You say tomato...

Well. The rift has passed. Aoife and I have finally agreed to disagree on the meaning of 'zucchini'. I said it was the American for courgette, she said it was a type of nut. When I took the plunge and printed off the definition from the internet, she changed her tack, saying that I had claimed it was American for eggplant, so I was still wrong (In Aoife's mind, it is not that she is right, but that Lucy is perpetually wrong). This is ridiculous! I would never confuse zucchini with eggplant, mainly because I know they are both American for something. I can't rightly say what eggplant is American for but I'll venture it is not a nut. Nor 'courgette'. Is it that bulbous purple vegetable? I don't know anything anymore. I am starting to doubt my knowledge of even the simplest vegetables, which is a sad way to be.

WTF? You're all freaks. I wish I had a 3 legged dog. I'd call him Robin, after the Reliant Robin (It's a 3 wheeled car).

Lucy you are one of the biggest liars I have ever ever EVER come across in my life. I live with you, I know a great deal about you, I have access to your blog and yet you persist in your complete fabrications of what were never even truths in the first place. I am no longer accepting this behaviour. From now on (or at leat once a year) I am going to highlight every lie you tell...
