A Favour To Ask...
 
Hello everyone!

I suppose the title is somewhat a lie... I don't have anything ready yet, but will soon. Let me explain,

I have a best friend who is visiting Europe for a trip. I was going to make up a letter for her. They are going to Britain, France, etc. I thought it would be kinda cool to write a section of the letter in French and then have another English translated version or something.

So what I am thinking... I was wondering if I posted a paragraph/few sentences, could you guys translate them into some British 'slang' or something? Is that possible? Obviously English is the same but I've had to pick up on some of your words; bloke, chaf, stone, etc.

If this is possible, let me know. Then I'll post up the note.

Thanks!

Mitch

******** - This is a great English word with many excellent uses. Technically speaking it means testicles but is typically used to describe something that is no good (that's ********) or that someone is talking rubbish (he's talking ********). Surprisingly it is also used in a positive manner to describe something that is the best, in which case you would describe it as being "the dog's ********". Englishmen who live in America take great delight in ordering specialised registration plates for their cars using the letters B.O.L.L.O.X. Good eh?

Donnie Brasco: Forget about it is like if you agree with someone, you know, like Raquel Welch is one great piece of ass, forget about it. But then, if you disagree, like A Lincoln is better than a Cadillac? Forget about it! you know? But then, it's also like if something's the greatest thing in the world, like mingia those peppers, forget about it. But it's also like saying Go to hell! too. Like, you know, like "Hey Paulie, you got a one inch pecker?" and Paulie says "Forget about it!" Sometimes it just means forget about it.

Hey guys,

I am terribly sorry to get you all worked up. As it turned out, I ran out of time and didn't get the letter done in advance. I am sorry.

She is now over there with you guys. She'll be there till the 11th, I believe. Please take good care of her. If you see a cute Canadian gal named Laura, tell her Mitch says "Hi". :)

I did give her a BikerFriend.org sticker to put on something important like... The Mona Lisa. And then take a picture of it for me. :)

Sorry again. I am a little disappointed too. :(

Mitch

I was at a meeting in Paris a few years ago that was attended by a "French" speaking Canadian. They asked her to speak in English as they couldn't understand her version of French.
