I wonder what he’ll say when he realises what the French motto means. What a muppet.

I keep telling my wife the auto functions in my A3 are like having a horse. Including the odd “oh I’m gonna brake for no reason because I got spooked, now”.
I fucking love it!

“rolling”, ha!

I’m not sure what you’re on about, I’d happily eat that every day.

They probably freaked out when she started speaking Welsh. Understandable.

Hey now, nothing wrong with recognising these ladies. Good memories…

Well, it doesn’t work on my phone.

You may remember them from…

I’m here once again to remind everybody that IRC is still here and still the best.

Imagine me spending the last two weeks working full time to figure out what the fuck was wrong with our network / API manager when I could have just told them “nothing I can do about it”? Damn!

Metaphors don’t work on people like him.

And CHEESE !

But now they can legitimate all sort of bullshit measures to enforce that law. It will have an effect. Just not the one you expected.

I love that people “forget” this was Notch’s previous game.

I love that my kids actually do not do that and stick stuff anywhere they can. With age they understand some surfaces are off limits so as to not damage them, but my windows and light switches never stood a chance…

In my mother’s hometown, they finally decided which architect would redesign the townhall after it’s roof burnt down. Five years ago. And this is a rich town. France is fucking useless at getting shit done fast. It’s depressing really. This plant finally getting built is a fucking miracle!

That does look like a bit of fun!

I just describe it as “bilingual level”, because fluent is often used but can represent a range of levels depending on how demanding you are.

For me, fluent is what I’d describe someone who’s studied well and can live only speaking the target language. They may have a crappy accent, make mistakes but they know they can express their ideas and be understood and generally don’t search for words.

I’d use “native level”, but that can be a bit misleading too.

And so, that’s why we have exams/diploma with levels and such.
If someone tells you they have a C2 level diploma in French, I assure you that their command of French is worthy of respect even for a native French person.

If I tell you I have HSK3/4 even in Chinese, you know I’m nowhere near fluency, despite how well I can fake it with what little I do know! :P

Asshole in the Middle?

Locals cared, obviously.
