Hi everyone,

  • When someone has been travelling through the desert for days and has no more water or food he or she might sometimes see an oasis. But when moving closer to it, it doesn’t seem to be there. Is that also called an optical illusion.
    By the what would you call someone who sees an oasis, but it isn’t there?

  • Dining room: in the dining room people have meals, so breakfast, lunch and ofcourse dinner. Would it be correct to say: ‘He’s having dinner in the dining room.’ You see, when I was watching ‘Dynasty’, the Carringtons all had breakfast in the dining room.

  • I know a very nice lady. She always rides a bike. When I meet her in the street, she usually stops riding, steps off her bicycle in order to have a chat with me. But today she didn’t stop riding her bike and merely gave a sort of absent-minded smile. My first impression was: ‘have I done something wrong?’ But my second was: 'well she might have been preoccupied with something very important.

  • Drawing room is old fashioned; is sitting room or living room these days?

P.S.: OTS; I never have breakfast in the dining room, I have it in the -kitchen! :-)) LOL.

Thanks
Alexandro

And there’s going to be a surprise. I’m going to post a lovely picture of mine on the forum. Let me also know what you think about that? Hihihihihiihihihihi.
