Hi benjamin, I really enjoyed reading this. Interesting coincidence, btw, that we're both on about volunteers this week. Ypour piece made me laugh very much. Thanks for that.

Thanks Bel, I'm glad you liked it. I read your piece on blogs from last issue and I've just read your entry (or should I call it a lecture?) from this week's edition, which I enjoyed as well. Interestingly, I was already thinking about offering an entry on the subject of complaining for the next post, maybe if we carry on much longer at this rate we shall keep copying each other's ideas?

Bad idea, yours reads so much better than mine, I hope nobody else will realise the similar topic.
I'm just not funny, never was, never will be, that's life.

Ah, but if I wrote my next piece in German you'd see how poor it was.

I think I can say 'I am a tortoise' but I'm not sure I can spell it. Also, I can count up to about ten. It would be a very boring article.

Maybe that could be the basis for your next entry. The dullest article it is possible to write. Go on, lets see if you can do better than 'ten tortoises'.

I thought it was ten green bottles anyway
And I think I know what I'm going to write about next time, but I'm not going to tell

Yes, but I was never taught the German for 'bottle'. Or 'Green'. Actually, I probably was, but we were far more interested in the German word I have sadly forgotten that sounds very much like the English word 'whorehouse'. You've gotta love foriegn langauges!

Well, I think you mentioned the Italian variant of one German word for it on the Glenn Miller thread. Just omit the o at the ending, and bingo.

True, I just looked for it. It must be mentioned ijn the entry then. A2654822
Yep, just checked, the header 'Theory One..

Well, it means whorehouse - I thought you were looking for that word in German?
rofl
benjaminpmoore Posted Feb 12, 2007
No, I was trying to remember a German word that sounds like whorehouse. Aren't there english words that sound amusingly like something dubious in German?
rofl
aka Bel - A87832164 Posted Feb 12, 2007
Well, a whore is a 'Hure', so you could ask for a 'Hurenhaus', but I don't think it's commonly used, it's pejorative. Apart from that, I have no idea about a similar sounding word.
Key: Complain about this post
