My German extends as far as "Your mother is 'loose' and 'wide'!" Whilst that isn't much use at the moment, if they dick you around it may be *n |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

She wasn't quite as amused as me and my mates  |

That's a great old classic joke form, I've done that myself before. A few years back me and a mate who was originally from the southern part of the Isle of Skye, so speaks fluent Scottish Gaelic (I spoke a very slight amount of it myself at the time, although it's been a while and I really am starting to forget it, I can say failte and I know a few ways you can toast someone with a glass of whisky in your hand but beyond that I'm really struggling these days) were asked by a quite posh friend from Edinburgh if we could teach her a few bits of Gaelic as she was going to a Burns night celebration and wanted to impress people with how incredibly in touch with her heritage she supposedly was.   So naturally we taught her various things that she thought were incredibly profound and civilised things to say, that were in fact very very offensive, I can't remember any now but none of it was any milder than "you stupid ugly pigs" which we had down as a toast! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Tragically we got found out, she tried practising on us beforehand to get her pronunciation right, and my mate couldn't hold in the laughter at all, so she caught on and the game was up! ;D ;D  Shame, because to this day I have an image of various stuffy traditionalists (read out of touch with the world separationalist SNP supporting swine) fainting into their haggis! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |
