SlipperyP Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I've only played squash once. Fives was cancelled, so me and the brother-in-law had a game. He had played with folk from his work. I destroyed him. Retired with a 100% win ratio. I've got very good eye to hand coordination from my childhood (no friends), all I did was play out the garden for hours, kicking a ball (football/rugby/tennis/cricket) in the air then catching it again, had a league table with teams that I used to play against myself. Times were much simpler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 We visited my folks at the weekend. They had been having a clear out and found an old guide book to Cuba that they bought in advance of going there on holiday in 2004. They gave it to my son as it had some Spanish in it, and he did Nat 5 Spanish at school. When we got home he was looking through the 'common phrases' section of the book and showed it to me. These phrases included "Help, I'm being robbed," "A child is drowning," "He's losing blood," "Show me your passports please" and so on. Not sure who thought these were common phrases in Cuba! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably written by a Yank who's been brought up thinking Cuba is full of nasty Commies and bad things happen there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who thought these were common phrases in Cuba!I bought a Twi-English phrasebook in Kumasi. There were some absolute belters in there "my mother's gone to work and locked me in the house", "the landlord's extorting me" and the classic (which I still know how to say) "don't shake your hips at me, bad girl". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
