Do you guys call a garage a car-port?

hawkchucker · **Reply #1 on:** February 02, 2008, 02:39:37 AM

I know a apartment is a flat. A trunk is a boot, a hood is a bonnett, and Mr. Bean is evil!!!!

It had to happen eventually.

It always happens.

The "What is it called in your country" thread.

Oh well, let the merriment continue.

A garage is enclosed, a Carport is some gazebo tent thing.

I'm keen to reattempt some Multi vids, just to help even the score with US and Canadian voiced Youtube vids.

Vegemite is the single greatest invention known to man.

Made from the stuff left in a vat after you brew beer, it is simultaneously delicious, healthy, and a great way to recycle!

What needs explaining about Men at Work?

Other than that the title sounds a little...fruity.

hawkchucker · **Reply #10 on:** February 02, 2008, 03:20:17 AM

Ok so you take the garbage out of vats, that even third world refugees refuse to touch and you..... Eat it.

Open letter to the United Kingdom:

More Spice Girls, less Men At Work.

Carport = carpark

Garage is either a garage or a petrol station

I have to disagree. IMHO duck tape is the single greatest invention in history. It's the ULTIMATE multi-tool.

Gorilla Tape has everything that duct tape has, and more!

Gorilla tape is simply high strength duck tape. Plus there's this which is similar

I reckon Vegemite would make pretty good sealant in a pinch.

I'll use some next time I do a bit o' plumbing.

Lol, no. Me and the wife started off a little oddly so asking out for tea never really came up.

Well it's a long story, but I have lived with her since the first night I met her. So although we have only been together just over 3 years we know a lot more about eachother than your average couple.

WhichDawg · **Reply #27 on:** February 03, 2008, 12:42:47 AM

from the first day you met you've been/lived together?! wow
Love at first site or did you spill a barrel of crazy glue on her?

No we met as she was a friend of a friend and while we were out she fell out with her parents. So being the decent guy I am I said she could stay round mine for the night. Well that was over 3 years ago now and she's still bloody here and now she's my wife and we have 2 kids.

Can't quite see where I went wrong.
