This has potential to be a thread for people to add to all the time, but it may just be a short lived experience whilst I try to get answers to these bad boys:

1) Can someone please tell me what, "You've Got Tweets Mate" means? I see it spray painted on walls in Reading, and it makes me smirk, but I don't have a clue what it represents.

2) The "wench" has been dropping hints how she likes long phonecalls and how she likes late night calls. I have taking the hint and dropped a few 2am calls. However, now it seems like she wants 4 hour+ chatting sessions! Is this normal? Have you been there? How do you keep interest? What topics are golden?

3) When you test-drive a car, do they tell you where to go, or are you able to try a route you want?

Question 1:

tweets

Tweet can mean:
A tweeter can be in reference to a street-salesman of small 'tweeting' devices, which produce a high-frequency sound by dint of expulsion of air though the device. These street-hawkers have been known to incite unprecedented levels of rage in the general populace and, for precisely this reason, the job has fallen out of favour amongst the working classes.

UK colloquialism- "You got tweets mate" or, more commonly, "You got f**king tweets mate," vernacular inclusive

Also

Tweeted

the end result of smoking PCP,AngelDust

"we smoked some dust and were Tweeted."
"he's Tweeted"



(Urban Dictionary)

Question 3 - They tell you where to drive.

Question 3..

When I went for a test drive, the salesman came in the car with me and took me on a small route for about 10 mins.

Thanks for the replies, although I still don't really grasp the "tweets" deal.

Stupidly, I am bricking it a bit about the test-drive as to date I have always had "hand-me-down" cars through the family, and my driving style has become slightly unorthodox over the years since the I passed my test. Hopefully, they will have seen all sorts before though

It'll be fine. I had my first test drive at a garage four days after passing my test and was awful, stalling, harsh braking, you know the usual just passed driving.

3) When I test-drove my car the salesman came with me but let me drive where I wanted. I guess they judge it based on a combination of your age, perceived trustworthiness and how well you say you know the area (I only live five minutes walk from their showroom).

Something I've been wondering for awhile, Why are there two people called Van Dammer on UKFF.

4 hours is a bit much, but I've been there.



Yes.



Depends on the girl. In my most recent experience at least, I was reduced to the phone equivalent of smiling and nodding. I was once on the phone to my sort-of-ex (long story) for about 2 hours and all I said was "Yes", "You're right" and "I know".



Again, it depends on the girl and what you mean to each other. With my sort-of ex, her favourite subject is herself, with my other ex, we'd talk for hours and hours about everything. I actually miss those phonecalls.

Plagiarism.

One has an underscore in their name - There's Van_Dammer and Van Dammer

Whats Pwned mean?

Your phonebill must be fucking huge.




Pwned = Owned.

If you are on the recieving end of a spectacular or amusing mishap at the hands of a third party you have been 'owned'. Variations of the word are pwned, pwn3d, pwnt, pwnd which are used in chatrooms and online games. - it's essentially text speak but the meaning is the same.

'Pwned' in place of 'owned' is a variant of intentional misspellings by a certain type of computer user. It comes from when e-mail filter software would block certain words, and spammers would just get round them by misspelling them ('pr0n' for 'porn' being the most common).

It has it's own special term used to desribe when letters are replaced by numbers or symbols. It's called leet, or L33T speek, which is derived from the word 'Elite'

Maybe somebody in Reading has a certain R&B singer's friend?

Ah I see. Thanks for the swift replies everyone. I remember trying an online puzzle once called 'notpr0n'. I guess that was correct in that it was not pornography. Also it was impossible and I couldnt get past about level 10.

When was the first Rangers versus Celtic match?

Where was it?What was the attendance?What was the score?

Celtic vs Rangers
One of the most heated football matches in the world is the Old Firm derby between Celtic and Rangers. Both clubs play in Glasgow, Scotland and the match is one of the oldest derbies in the world, dating back to 1888, when Celtic first beat Rangers 5-2. The Old Firm derby is also one of the most contested matches in the world, with over 400 games having been played.

The Old Firm match is one of the most fiercely battled in the world and the crowds are rarely disappointed. It splits Glasgow in two and the rivalry is so intense that fans are warned not to wear team colours around the city at any times (Celtic's colours being green and white, while Rangers' colours are blue and red).

The matches are played at either Celtic Park with 60,000 fans or Ibrox Park in front of 50,000. Before an Old Firm game, local news coverage is often of nothing other than the game.

Rangers are considered a Protestant club with unionist and royalist supporters, while Celtic is considered a Catholic club with republican supporters. It is by far the greatest football rivalry in Britain and has long had connections with the political conflict in Northern Ireland.

Rangers currently lead their bitter rivals in terms of trophies won (the most successful in fact in World Football with 107 won in all) and also in the head to head history between the two clubs :-

Rangers F.C. - 242 Wins

Celtic F.C. - 190 Wins

Draws - 137

Whereabouts? I've never seen this on a wall...

There is one down the stairs by Muji and one massive one next to Iguana. I will try to get a photograph.

What's a finger, as in a finger of pint, or drnk three fingers?

As in the finger game? Or is there an actual recognised measurement thats a finger, kinda like what a foot is?

If it's just for the game or any games like it then its just drinking as much as a finger covers, say you've gotta drink 3 fingers it's how far your 3 fingers go when you hold them together while holding the glass from the top of the liquid


I love how I explain things

Right I think I get it, I don't think it's an actual recognised measurement, infact I'm sure it's not.

So ou place the fingers horizontally next to the pint instead of vertically

yea.

When people call others "sad acts" (sp?) what does it mean? I mean in the context of an insult.

Loser

Yeh I know what it means as an insult, but what is a "sad act". Where does the word originate from?

Kevin and Perry Go Large???

I think it refers to the last part of Romeo and Juliet, that is a very sad act.

You see I just tend to trim with like nail scissors or something.

Film directed and starring Harry Enfield from the year 2000. It was an extension of one his character, Kevin the teenager, who in this hit film went to Ibiza and got laid. Not his best stuff, but fairly entertaining.

Quick bump, cos this has been bugging me for a while. Where have I heard "Seacrest.. out"? I know it's that geek from American Idol's catchphrase but I swear I've heard it in a TV show, maybe specifically a cartoon. Any ideas?

I'm 95% sure you've never heard it anywhere else....

I think I might have heard it watching Harvey Birdman, I'll have to keep a look out when I'm watching the episodes I've seen again.

heh, nice... I'll be back up in Reading this weekend, I'll have a look out if I see it anywhere else...

I see you laid down a couple of burners yourself... going over someone else's work! That's bad grafitti etiquette...

Ok another random question, this time about the male body, oh yes. Having been enjoying a tipple with a group of female friends, they brought to my attention that they all find those creases/folds at your lower abdomin and groin area real turn ons.

I lack them, but have always wondered how do you get them? Have I got too much fat in that area? Do I lack muscle? Whats the deal?

Yeah they're generally for skinny cunts, but you can get them by touching your toes regluarly from standing without bending your knees. Might take a while though.
