My computer(s) have been broken for a while, so I couldn't blog, but I replaced my netbook's trodden-on screen the other day, so my life can re-commence!
I have a theory, which has so far stood up to not-very-rigorous tests. It goes as follows: the only two things you need to learn to get by in any language are the words for "thank-you" and "cheers".
Here's my handy list:
- Language Thank-you Cheers
- Esperanto Dankon Je via sano!
- French Merci Sante
- Japanese Oregato Kampai
- Welsh Diolch yn fawr Iechyd da
- Klingon tlho' KaPLAA
- Irish Go raibh maith agat Slainte
I can add the one for German ... thanks is "Danke" and cheers is "Prost". :)
ReplyDeleteHi Rob
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm Nicola, showed you how to meditate the other week at the Cardiff Buddhist Centre.
The Automatic are well cool, and I'm coming to see you with my pal Laura in Ponty on Friday. Is it all right if we come and say hiya?(Shuffles feet, looks down and feels shy)
Hope you are well, take care of yourself, remember no dairy on show days. Keep on truckin'.
all the best,
Nicola
