Ah, that can produce some funny phrases but only in the language you dont know.
I like to translate English into the foreign, then see what happens when
I translate it back. Often hilarious.

Are they the small fish things which you fry in your own ear wax if they give you the wrong translation? Things are bad in the tea room if you have to resort to frying your owm babel fish to get a morsel to eat! It's Saturday night - the girls are suposed to be looking after us properly!!

I see that the demise of Nothing Ventured has been announced. I've never used it myself but I suppose the inevitable result will be other sites will pick up some more users.
You're not at work today then?

Talking of chicken......
The chicken and the egg were lying in bed.
The chicken is leaning against the headboard, smoking a cigarette and has a satisfied smile on his face.
The egg, looking a bit p****d off grabs a sheet, rolls over and says...
.
"Well I guess we finally answered THAT question".
Wouldn't work with a beef.

Isn't Sunday Roast a bit archaic, Jeff?
I can't remember the last time that we had a roast on a Sunday. It's normally a case of whatever's at the top of the freezer comes out and gets defrosted in the microwave shortly before we're ready to cook and eat. Yesterday though, I did make a large lasagne. In fact, thinking about it, it's about 8 or 9 years since we all sat down and had turkey on Xmas day. Last Xmas I seem to remember that we shared a fondue and for the previous umpteen Xmas' before that, it's been steak and prawns on the BBQ.

You are dead right, the traditional sunday roast is a thing of the past. Probably happens about 4 times a year in my household.

Oh c'mon you two miserable buggers;
I bet a case of Sauvignon Blanc that given the offer of Roast Leg of Lamb,
new spuds, fresh runners and either baby broad beans or garden peas with
onion sauce, mint sauce and thick real gravy
OR
rib-eye,sirloin, rump or fillet [a pretty tasteless cut imo]
.......................90% would take the roast..........................
OR it could just as easily be Leg of Pork with crackling and apple sauce, new carrots, cauli/white sauce
OR Wing Rib of Beef with roast parsnips, potatoes and real Yorkshire Puds
[not them bloody Aunt Bessies!] with onion gravy....
Oh Gawd, I'm salivating all over the keyboard..yum,yum,yum.
Well I bet thats me and Socs sorted, a lump of pizza or a Mexican wrap for the two aforementioned heathens.
