watch and weep

Anyone else is welcome to join in

Oh no, Anya, I am rolling on the floor laughing - with you not at you
Whilst Alanis Morrissette belts out 'Isn't it Ironic'

Now I can't get up again

Thanks Craicion

ROFL - roll on floor laughing.

Thank you Jane for those. Cheered me up no end.

What does ROFL mean? It sounds rude

I'm not in the least offended Maisie as I hope you realise

chewbacca
I thought that Anya was being ironic and my laugh was meant to be with her, not at her.

I apologise if people can't see the irony implicit in sniggering over people's ignorance yet insisting, particularly in the case of the Leave vote, that all voters are incredibly well informed.

Anya - it's like rain on your wedding day!

Just for you:

Envelopegate

Must go and do something sensible now
(I can't think what though)

Anya ROFL

Definitely Brexit and not forgetting envelope gate either.

Oh yes, you're right Anya. And Brexit too, don't forger Brexit.

I blame 1) tree pollens 2) Trump 3) the Serotonin Transporter Gene

I'm right there with you Anya! I just couldn't see what the point of posting a negative post, on such a lighthearted and pleasant thread could be!

I think I've wandered into LaLaLand ?

Gosh! Your pleasant aren't you? Maisie Why would you laugh at someone who doesn't know what a word means? Not a nice trait that.

Anya

The definition of ironic: " using words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning; containing or exemplifying irony : an ironic novel; an ironic remark. ... of, relating to, or tending to use irony or mockery; ironical." Or, more simply put: "a word used by someone who is trying to appear clever; articulate; better informed than those that he is amongst. Sometimes used in a patronising; condescending or sneering way to indicate that the user has higher intelligence or "clearer vision of reality" than those around them"

not the Oxford definition but undoubtedly what was meant on this occasion .

12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair."

??????????

No, I haven't the foggiest what ironic means Maisie ???

What on earth do you mean by that, Anya? Do you know what ironic means?

I'm not finding it ironic after reading your post Maizie

I'm finding this thread extraordinarily ironic when I recall the impassioned defences I've read of 'the people' whose 'will' it is that we leave the EU.

A friend of mine, brought up in New Zealand, won a scholarship to the US when she was seventeen, She spent a year living in an American family and attended an American college.

Part of the deal was that she had to give talks to ladies lunch clubs, Rotary etc.

Her talk was about life in NZ. At the end of the talk she asked for questions and got "Is your hair naturally curly?" and "Where did you learn to speak English?"

Glad you all enjoyed it
