Morning all. Mornin June.
Well what a nice surprise Louise. I get up this morning and theres another chapter waiting for me!
If Junior doesnt stop what we over here call "faffing about" and make her damn mind up, I can see Ennis loosing his patience with her completely..I am!! grrr. She really has got to decide once and for all what shes going to do. I love the banter between Ellery and Wes too. Made me laugh when Ellery told him he was being a good boy watching "normal" porn and Wes replied that he really didnt need to know that lol. Priceless.
Right, lets get crazy mad Curt and faffing silly Junior sorted out and get those boys back together for some tender moments.

Souxi, I agree. I'm getting to the stage where I want to give that girl a good shake. "Faffing about" - I like that phrase too! It quainter than some of the alternatives.

I'm dying here... learning a new word:  "faffing."

[souxi]

Hahahaha, I,m glad you like it Louise lol. Heres another one for you then. When Ellery has made a mistake at work Like not checking a statement properly or just generally overlooked something he shouldnt have, we would say hes made a "pigs ear" of it...which means he,s made a hash of it, or messed it up. So there ya go, two new words, faffing and pigs ear. Oh and faffing could also be fannying about as well lol.

One of my faves is "arsing about", although that's perhaps less quaint! Glad to see another English fan of E & E. I love your pic at the bottom of your posts. Quite agree, sex on legs lol

In Oz it's called fart-arsing about or buggerising around.

Meanwhile Curt's behaviour would be called a dummy spit.

Hey there Kate, nice to see a fellow Brit. He is sex on legs isnt he? Very long legs too and he,s got great thighs, I do like a bloke with good thighs.

Thanks ladies for all the great new words I've learnt today!  I especially like "faffing" about and "arsing" about! 
I guess it's no use naming some of the Dutch expressions, is it??   

[louisev]

only if you tell us how to pronounce them...!
