welshblue 2,648 Report post Posted October 15, 2018 Being a bit of an amateur etymologist (sad I know) but technically both of them are true for the UK. Shakespeare can be partly attributed to the demise of the use of Fall in the UK, ( possibly Chaucer much earlier) When the New World was developing it fell out of favour here and it stems from the old english word Feallan Gonna crawl back into my box now 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

welshblue 2,648 Report post Posted October 22, 2018 2 days 5 hrs 32 minutes ... Although not sure which is safest - smoking or giving up. I'm on Champix tablets and they give you really really weird dreams. Last night I was being attacked by a wolf with an axe ... and woke up when my wife battered me for biting her on the neck ... the swollen lip would make a cigarette uncomfortable today, so maybe the tablets do work ? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
