Stop messin' about!


I actually have a book called 'How To Speak Chimpanzee'. It's more about the facial expressions and grunts and is well illustrated. It will come in handy as my dream is to have a chimp assistant on stage one day. "Can y'ride tandem?"

Oooh you are awful...but I like you!

I am just about to embark on a crash course to learn Icelandic - I am going out there in February and so far I only know one word.....



....and answering "Yes" to every question could get me in trouble!!!

Welsh is my (equal) first language, I can definitely hold my own in French, I can speak basic German and am starting to learn a bit of basic Italian.

And on top of that, I can speak English too!! Gosh being naturally bilingual is great!!

I can speak Cantonese at a conversational level (I'm not fluent by any means). I can also swear in Italian and Portuguese. And as seige pointed out earlier, I confess to being fluent in Utter B*ll*cks, too. (No disagreement from my wife on that one then).

I'm fluent in Spanish, and can survive in all the Latin languages, except Romanian and Romanche.

I can just about get by in Polari. I am quite bona as a joggering omee!

I lived in Spain for a year, you'd think I should be able to speak at least a bit. All I can do is order beer really, and ask where the toilets are; but to be fair, that's all you really need when in spain isn't it?

Other than in English I'm fluent in German (since I am German - no surprise there), my Spanish is pretty good and I probably could survive with my French.

Nah, just B*ll*cks.

It's why we created the doves head, etc. It's nice to talk rubbish a lot. The magic chat is a bonus these days.

You need to come alone to one of these TM meet-ups sometime then!

I think I could get along in Nadsat

Listening to a bit of the old Ludwig Van while we still got the chance...
