A translation would be greatly appreciated.
My boy who worked in China for two years is entirely to blame. Before he went he was warned not to try and speak the lingo to the natives, as a mere wrong inflection could be an unforgivable insult and result in a phalanx of ninjas creeping over his rooftop in the dead of night. (or is that a Japanese thing?)
Anyway, I asked him what the Chinese for "nice pic Jocky" was and the closest he could do was "It be wonderful Mr Jocky". However the spelling is my own, and is at best a rough approximation of the sounds that eminated from his contorted mouth.
:lol:
Thanks for that. Ta Shur, apart from being a district in Afghanistan, approximates to he said or she said. Ta is one of these strange Mandarin pronouns which does not recognise gender. The phrase Tae hao le in the main equates to wonderful but can mean nice or good. As to Lou I have not got a scooby but you did get jocky right.
In the interests of clarity I think we should leave the Chinese translations to Parker from now on.

"She didn't even say goodbye". :) That defeat by the Saint Louis Cardinals, apt name, has hit you harder than I thought. Never mind there is always the next game against them at home in Texas.This thread is getting absurd Au Revoir Gilliatt.Quote:

I bet he'll be in the crowd - behind the posts even.Quote:

I would say the best team of the tournament won the World Cup. But the best team in the final lost.
It's all down to the referee anyway.

Not so for the Rangers, they took a thumping last night.
There's more baseball to play though.
