Of course you are:sneaky:

But back to the plot has anyone heard a Spaniard try to say the word frothy? I haven't but a Portuguese girl had me, herself and a roomful of people in hysterics trying to do it without inhaling her own cheeks. Why I don't know, but saying that word without danger to her mouth or covering everyone in spit seemed impossible.............

Jesus, I’ve got a Mercedes S500, you’ve made me feel small now. It’s ancient as well, and that’s made me feel even smaller.

I fancy a Smart Mercedes, but because of the size we are, she’d have to sit on the roof.

'fifth' is always a bit of a shower creator too:lol:



I also remember being at a boozy party & one Spanish lady was trying to tell us about a friend of hers

we were all trying to speak Spanish - I was about the best of the brits but we'd only been here a year so I wasn't that great

she was trying to tell us what her friend did, but we couldn't get it

she asked her husband who spoke very good (as in grammatical) English & he said 'chuch'

we thought he meant that she was a priest, but didn't think there was such a thing as a female priest in Spain

we were right - she wasn't a priest


can you guess what she did?

it took me lots of coffee & paracetamol the next morning before I worked it out:blink:

[QUOTE=lynnxa;8253910]I jokingly told a Spanish friend who had a BMW it means black man's wheels in UK, and he must have misheard, he says willy instead of wheels. I haven't the heart to correct him!:)
