thanks for the loan

Ok Md - You call me a non-english speaker _ I say that logic prevails by telling you, you dumb fuck, that THIS precedes NEXT is obviously the logical conclusion; as in this year, this WEEK, this Month etc. Surely even dumb fucks, can understand simple shit; but then again it may be too complex for someone like you to grasp. Ask yor girlfriend mate, she might interprut for you as you're obviously not a NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER yourself.

Obviously intelligent folk - be proud. You're a notch up on most

Some just people can't handle being wrong... :)

^ Yep, really the shits ain't it. and spent so much time trying to dazzle the intelligent with bullshit.:rofl:

The intelligent, blackgang ? I wouldn't get into an war on words with someone as obviously unarmed and unprepared for battle as your good self. And your statement, MD, explains my point quite succinctly and on this occasion, I actually agree

I explained that to him over a beer last night and dave did not take that gracefully.
WHATS NEXT ???

^ What's Next?

I dunno. What was last?

Davearn is spot-on. To get to next weekend you must first get past this weekend, which is the one coming up.

Ask yourself this?

Today is Monday - When does NEXT WEEK start.. Sunday
When does NEXT WEEK END. Saturday
The END of NEXT WEEK is NEXT WEEKEND
Jeez - it ain't rocket surgery !

^ You're still wrong though... :poke:

Mmmmm..............

You've got the bull by the arm there.

Intentional mix Lily, as it seems common sense, logic and all the things we learnt in school do not apply in this thread

It's a cultural thing not defined by language. To the southern english there's no such thing a this weekend.

To everybody else it's this week for the comng week and next week for the week which follows. Marmite when in Rome matey..

Eh? So when using my language that comes from my country, I have to do it wrong because of others' limitations?

Uh, ok.

I would assume it was the next weekend, otherwise he/she should say - "Not this weekend but the one after".
