FFS, the Spar only had Swan Rizlas.
Twat, Swan Rizlas are shit, they don't stick properly.
I know but they didn't have any Rizla Rizlas

Another example is:

I want to blow my nose, give me a Kleenex.

For instance, you might say that a girl stuffs her bra with Kleenex.

I was 20 before I learned that the generic term was "paper tissue".

The only people who use "rolling papers in the US are making joints (or spliffs as you seem to call them).

oh noze! :ohmy: after a long and mysteries journey, the cooperative made it known that they are in fact, sold out! :unsure: i questioned the shop keep, but he let nothing slip, his years of training had served him well today :ermm: had there been a cream crises during the night? :unsure: will i have to venture further out into town, the main land :unsure:

from what I can remember, buses on a Sunday run at three hour intervals, if i could somehow board one of these vessels, the truth would be no more than a 15minute journey away, fraught with suspicious people who also unveil them selves at public transport :ermm: this will indeed be a difficult quest :unsure:

In talking with an English bloke last night about a totally unrelated matter, I discovered a fine example from UK... as he was talking about needing to Hoover the carpet, instead of saying vacuum.
