The lurgy. One cold and chest infection after another.
Have some rest, mate. If I get run down I end up with a good few weeks of infection after infection! A good sign that you need a break IMO.
Probably right. Had Friday off work and stayed in bed. Kids don't help... Not only do they throw infectious diseases at me like confetti, they then want to use my dying corpse as a trampoline

I used it to learn a bit of Swedish a few years ago, and was bemused by some of the phrase choices - i.e "The boy eats the dog food".
I'm currently using it to learn some basic Russian, and it's now teaching me classics like "This is a cafe, not my house.".
so what would you say if you were in a café in Russia and someone asks you to go and make them a cup of tea and can they have a quick look at your bedroom while the kettle is boiling?

I don't get Jim White's approach to his job. He's meant to be a football reporter, but seems more interested in taking selfies with them like some sort of roady. Often on his twitter feed is him with his arm round one like a fan. Odd

What would I say? Well, if Russian dash cam footage has taught me anything, I'd pick my words very carefully indeed..
I've not read this thread for pages and pages so it might have been mentioned but using the word ASS instead of ARSE is completely unacceptable from anyone bar our American posters. You don't write pain in the ass. NO!!
Yes I'm looking at you offenders, two particulars one but I wont mention any names as yet.

The BBC's replacement of 'local news' with 'the news where you are'. A dumbing down too far imo.
The fact that they still haven’t managed to show it in HD pisses me off far more.
that brings us to another annoyance. I get that they can't do local news in HD because they're crap but why does that mean they have to just display a screen telling me that it is not available in HD? surely HD channels are capable of showing non HD programmes
Isn't it more that the channel (101 for example) is national while channel 1 is regional. So when the local news comes on and it says switch to 1 it's simply because they can't display different shows to the entire country on 101.
I've returned to the client office today, been out of it since Dec 23rd, and even missed a week in Tel Aviv because of it. (See above, and the point about getting run down)
I bumped in to a girl from the office outside, and all she had to say was "Oh, you're back! I was wondering because you have a set of keys.".
Charming, love. Absolutely charming, just what I want to hear when I'm dreading my return. I regret getting the missus to buy you a nice secret Santa gift now!
I'm doing Italian on it- I think it might have been written by the mafia as it taught me "the Uncle dies in December" the other night.

maybe. but then they should just show something. they're already producing 15ish different regional broadcasts so they may as well do a generic one on top to show on HD. they must lose loads of viewers who switch over when they cut the broadcast for a few minutes
