Is it an expression or something was changed in your live? :D

Actually I'm confused by what you wrote :D

early twenties 20-24
mid-twenties 25-26
late twenties 27-29

Sort of. 8)

I didn't put an exact age because it can bias how people perceive you, like the lady who was 48 and asking for a penpal. I imagine many people here are much younger than her.

I think he read it as 'I became a female in my late twenties'. :)

I just tried to joke. :D
Your words remind me a cartoon about Karson. He is a man "в самом расцвете сил". :D

Hi, Eve!

Hi, Eve!

I would like to become a penpal for you. My name is Diana, I am female in my mid twenties, married and living in Russia. Probably, I could try to help you in learning Russian.

I think it would be better to ex-change by private messages... Do not mind?
You can write me: veno2@rambler.ru

I would be glad to hear something from you!

Sincerely, Diana :D

Buses with two storeys, for which London is famous for.

aha but why ask me if I'm using big buses, is the part I don't get.

DoubleDecker is also a nice chocolate bar.

I don't think that he meant you personally, I think he meant why British people use them, because as far as I know there are no such buses in Russia (except those intended for the long journeys). But anyway I agree that it's rather strange to ask you about it, probably he was joking.

Intresting, is it because it has two layers?

LOL who knows! and yes you are correct it does have two layers. The top is nougat the bottom is like biscuit and it's covered in chocolate.

There are Double Decker tacos, too, at that one place. But they're not very good, heh.

I heard they stopped making those famous double decker buses and that by 2006 there will be no more on the roads :(
Do you know about this Eve?

I'm not sure, but I haven't seen any new double deckers. They have "bendy-buses" now (what a stupid name) which are like two single decker busses joined together by a bendy thing like those things that join modern train carriages, so they are more flexible, so they can be longer, yet still able to turn corners.

If it's true it's really sad :( , I always loved them.

I just search for like half an hour and I couldn't find one thing about them being discontinued. I heard it on CNN. Perhaps they are trying to keep it hush-hush so that no one protests? Maybe these 'bendy-buses' are going to replace them? Either way it's a shame...

Haven't heard about this. I think they will keep them in places like London that has sight-seeing tours from the these double decker buses. Makes it easier to see from high up!

Well, I for one am happy they are doing away with the double-decker busses in London. Double-decker busses are a symbol of the oppression of the Irish people. :x

Go n-ithe an cat thu is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat! :evil:

Not really. It was just that everyone was so friendly in this thread, I thought it needed a little controversy. :wink:

Yes. and "bendy" buses in Moscow are a symbol of opression of Chechen people.
