I can answer that! 
A fortnight means two weeks!

A boot is the trunk of a car and a bonnet is the hood of a car.
Or is visa versa??

A saloon is a name for an expensive car, 
something like us saying Cadillac over here.
Yes???

Can someone tell me
why they call English people Limeys?

Yes English comes from England, 
but it was us Canadians that refined
the English language eh!
G'day! Hows it going eh?
Then the Yanks tried to learn English but 
they can't spell color like colour should 
be spelled.

I was in jolly old England for a FORTNIGHT in 1972
when the Canadians were in Russia playing hockey.
At that time the English new absolutely nothing 
about Hockey, so I never got to see the final four games.
It was cricket and football!
Bloody hell that was! Had to wait until I got home
to find out I'd missed the most exciting sporting
event in the history of Canada.

Cross a Limey with a Canadian and you get some that says,
"I want to go ome eh!"

It was lots of fun listening to them saying
that WE had an accent! 
They invented the accent the English did.

Now on to something SmartCAM related...
Our MIS department just finished installing
Microsoft Windows 2000 on my PC and both versions
11.5 and 4.5 are still live and kicking!!!
Bloody hell! Long live SmartCAM eh!

You guys must do things alot differently over there than we do. In the US, a

saloon is a place we go to drink beer. I know I have never seen a saloon 
wearing boots. And by the way, what's a "fortnight"?
