My money tells me I am not the only one who is taking english-lessons here on beoworld!

You can't say that Tom!!!
You have to say "My money says I am not-------------"
or
" I'm not the only one taking lessons. My money's on it"

I understand Andy. I see the difference! (Didn't you know that € can talk? I know that £ can't.)

Thanks

And English lessons come free courtesy of Beoworld. You'll certainly learn things you find in the class room that's for sure

Was a bad translation may be. I wanted to ask if it was my fault if I did not understand this.

Not a bad translation Tom - the misunderstanding lies with me. The phrase I used is simply an English one which is in every day use which no translator in the world would be able to manage.

The phrase Chris used means "I bet he's holding a camera"
Not quite sure what you meant by saying "Do I have to understand this?"

Letter to Santa

Kevin — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 12:16:44 GMT

Well last week (half term) my kids spent hours pouring over toy catalogues preparing their letters to Santa (if they worked that hard on their homework).

So never having been totally convinced that he doesn´t live in the North pole I think this year it might be worth sending a quick note and see if 38 years of good behavior will stand me in good stead.

so here goes my wish list:

Penta Lab 3´s.

BL4500´s.

A mint BM4400.

World peace.

A partridge for my pear tree, actually three one for each.

A Tesco´s in Germany (close by preferably).

cheers,

Kevin
