Re: International Café Donny Brook!

Hello, everybody! Seldom a visitor as I am, I want to let you know that I always keep in mind this little cappuccino place where one can forget to be serious and just chirp and chat around -- even if the chatting mostly feels like chatting to yourself. Stll good, still lifts you up.
So, are you glad it's autumn in the world? I am. It's October, my favorite time of the year, and the temperature is a bliss! The middle 70s! With the sunshine, it makes the real paradise.
Do you know what donnybrook is? I've just learned this word and even though it actually means "scandal", "heated quarrel", the Irish sound of it -- Donny Brook! Like the name of some beautiful, all green village in the heart of Ireland! -- the very sound of it makes me happy. "Donny Brook" sounds like something you want to be humming around. Or -- to make a new verse. Can't think of any suitable rhyme to "brook" though... except, perhaps, "crook"... Or a Russian word "vdruk"... Maybe I should write bilingual verses?...
Have a most delightful day, everybody! And don't go in for donnybrooks.:lol::up:

Hey to there, Nanette!

Wooow! It looks like I've been wrong about 'donnybrook' since I came accross English Language! :-D I thought that 'donnybrook' used to be said when some brawl was about to happen! Because I was using it as in the meaning of 'brawl', 'hubbub' and 'pother'.

Thanks,
P

Hi, Nanette, well, we're in the last months of the rainy season in Costa Rica, we only have two seasons (warm season and rainy season), so, it doesn't look like autumn right now.
That's an interesting word, you know, "donnybrook", I didn't have any idea about it, I'll follow the advice and I won't go in for donnybrooks!.
Speaking of verses, why don't you join us in Brief Verse? the most poetic thread on earth! ;-):up:

Proof, Sim and Be Real should give you tip, they are frequent clients of the Cafe! (I have my whiskey shots in the bar around the corner!) :lol::up:

SUD had never served coffee for me :roll: Sim always does:cool:..without tip;-)
but, what about you dear wil?:)

And nice to have you again here, prof mero:-D
 
Sorry, I forgot to ask..

what do you mean by

Your L.F.
In letter writing the L.F. is used and it means lovingly friend. Just like you write yours truly in a business letter which is formal, you write Your L.F. to your friend.

Your L.F.

aha. its formal, do you know i hate writing in English I have to confess that I`m so bad at it.. and the worst thing i had to learn in high school to learn writing letters, I cant even distinguish between formal and informal letters.

wow I look horrible. but I think I`ll be fine, I have to concentrate more thats all .

Finally, I appreciate your explanation. thank you...
 
Be real, Idli-Sambar-Chatni just for you.

Hey guys, lot of great dishes in the café, Yumi!

Today I had (another) meeting for our school newspaper whose new name is "Ipse Tassit" (from latin "ipse dixit" he (himself) said. We mixed it with Tasso, the name of our school)...

Tomorrow I'll meet Ska (the Francesca who is leading this project) to talk about layout and sponsors.
Then I'll go to an Aikido demonstration, as usual I'm the photographer...

Now I'll do some homework for Monday. We'll have a Greek test with Aorist tense (and, forgive me for the bad word, it's bloody difficult).
That's why I'm doing all the written exercises today, I need the weekend to practise my ancient Greek...
And on Sunday I'm going to our "cottage" (a small house on an hill), grape-harvest-time!

If you want to ask things like:
- What's Aikido?
- WTH, a newspaper? I dunno anything!
- Why do you have a cottage?

Feel free to post them. I'll be very glad to have a little rest and reply you.

Hello, everyone, this is Aikido. I'm not a fan of martial arts, but anyway, check the picture, the guy who is upside down must be thinking "gee, I'll kill the guy who recommended me this thing, next time, I'll take cha cha cha lessons! :lol:"
