg i'm so old

edited to point out that i'm pretty sure i spelled commemorate wrong and i would google it but then i'd just end up playing pacman again for 20 minutes

Here are two movies i want to see.

Nikki Reed in the last summer:

And Ashley Greene in skateland

Do you think these movies are going to be any good? I know that the nikki movie will be but Ashley kind of sucks as an actress (example: summer's blood).

What movie do you want to see?

I need something new to read....I just finished reading Devil's Pitchfork...so if y'all could rec me something with a lot of action with a plot like Detruit or EP that would be awesome...I am in a kickass, blood and guts kinda mood...so sock it to me and give me your recs

 So I know this is random but I'm going on a cruise to Mexico soon for a family reunion and I was wondering if any of you knew if walkie talkies would work on the boat and in Mexico. I can't use my cell phone because international charges but I need a way to get ahold of relatives that are staying on different decks without making meeting times that will ruin the spontaneity of the trip...

Let me know if you know any thing about this or have any alternative ideas...

Also, to make this interactive, what is the best vacation spot you've ever been to?

Its still Friday where I'm from so I hope this is okay...

So apparently i am one of the complete idiots of the world.... the girl that i was watching tonight thought i wouldn't notice that she stuck pillows under her blanket before sneaking out of the house (she's 17). She had asked me earlier today if her boyfriend could stay the night and I told her no because I didn't want to be in deep shit with her mom.... so after finding that she has infact snuck out of the house i pack up my stuff and am out the door back to the comfort of my own bed, but not before leaving a note for her expressing said feelings of how she thinks I'm a complete idiot. The part that pisses me off is that i have to be up for work in less than 6 hours and am now not even close to falling asleep. I only post this here because the best friend is not answering her phone so that i can vent (not that i blame her it is after 12:30)

Do you need to vent? if so what about?

happy birthday, pulsepoint

i love you.

omg lol

I've been watching disney  the whole day, I'm all giddy and believe unicorns exist right now. I love the classics, the old school stuff, even though I love Finding Nemo and all the new animations that are on the big screen right now, the classics will never get old to me, ever.

Tell me your favorite disney classics, or your favorite disney characters (and I'm counting The Princess and the Frog as part of the classics, that movie besides being great was also a srs attempt from disney to go back to their true essence, imo).

This are mine:

And these two are my favorite characters.

Hey all!

I went shopping today. Never a good sign.

But I got a job today that requires clothes other than jeans and t-shirt, so off to the store I go.

I spent WAY too much money.

But I NEEDED these:

I also bought 6 shirts, 4 dresses, and 2 pairs of pants =/

So, to make me feel better, what clothing item did you last buy?

When was your last major shopping trip? (I hate trying on clothes, so I got about 3 times a year and buy a lot at once...)

What do you LUST over?

I myself want these, but cannot buy b/c they are not "practical" BOO:

Alternatively, tell me when you last cleaned out your closet. As I am coming back from college, I just cleaned out my clothes (see, it's ok that I went shopping!!!) and gave away 3 trash bags full of clothes to the Salvation Army.

OK IT'S ME AGAIN!

YES! I'm asking for MORE completed fics. But I have SPECIFICS this time!

A nice Edward. And I don't mean "oh he's sort of a douche at first"...unless it's like Bare or..you know...Twilighty situation where he thinks it's for her own good to be a douche.

No manwhores. I want nice men who I would consider dating. He can have snark, just not be a douche. He can be depressed, he can even be angry (hey, I like that)....just not a douche. The Port Angeles Players was an awesome rec and an awesome example. 

I can handle some angst, but at the moment I'm just...yea. Angst is OK if the characters stick together. I don't want a billion different misunderstandings on top of whatever angst already exist.

Did I give you a good challenge? Probably, since I will have probably read  half the stuff you give me. Which, if you guys want rec's for this sort of thing, I'm good at rec's...or if you want rec's for other things. I read a lot.

so i dont know who has talked about this yet, but im sure you all have at least heard about them. the mtv movie awards.

the twilight stars are up for many categorys, including best kiss, and best movie.

http://www.mtv.com/ontv/movieawards/2010/about.jhtml

so who are you voting for?

to be honest. i only voted for a twilight related item once. and that was kstew for Global superstar.

Okay ladies I promise this is the last campfire I will post about this...woohoo one more week!!! Anyway...so the guestlist so far for Saturday evening on the Warf/Pier is Chicklette and another fellow twi-girl and friend Trisha will be joining the ranks, and possibly muffnbutter for Sunday afternoon...we have found out the jist of what we want to accomplish while in San Francisco...

On Saturday we will most likely be meeting up at the Pier around 3 or 4 PM...again if anyone is interested in joining in the fun PM me...so I know who I will be looking for...ohh and its supposed to rain so dress warm and bring an umbrella

We were thinking of Ripleys Believe it or Not(15$) and there is this new attraction called Magowan's Infinite Mirror Maze(5$) and dinner at the Rainforest Cafe..and of course shopping is in the agenda somewhere...we were also thinking of going to Haight and Ashbury earlier that day...cuz we all have never been so yeah if you know of other things we could do while on the pier feel free to tell us...Sunday is still up in the air but we will most likely be going to the Exploritorium(15$) and possibly the zoo(15$) not sure yet though

Anyways it would be cool to meet some of the ADF chicks from that area..and I cant wait to get out of the mountains for a few days...lord knows my brain needs a mental reprieve from this place...haha...so yeah Cali girls where are you!?!?!?

Oh and some pretty for your time
