Ah Charles, apologies because I've asked you this about a thousand times but I finally have decided I'm going to polish up my French and learn Spanish.Quote:

Blimey, it must be 14 years since you asked me that. 2004 I did the Spanish one...Quote:

Of course he did. He has quite the cheeky sense of humour, young Dicko.Quote:

He had a strange accent and no mistake, but I liked his methods.Quote:

Haha, believe it or not but it is a very good Spanish language school based in Clapham. I went for a few years in their early days and got on very well with Maria who founded it. She helped me over the years with proof reading my wedding speech that was in Spanish and other bits and pieces. I have watched on as her business has grown. So despite my tongue in cheek comment about the platinum service, I really would recommend it if you want to brush up on your Spanish.Quote:

I can understand most things most of the time. I lack confidence in speaking because I don't practise enough. Our kids are bilingual but I am not allowed to speak to them in Spanish as they have to learn the Spanish from their mum and English from me, not vice versa, that would be a disaster!Quote:

The retirement master plan is to move to a few cities, one in Spain and one in France, for at least two years for the very reason you mention. To integrate and become fluent.Quote:

^^^^^ loooooooooooooooool
I saw the one complaining about people using black emojis/ gifs / memes etc called digital blackfacing or something like that.
I was thinking only recently that three of my favourite things are fat arses, fried chicken and watermelon. This shows me up to be an appalling cultural appropriator, racist and patriarchal oppressor, I suppose. :-(Quote:

Well played c and don't forget, the most virulent punishments should await those who fail to self declare as they are nothing more than cowardly denialists.Quote:

Mercy me you're right. Pork in a bagel is the most naked and downright visceral statement of anti-semitism imaginable. I am disappointed with myself for failing to see this before. I will self flagellate immediately.Quote:
