A man one’s was presented a magistrate which ad a considerable library “What you make?” beg him the magistrate. “I do some books” was answered. “But any of your books I did not seen its — I believe it so, was answered the author I mak nothing for Paris. From a of my works is imprinted, I send the edition for America; I don’t compose what to colonies.”



(or as the case may be.)

[NickFitz]

Of course, any phrase book must needs offer advice about conversing with a hairdresser, and Pedro does not sell us short:

Comb-me quickly; don’t put me so much pomatum. What news tell me? All hairs dresser are newsmonger.

[NickFitz]

Naturally there is a section on "Familiar phrases":

[NickFitz]

"The thunderbolt is falling down"

"Will you a bon?"

"He has spit in my coat"

[NickFitz]

Some of said phrases are perhaps less suitable for polite company...

[NickFitz]

"These apricots and these peaches make me and to come water in mouth"

"I am pinking me with a pin"

"He do the devil at four"

[NickFitz]

Still, the Portuguese tourist who found Pedro's book failing them in their English excursion could at least have recourse to that well-known phrase "Do not might one’s understand to speak?" (well-known since post #18863, anyway)

[NickFitz]

I wish I'd thought of Pedro's book during our "process retrospective" meeting this afternoon, so I could have impressed my colleagues with "A bad arrangement is better than a process."

It's stuff like that which really helps to establish one's reputation in this game

[NickFitz]

Unfortunately it doesn't necessarily establish the reputation one would wish... ah well, as Pedro says, "I jest of them; my vessel is armed in man of war, i have a vigilant and courageous equipage, and the ammunitions don't want me its."

And I've beaten SA

(No, not like that... )
