RE: Holiday chaos.....Caused by a few inches of snow!!!!!

I thought you have summer all year round

RE: Holiday chaos.....Caused by a few inches of snow!!!!!

From this latitude? Only Northern lights

RE: Say something funny oh funny how??????

An Irish couple has been asked:

- You’ve got 14 children, is it a national tradition?
- No, our national tradition is quite different; children are just a side-effect of that tradition.

RE: false information

Some while ago, there was a thread on EU forum dedicated to the reasons why people lie. And it turned out that there’s a lot, and some of them are quite innocent. And there’s a saying (that I don’t remember verbatim): a truth said with intent to hurt is much worse than a lie said with intent to spare.

As to wasting one’s time going on a date… well, really don’t know what to say. You can likewise waste your time even if there are no lies between the two people – just no spark and you are wasting your time.

RE: false information

Oh, thank you for correcting me, of course I meant ”dyed” (it was just too early here to look in a dictionary, and I chanced for most closely sounding ). And with a bagatelle I meant a small thing.

When people lie about their age or physical appearance as height, weight, eyes/hair colour, I can understand the reason why they do that: they are not satisfied with their looks and deceive themselves declaring something else than truth. But I don’t understand why they expect other people to do them the same favour. And if they don’t like themselves as they are, why do they expect someone else to like them?

RE: I need a big favour!!

Hullo!

RE: false information

I had a date with a man with diced hair. Was nothing about it on his profile… And is it really a lie? A bagatelle, isn’t it? But I just happened don’t like men with diced hair… Perhaps, I’d take it in good mood if I knew that in advance, but…

Strictly speaking, it’s not a lie – people tell us what they think is significant (for us) about them and expect us to tell them what they think is significant (for them) about us … But you can’t know what’s what before it’s too late.

RE: Holiday chaos.....Caused by a few inches of snow!!!!!

Thank you very much!

…though money is one thing, and non-monetary circumstances is another. But you are welcome here, while the snow is still clean. Everything looks like new and cold air is very refreshing.

RE: Holiday chaos.....Caused by a few inches of snow!!!!!

Wait ‘till some Aussie will come bragging…

RE: Holiday chaos.....Caused by a few inches of snow!!!!!

I’ve always thought that it was Russian joke, a classical one, when the authorities standing there supporting gliding down trousers and, staring a most honest stare, with tear in voice, explaining:

“Ladies and …” (it’s rather formal in Russia (translator’s note)) “…and gentlemen! You won’t believe it, but suddenly came winter.”

I came to Sweden 12 years ago, and I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard a Swedish authority standing there supporting his gliding down trousers and, staring the most honest stare, with tear in his voice, explaining:

“Guys and…” (it’s rather informal here in Sweden (translator’s note)) “… and gals! You won’t believe it, but suddenly came winter…”

Looks like the disease is infectious… now the rest of Europe getting it.

RE: I need a big favour!!

Polish? Are there any people left in Poland itself?



Note to self: A volunteer and philanthropist…

RE: Watch tv online

Thank you, will try Pheonix’s then.

RE: Looking for Mr 100%

Yes I have my “shopping” list: he has to have

Sense of humour
Patience
Good will

And those demands are to be fulfilled to 100 %, otherwise it will not work.


Then again, there’s such thing as chemistry (sorry for the banality…)

As to the enemy part… well, it's not granted, one has to earn that high rank first.

RE: Watch tv online

When I tried to register, it said: “Your are already registered”. Then it said: “Your subscriptions expired”. So I had no other choice but uninstall the whole thing. No more British propaganda for me…

RE: I need a big favour!!

I have no video camera, I’m afraid, so I can’t help you. But I suspect that one or another of your students might have heard Russian accent anyway. (Ours are everywhere… )

But I wish you all good luck!

RE: I need a big favour!!

I have English as fourth language and my Christmas is 2 weeks after yours – I’ve got lots of time, looks like, so be patient.

RE: For Expats Only: What are the things that you miss from your home country?

Dried peas without husks – it takes so long time and is so boring to peel them…

RE: Why women prefer romantic men?

Well… looks like Homo Sapiens traded his sense of smell (and other senses) for common sense intellect, so one has to use what he’s got.

But as the event in question happens to occur somehow regular, one can, in the lack of senses, use this convenient tool called “Calendar”. Well… or if your prettiest half is chasing you round the house with a frying pan in her hand, may it be a hint for you that it’s thé time? And as on the average men without frying pans run much faster than women with frying pans, after a couple of rounds it will be you chasing her. (Caution: don’t give way to your sense of competition here and overtake her again!!!) And then you only follow the instruction from Oldfoxie gentleman there above (hug from behind and all that), and happiness will descend upon you.

RE: Why women prefer romantic men?

Such a marvelous definition… (Not a wonder they hanging on your neck in grapes.)


By the way, men don’t like “Wham-bump-thank-you-sir” approach either… dunno why… A mystery!

RE: would you like to be my boyfriend in 2011?

It’s ok, I don’t understand you either.

RE: Why women prefer romantic men?

That’s a medal!



Actually I also wasn’t referring to anyone, just talked about the subject in general. It’s surprising, but we know so much about each other’s physiology nowadays and still can’t use our knowledge when it’s most necessary.

(Though I personally would prefer to have less of the physiological part… nothing wrong with some air of mystery about your partner… it’s romantic, isn’t it?)

RE: Country and Western songs.......with meaning....?

Main theme: the normal heroes take always the longer way.




(My usual mode)

RE: would you like to be my boyfriend in 2011?

Kroshka, eto zapadnaya moda, nash-to chto imeet – tomu rad.

RE: Why women prefer romantic men?

Sooooooo romantic.

RE: How is your day today?

Choo-hoo!!!

RE: How is your day today?

For the first time been left with my car on my own. Got it from the mechanical guys home, and got the summer rubber to basement. 5 hours on pure adrenalin…

Such a beautiful day!!!

RE: Serious Christmas thread ......

My plans for the nearest Christmas are to read manuals for car… How big the gas tank is, for example… right now I have no idea…

RE: Why women prefer romantic men?

RE: Well Peeps,be seeing you............

Thank you and enjoy yourself!

RE: Country and Western songs.......with meaning....?

I can’t tell one country song from another – for me the motive sounds always the same, which gets monotone in the long run… But this tune is pleasant.
