Dave GaGa has let me know what half a sour pickle is. It would be interesting to know how other things have different names across the pond. Like spring onions here, are scallions over there.

Not normal wrestling no Darlo.
He has expressed an interest in getting a selection of favourite ladies to wrestle.

Blizzie I might have mixed you up on the GB forum, but didn't you use cruise liners and I called you P & O Stenna Lady.

Yes, we do hope to include American forums at some point. I think it would be very interesting to have cross-discussions between UK and American fans of Big Brother, for example...since the shows are not exactly the same.
On the subject of weird names for things...we used to have a CTO from New Zealand, and he taught us all kinds of things about different words. We had major discussions about crisps, chips, and crackers...

My cousin from New Zealand calls all sweeties (candy for our American friends) lollies, even if they aren't lollipops

lol Rosemary, I knew chips would come into it. You know that chips here are what you call french fries. Crisps are your potato chips. Crackers lol!

One of the weirdest differences I have come across is that what Americans call 'graham crackers' we call digestive biscuits!
