The shape of things to come....

[DodgyAgent]

I think my point of view carries more rational weight than yours, .

Others will be the judge of that

Much like it's amazing for the foreigners being able to move to this country.

It was not really very amazing...

[Ardesco]

That's really good for your Grandfather Ardesco - well done him - he sounds like an exceptionally bright and gifted bloke. You should be very proud.

Dont, however, assume everyone living in this country learns languages for kicks though eh?

My grandfather is no more intelligent than you or I, he just keeps his mind and body active and refuses to sit there and waste away. I'm not assuming that everybody learns language for kicks, learning the language of the country that you are planning to emmigrate to is hardly learning a language for kicks. It is learning a language so that you can understand and converse with the local populace.

There is nothing stopping your parents from learning Spanish, apart from false barriers that they may have put up by themselves! (They may even have had help putting these barriers up if everybody around them is telling them that they are too old to learn it...)

Presumably he can now chat up eastern European lap dancers, barmaids, waitresses the lot. Lucky sod

Oi Dodgy, have you shagged Denny yet?

[beaker]

Did you make an effort to learn the local language?

As you can see Churchill I am engaged on a long term plan to comfortably get into her underwear. The question is do I need to put on or lose weight?

Tell her you'll cut your margin for her. That should get her excited.

Well, if you want her knickers to fit I should gain a few pounds, she sounds like a tubby lass.

Nah.. I blag it by throwing the occasional 'innnit' onto the end of sentences... when really trying to fit in I use 'ya know whata mean'.

When dealing with posh types of course I dont use these phrases.. I say things like 'toodle pip'.

Learning to speak England is dead easy innit.
