    I'm the only one here who doesn't know this

    Okay, I am having a brain fart, I know I posted this question on another thread, but can't find it. Quite simply, What does ATS stand for?

    American Tribal__________? (style??).w.:

    Ha! You bhuzzers are fast... Now why is the BHUZ site spelled with an "H" ?

    I have no clue why Bhuz has an "h" in it.

    Might be mundane, but it makes us different. And we all know already how different we really are anyway (now don't we). ..l;,

    Now we need to have yet another one of those interminable threads about how to pronounce "Bhuz"...

    I say B'hoooze - but I know most do say Buzz...

    Re: I'm the only one here who doesn't know this

    I only know one other person who pronounces it like you do Zorba. She's English. I'm sure there are more out there though ...

    I always say "buzz". But with a Northern English accent of course. The Queen would be more likely to say "Bazz" like they almost say "cap" instead of "cup". But then she would definitely give the "h" a little bit of space in there because really posh English people somehow manage to pronounce the "h" in "while", "what", "white" and stuff.

    Read something about the queen the other day. Whenever there's a do on at their gaff, if Dancing Queen comes on she always gets up for a boogie. She is quoted as saying "well I like to dance, and I am the Queen after all".

    Cool eh? I can just see her.

    Haha! The Queen is like the rest of us. I admit I dance whenever I hear that Red Elvises song, or Stop Stop Stop (though I am forbidden by the Belly Police to wear a jewel in my navel), or even (horrors!) Akon's Bellydancer.

    We dance what we ARE, ya know...

    Somehow Elizabeth dancing to Abba wasn't exactly the sort of dancing queen I've imagined.

    Tell me all UK'ers, from where I sit the Queen looks pretty down to earth, is that your opinion? What is the national attitude towards her?

    (This still fits on this thread as it is something else I don't know lol)

    Re: I'm the only one here who doesn't know this

    Have you seen the film / movie with Helen Mirren playing the queen? She does a magnificent job (Mirren that is, although lots of people say the Queen does too. I dunno, not really thought about it much). I pretty much see our Liz as how Helen Mirren portrays her - not easy to wind up, stoic, hard working, a bit fed up with it all really, but a sense of humour and a real sense of humanity, which her parents seemed to have too.

    I'd hate it. No Bhuz for a start. Ha but I'd have a really nice hip belt and matching tiara!

    I have always called it Buzz. I have a friend who pronounces it Booze, which is OK by me except that it makes us all Boozers.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Not a bad thing, booze. But confusing in a context like, "Got a tape measure on you? A bunch of boozers are asking for my measurements." (She swaps a lot.)

    Boozers measuring things is probably dangerous.
