And Then, Language...

    While clicking about on the Wibbly Wobbly Web last night, I stumbled into an interesting video. Now you may believe you, like me, have very little, to no knowledge of foreign languages. That is other than the basic Brit answer to speaking to those with no English which seems to be to shout at ‘em. In English.
   Anyhoo, click the arrowhead in centre of the video below and prepare to be amazed at just how much foreign language ability you actually have and probably never realised you had. It’s so bloody basic is it not?
   Yup, never too old to learn. Have to admit, I smiled out loud..

   Further to the literal version of Men Without Hats, try this ‘straight’ number of theirs, one I go back to quite often for a smile. Shame ‘pop goes the world’ may become a literal meaning in and of itself though. Love the baby on keyboard. Simple daze eh?

   Finally, should you find there’s, surprisingly, nothing to watch on the televisual appliance this evening, do the clicky thingy on this linky for thirty odd foot tappin’ tracks for your background as you amble round the Web or whatever. Enjoy.

“Always try to use the language so as to make quite clear what you mean and make sure your sentence couldn't mean anything else.”
