I went to the pub for the first time in 3 weeks today.

[Johnny Mac]

To watch the Carling Cup Final.

Spurs were robbed! They were all over man u.

Anyway it was good to get out again despite the cr@p result!

I felt tipsy and it was only Fosters. (That was a Magnolia Emulsion Fernando)

My Brother went to the match at Wembley. He has been to 3 big games there now.

:lol: I start to mess with the words and with the pronunciation of things, out of class now, no $ to pay for english class...

But I like fosters, but liked Amstel better... More like the beer in Brazil... But if I lived there, I would try hard to discover the brownish ale power :D

hahahaha (don't worry, though, fernando, your english is an awful lot better than my portuguese)

glad to hear you're getting out and about, jonny :)

[Johnny Mac]

Yes keep it up Fernando, it was very funny!  :lol:

[Fourth Feline]

Don't worry Fernando ; - for most of the time , your English is much better than I hear it on the streets here in England.   :)

I find that is often the case when people from other countries /cultures are genuinely wanting to learn English as a 'second language'.

The matter gets more complicated of course - as many young  'English' people I overhear - are trying so hard to sound like they are black American / Afro-Caribean  'Gangstas'.     :?

Not a bad thing Fernando ; -  I have a Polish friend - who sounds like she has a slight Californian accent. The main thing - is ( like you ) she takes much more effort in using nice  pronunciation / puntuation than most teenagers going through our own eductaion system.  I remember back in the 70s, there was a Chinese gentleman at the local takeaway - that sounded like he was a member of the aristocracy in disguise. Lovely speech and impeccable manners. I think I learnt more about using 'correct' English and general etiquette from this immigrant - than I ever did at school  !   :)

There is a lad at work who is white and from Croydon but he sounds like Ali G.  Anyways Johnny I am glad you are out and about though not glad about Spurs( I am not a football fan but my Mum is a long time Spurs fan and I kinda hate to see her p*ssed off).

There is a whole generation who speak like Ali G around here! They even spell  'lyk it innit loool an dat'

i remember you saying you're Mum is a Spurs fan! Well I hope she is ok about it. Penalties are a lottery.

I walked to the supermarket on my own this morning. 5 minute walk there. 20 back! Its cos I was holding 'heavy' shopping bags. 2 pints of milk. 1 Liter grape juice. Bacon,eggs, bread and 2 packs of paracetamol! It took another 30 minutes to recover!!
