Do you have a large selection of games and consoles etc Fritz! My son is quite a keen gamer. He had a go at teaching me to play Minecraft when he was younger. I was absolutely useless. It must have been quite painful to watch!:sob::wink:

To avoid confusion, it’s easy if we say that the English language has three variations: British English, American English, Australian English. :smiley:

Yes, of course, this one too.

Yes I have quite a few games. Minecraft is one of them. I only have one console at the moment. I wish I had several but I don’t have enough money for that. I have an Xbox Series S.

My favorite game is a shooter called Fortnite. Helps me wind down after a rough day.

Welcome to the forum Fritz it’s good to have you aboard…
Don’t worry about the approval thing, it’s the bots picking up on the odd word that we aren’t supposed to use… :009:
You’ll soon get used to what words not to use…
In the meantime, the members bar is now open…

It’s just the way I tell them. Two eggs in a pan of boiling water. One egg says to the other it sure is getting hot in here. The other egg replies this is nothing to what comes next. They smash your head in or slice it off
