Sorry, I don't speak that language.
And what happened to GreyDesk?
I just want you to know that I will
be fair to everyone, of every language,
when I become president. If I can't
understand your language, I will invite
you to speak English. It's the American way.
YAY!!

There will be free Yorkshire

Just as long as it's not free Yorkshire Terriers. 
Yappie things. 
Hey GDesk if you do your name in Michigander (my home state language) it would sound like this...Grey Desk! You can use it if you like free of charge.

Hot topic for the day:
Our company is going through a session of re-arranging all the furniture which, given that we consist of two offices some 15 miles apart, is no mean achievement. Currently, however, the office in which I am sat has a particularly obtrusive and awkward item of furniture which nobody wants. Hence, at least three people have said this week: "What are we going to do with this bloody Grey Desk?"
Discuss, using examples where appropriate.

At least there's only one never to be improved upon GreyDesk here!
(even if I can't pronounce his sobriquet most of the time)
Hiya GDesk!

You should advertise the bloody grey desk for sale on the notice board as a fine example of a sheffield steel grijs bureau/ escritorio gris/ bureau gris/ grauer Schreibtisch/ scrittorio grigio/ mesa cinzenta (whatever). See what yio can get for it

'Scuse me - and when do you think the last time they made any steel in Sheffield was?
About the same time that the Blades were a high-quality top-flight team, that's when.

Well actually you're wrong there. Sheffield is one of the world's leading centres for steel fabrication.
True, we no longer turn the ore and coal into iron any more. But if you want to then turn the iron into something useful, you come to Sheffield.
It's an added value thing you see

Mu Beta Posted Jun 20, 2003
Now, to be frank (oooh, Betty), I still don't believe that. I think there maybe one shed somewhere that makes cutlery, but most of Sheffield's steel fabricators went but under Th*tcher.
*Just to prove it - types Sheffield Steel into Google, and gets one knife fabricator, the plate mill which will close this year, seven sports pages, and two adverts for the beer festival*
Well, at least something good came out of that experiment.
