5 words would be nice - "you are the lottery winner"

That made me laugh out of my seat! :laugh:
I musn't tell anyone i've just won it then. TIP TIP WINK WINK!

I have to agree with Olrac on that one :D .

I did say at work about two years ago that if I won the lottery I'd give up work, (but I would have to do voluntary work though to stop the boredom), I did win the lottery that night , but only £10
:O .

Favourite English language word I would have to say is Love, I also like Hobbits, Wizard, Freedom, and Queen (well I'm nuts on Queen).  I like the sound of Carburettor and also Locomotive,  not forgetting Spring, Diesel, Petrol Fire, Electric,Thunder Lightening,  Moon, stars , Stone as in Rolling ones. Zeppelin  and Fish.
Does Ommadawn also count as an English word??
When it comes to swear words I love F*** ryymes with duck and another favourite is B****er.  
When I worked at the old folks home one of the residents was Violet, and if I went in to help her get dressed I would say "Good morning Violet, how are you today, and she'd reply "Buggered if I know" .  One morning she asked me how I was ,and I replied "Buggered if I know " yes i could have a laugh with her.

About the longest word in the English language I would say it's "Parahumanoidarianised" which was made up for the Queen song "Machines (Or Back To Humans), which can be found on The Works album, or B side of I Want To Break Free 45 .

I'm going slightly mad,
It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad

If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

Are you sure it's not pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis? That's the longest one in the dictionary, at least.

Talk about swear words, I really do like the word fuck and most of its derivatives. I can't think of other swear words that I like, though.

Spiritual. Maybe because it's such an ambiguous and mystical, yet useful word when used to describe certain experiences we might have when trying to understand life, the Universe and everything. In other words, it's nice that we don't have to go crazy with existential angst - we can go spiritual.
Whatever that means. :laugh:

evil

... but be careful ... saying it three times will awake the dark side of me.

I will get a furry face ... long teeth ... and cruel things might happen!

"Spitfire" - it just has a nice flow to it, I was travelling on a train on The "Battlefield Railway " (see heree, a preserved railway line in Leicestershire) http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/chrissimmons/

with my boyfriend on Sunday, he was looking out of the window, and I suddenly heard him call out "Spitfire" , I replied "Where???" Indeed the sound of those Rolls Royce Merlin engines is very distinctive :cool:
.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OF0v1dwYC8&feature=related, a most beautiful sound  :)  :D . I do sometimes wonder how a machine built as a weapon to fight wars can be so beautiful   ;) , I do think the Spitfire is a beautiful looking machine, and also ahead of it's time, the greatest aircraft ever produced see here for specs http://www.battleofbritain.net/0011.html
