Happy Meme #8

Borrowed flatmate's Dr Who DVDs and watched many episodes back to back, with a brief break for Danny Wallace (Our Leader) cooing at a bunch of robots on Horizon, whist wrapping prezzies.

Also I finally phoned the local garage about getting a MOT sorted. I'd been putting it off after the saga from the start of this year (which I recall I never got around to writing about. I may do a backdated post a year afterwards). I was worried that they wouldn't be able to see me, or I'd have to take time off work. They said I could drop the car off at 8 the next morning, and pick it up at 6. :)

A disturbing date if you needed all these German phrases.

From a phrase book a colleague bought at lunch time.
It was amusing at first glance, but it's really quite creepy.

German is an ace language.

Ruhr mich nicht an!

Hmm... I wouldn't trust it, either. I'm pretty sure that "Ich dich auch" means "me, you, as well" without any actual mention of "love", so it's only going to work IF it follows the previous phrae.

I remember a Greek phrasebook that went down similar lines. Started out with meeting on the beach and smalltalk about the sea and then suddenly went to the going-to-bed and moving-too-fast level. Very odd.

Remind me to show you my 'Making Out in Japanese' phrase book sometime.
