Hopefully not me guys.

Ma Francais n'est pas trop mal je pense. J'etait au sud pres d'Antibes en travail il y a 28 ans. J'espere que je serai a dunkerque mais j'ai des autres voitures avec lesquelles il me faut travailler en ce moment.

A bientot,

Brooky.

I said, " My French isn't too bad I think. I worked in the South (of France) 28 years ago. I hope to be in Dunkerque but I have other cars on which I have to work at the moment "

Yeah dude, read it and weep! Heehee.

Ah merci tout le monde. Vous etes tres gentil!

However my French is nowhere near as good as most of the English spoken
on this forum. I am frequently humbled when I watch television interviews
with people from all over the world whose command of English is amazing, especially when you realize how difficult English is.
Par example; in English many words contain this group of letters;
'ough'.
You would think that this group would always produce the same sound.
Oh no, not in English

Thought (thort), through (throo), rough (ruff) and of course Slough (slaaoo)!

How the hell do foreigners ever get the hang of English?

Brooky.

There you are you see! I rest my case. The whole sad episode is made worse by the fact that she can't actually sing!

Nice one dieselflosse.

What Finnish is difficult, no way!

I'm just writing my final work, here short example of funny words:

...neuvostoliittolaisvalmisteisesta Kd4-apumoottoripolkupyörästä.
