• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Thanks to Roger my French should improve. I have been looking for a French course when all along what I needed was to learn course French. :D

Cheers Mate. :obscene-drinkingcheers:
 
well you have confused me...

course French - would that be an obstacle course with French lessons at intervals?

or did you mean coarse as in crude/vulgar language?

Think I can guess but that one letter makes a big difference :)

The other reason that I doubt I will ever master any foreign language is I have never mastered English.
:oops:
You correctly guessed that if Roger is involved it must of course be coarse. A handy little to guide to the more street friendly vocabulary of les boulevards francais.
 
Seriously, though, and I promise it will be only for a moment, I studied French 7 years, German 5 years, Latin 3 years and Russian 1.5 years at school. I can honestly say that learning the foreign languages taught me more about the structure, grammar, parsing etc of English.

I'd love to be fluent in lots of languages :-) .. just because it's so darned impressive .. to people in their native tongue, and to those that can't, but hear you speak it ! lol
 
I can't say I'm fluent! But I can order a coffee or a beer in most places round Europe! :obscene-drinkingcheers:

He would have approved, especially when Officer Crabtree was pissing by the deer when he hired a ****!

It will be interesting to see what the filter makes of Crabtree's dialect!
 
Translated, Crabtree said he was 'passing by the door when he heard a shot'!
 
'Allo 'Allo. A family favourite for many years. When non native english speakers can understand it then they can be considered to have mastered not only the english language but the english sense of humour too.
