"You're sat in the departure lounge?"  Is that a thing? :unsure:

aka waiting at the gate - though there are also executive lounges.

It's like when you're sat at hospital.

Past perfect used as an adjective, not unusual. You're exhausted, for example.

Weirdos.  And "Are England going to win the World Cup?"??? What the fuck are that all about?

"Probably American." Thank god, I was worried I might secretly be English.

QuoteYou got: As British as Stephen Fry walking a corgi outside Buckingham Palace

You're awkward. You're easily embarrassed. You're sickeningly polite. You're as British as they come!

:blush:


Same.
Same here, which surprised me because it's been several weeks since I drank tea (unless you could iced tea), and I don't know what a Hob Nob is.

You are exhausted when some activity has exhausted you.  In this case no one or no thing has sat you.  It would make as much sense to say "I don't need any food, I am eaten."

I don't know what a Hob Nob is.

I assumed it was something I actually wanted to eat for the sake of the question.

Also, as an American I don't really have any confidence that England won't win the next World Cup, since I don't follow soccer.
