Whatever happened to the handsome babe from across the pond that had the Mini? Don't hear from her anymore....

She seemed nice.
 
Rosalind. I posted a similar inquiry a few months ago. I think Basil responded that she drops in every once in a while. Meanwhile, is calling an English woman "bird" the same as calling an American woman "broad"??

No. I'd always thought of "broad" as a somewhat pejorative term, while "bird" was more of a sexist term- more like, but perhpas not so extreme as calling women "babes"....
 
Well, while you guys are trying to make up your mind, I'm going to say, she's one very pretty young lady!

Coming from someone who is living over there, I will take that as gospel. I was thinking in Beatle Speak. Nothing negative intended. She is indeed a nice gal. Or is gal too harsh?
 
Her name is Rosiland - Very nice lady - married with children by the way. She inquired about entering the calendar contest, but it was after the deadline.
 
Good to know she is still in touch. My apologies for the mis-spelling of her name. :smile:
 
When down under, it did not take me long to figure out what a Sheila was...
 
In Beatle speak, an I know 'cos I lived in Scouse-land for 13 years an' me wife's from across the water in Wallasey, a bird is a girl, or one of two big bronzes on top of an insurance company building near the Pier Head. They're called Liver Birds (Liver to rhyme with driver, not giver) and flap their wings when a virgin passes under them. Or so the story goes.
Another term from Liverpool is Judy, regardless of the girl's name - like Sheila down under. Neither is pejorative.
