Well done Leo ....(babelfish translator for the benefit of everyone). It can be quite funny if you translate into a language and then translate back again  e.g: what is the weather like in France translates as à quoi ressemble le temps en France but if you translate that back into English it comes out as what resembles time in France |

My favourite in that line is the translation of " The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" into French and then back into English as "The whisky was agreeable but the meat was insipid"! Well done Polly 'O. On to Vancouver! Nigel Nigel |

The techie guys down the hold have devised a virtual air conditioned canopy that automatically lowers into place when the temperature drops below 23 oC....I've never seen it yet but last years crew said it worked a treat :
No throwing stones mind !

How's the Admiral doing in the Curling? Or did he forget his tongs  We shall have a team in the cross country dog-sledge race, I hope Yvonne's on poop-scoop standby. Us racers can't stop for that. Tell Mork it's a handicap race, Gerry, so short legs are no excuse for sitting watching. Mind the snow-drifts, though. Pumpkins favourite for gold in the downhill spacehopper slalom. Any volunteers for the Luge, or is it louge. Me? I'm off to the lounge, or is it ------- |

I understand the concept of cooking and cleaning, just not how they apply to me.  |
