Daydream Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Had a filling at the dentist last Monday. He must’ve have nicked the inside of my mouth (which I obviously didn’t feel at the time) as I’ve had a c**t of an ulcer since and it’s showing no signs of disappearing [emoji34]Maybe it’s actually some tropical insect has somehow made it here and has laid eggs in your mouth. Don’t be so hasty to blame your dentist, like you said you didn’t feel anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As and when I get invited on 'Desert Island Discs', I'm going to have to pick songs I don't like all that much so it doesn't spoil the songs I really do like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The word 'door'. Why the double-o? If 'dore' had been used up for something else, then perhaps it may be slightly acceptable. But it hasn't. Bore, core, fore, gore etc, not boor, coor, foor or goor. Stupid language. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever we would whinge about how hard French was she'd launch into a similar tirade about how difficult English was in comparison to French. Using similar examples too.

Long may the fun continue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a similar note, years back I worked in a restaurant as a waiter and one of my colleagues was Polish. He was a great guy who actually spoke very good English and was always great at the job. One night some c**t was in on an oil and gas works do and stopped him as he was passing the table 'go and get me a glass of tinto, my man'. He was confused as to what he wanted and kept asking him to repeat, the guy would not budge and just kept saying tinto about four times. Eventually he asked me for some advice and I informed him the guy wanted a red wine. The guy looked at me and nodded as if to say 'yeah, you knew what I meant'. I wish I'd lamped the horrible c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I've not visited France since I was a teenager tbf, just passed through CDG and Montreal during transit in recent years. I've noticed that Air France staff don't take it particularly well though. In a former life as a tour guide, I once saw a proper heads gone from a French customer after I gave part of the tour in German for one of the kids but I couldn't give anything for French. Everybody got a whole lesson on the French Empire for free. When he brought up Namibia as being the German Empire, me letting him know I'd been there more recently than France simply poured fuel on the fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst working as said tour guide, I was going out with one of the two Polish girls that were seasonal workers at the local restaurant. The two of them chatting away in Polish became a standard thing (which I never minded tbh) but after a couple of months, I memorised a sentence (something like "I need to nip over to the shop, I'll be back shortly") that I said before running off for a bit. To say there was a look of utter horror when they thought I'd understood everything they'd been saying for week upon week would be an understatement. I found it funny. She did not. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other guide gave his tour in best broad 'Fife' when a French couple said "don't try French, speak as you would". They just sat there and I can only imagine they caught nothing of it. ETA for a proper PTTGOYN: Scots that speak French with the full blown super-nasal one's best French accent. I've never seen a French person put on any English or Scottish accent over this side of the Channel when they roll out the English.

Stellaboz Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'm general I found Parisians really nice when I was there recently. One or two were a bit off but on the whole, very nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't make some attempt to sound like French speakers do you'll be incomprehensible. Spanish are the worst for it when they try to speak English using Spanish sounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
