    OK MS Remarkable, let's see if my logic is up to you.

    #2) I will go with as true, we often do things exactly like that. It's called "life."

    #3) I have myself been caught off gaurd and asked to sing or play music in front of large audiences totally unprepared and I am not a trained voice or player so I would say this could happen, yes.

    1.) You went too far in describing how your feet became cold. This makes me suspicious that this is the lie. I vote #1 as the lie.

    #1 is the lie!

    I'd rather go for #3 as the lie because you write you're "intending .. to sing unprepared". Personally, I wouldn't do that. If I know I have to sing in a concert, however "small", I prepare very carefully.

    Yes,barbara0207 is right.I indeed do not intend to sing wholly unpprepared.Although I haven't practiced anthing yet...But that is because of my extremely slow computer...

    Anyway,my feet did freeze badly.Since I am not used to very cold situations,I wasn't imunne enough...I had to rub my feet a lot when back in the car.

    You were nearly right Pen.My description seems a bit suspitious,no?...

    You've made my day, Remarkable - I'm not often right on this thread.

    Well, you made a mistake in the third and second sentence - still in German, can mean still in english but in that case it is an adjective (a still place) not an adverb. Also, I don't quite understand the sentence - don't see the verb, could be my mistake though.
    And it should be Je parle, but as you said you were rusty. So I think you can speak a bit of French.

    Don't speak Spanish but the sentence seems very simple, whereas the German sentence seems complicated but I think that perhaps you used Babelfish or something. I think it is a trick.

    I think that you can't speak German.
