Not to mention this list of the rudest Spanish words and phrases from The List. Which is incorrectly written but I leave it to Alfie Mittington to explain why.
And here's a fabulous
spoof on Donald Trump from a Dutch comedian with a huge talent for
imitating the man's appalling speech mode. And his nonsensical
statements, of course. How History will laugh at the man. And at the
American voters who put him in the White House.
And what on earth to
make of this madness?
The British government
has announced it's going to increase the fine for speeding. If you do
more than 100mph(160kph), the fine will be 150% of your weekly
salary, as against 'only' 100% now. An interesting approach. I wonder
what would happen if it were tried in Spain.
If you're going to
visit the UK, I counsel against ignoring a daughter's advice against
nipping down to the local shopping precinct just before the evening
rush hour starts at 4pm. Even less wise is attempting a short cut
that takes you down narrow lanes and through small villages at this
time of day. Or heading north on the A34 towards Manchester when you really want to
be going south towards Congleton. The only consolation to what might be a very
frustrating experience is the chance to listen to the wonderful
offerings from BBC's Radio 4. Though you can stuff The Archers,
however trendy the story lines are.
A request: I need to
describe Scouse humour to a friend and, astonishingly, a quick google
search throws up nothing adequate. Or even relevant. Apart from the
ever-reliable Perry, can anyone help me out on this? Any definition I
come up with is going to be very biased, of course.
Finally . . . . I've
been able to touch-type since I was 19, a brilliant talent to have
since the dawning of the age of computers and keyboards. But there
are certain words that never come out right. One of these is
'anwyay'. Do others suffer from these black spots? I shall compile a
list of my own, which will surely be of great interest.
