Petit Prince

Just seen it on MOTD and it looked like Man United didn't exactly dominate in the first half. they had a couple of chances after half-time though.

It can be quite annoying too. Especially because a lot of people won't really listen to you if they know that English isn't your first language.

Probably. Wouldn't be a surprise considering how bad some people's English is.

Yup. Just go for 12-9-7-5-4-3-2-1. Personally I'd prefer 13-9... but I don't think that's gonna happen.

They're both Retrievers. Lab/ Labrador is short for Labrador Retriever. Golden Retrievers are golden or white-ish. Their coat's long. Labrador Retriever's coat is short and smooth. They're black, chocolate or yellow [which is indeed pretty much the same colour as golden].

I had to do an English test too when I applied to a college. They made everyone take it no matter if English was their first language or not. It was extremely easy though, a bit of a waste of time and paper if you ask me.

We don't get any of those things even though we're much closer to Ireland.:embarassed: Besides there is traditionally a lot of Irish people where I live. Last night was good even though the pubs were all really packed so we went to a bar after a while. Should have gone much earlier... I'm tired and hungover now and gotta go to work.:(

How shit is the new point scoring system? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7948455.stm

We'll go out in an hour or so. :dance: Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

awww cutest thing ever :nice: We had two Golden Retrievers when I was a kid, they're such lovely dogs.

Would you call 'What are you listening to?' or 'What was the last thing in your mouth?' a game then? It isn't really but those kind of threads all end up in the games section, which makes sense I guess.

Cooking. Shouldn't this be in the games section?

I speak English and German fluently. I also speak French and a bit of Spanish.

You are just offending people because it's fun then?

Well you are quite aggressive on here and you are often rude for no apparent reason. You might have problems in real life but why take it out on other people?

How is attacking random people on the internet gonna help?

Hello!:)

What about the thread title?:P Most people seem to get the apostrophe 's' thing wrong. I'm sure one of our tutors told us either version [with or without extra 's'] was correct and I'm doing an English degree...

because tonto's stupid [as his name tells us] and no good to him?:P

Honda team to return as Brawn GP The former Honda Formula One team has been saved and will contest the 2009 season as Brawn GP. Brawn was Ferrari technical director before joining Honda last season The Honda Motor Company Limited and ex-Honda boss Ross Brawn, 54, have reached agreement to preserve the team. Britain's Jenson Button and Brazilian veteran Rubens Barrichello, last year's Honda line-up, will continue to drive for the British-based team. Brawn GP will use Mercedes engines when the new F1 season starts in Australia on 29 March. Honda pulled out of F1 in December as a result of the global financial crisis, leaving the team to search desperately for a buyer. The statement, released on the new Brawn GP website, did not reveal the financial details of the buyout. Brawn, a former Ferrari technical director, said: "The past few months have been extremely challenging for the team but today's announcement is the very pleasing conclusion to the strenuous efforts that have been made to secure its future. "Firstly, it is a great shame that having worked with Honda Motor Company for so long we can no longer continue together. "I would like to thank Honda for the fantastic co-operation and support we have received throughout this process, particularly those members of the senior management who were closely involved with concluding our agreement, and for the faith they have demonstrated in myself and our team." Brawn, who joined Honda at the start of last season, added that he was delighted to retain the same driving line-up. "The vast experience and knowledge that both drivers bring to our team will prove invaluable as we aim to get up to speed in the shortest possible time to be ready for the first race of the season," he said. "In what will be their fourth season together, their experience with our team in Brackley, our systems and our engineers, will prove a real asset." He added: "I would like to express particular appreciation for the support we have received from Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, the FIA (Federation Internationale de L'Automobile), FOM (Formula One Management), Fota (Formula One Teams Association) ... and our many fans the world over. "The journey ahead will be challenging but exciting and we know we can count on their continued enthusiasm for our team and its ambitions." Hiroshi Oshima, managing officer of Honda Motor Company Limited, wished Brawn well in his new role as team owner. "Since announcing our withdrawal from Formula One racing on 5 December of last year, we have conducted various studies and discussions so that the team can continue its activities as a new team," said Oshima. "We are very pleased that we could sell the team to Ross Brawn, with whom we have been partaking in the challenges of F1 competition, and are grateful for his decision. We offer our sincerest wishes for the new team which will be led by Ross." Brawn GP will attend the remaining pre-season tests, in Barcelona starting on 9 March and Jerez starting on 15 March. With the team's survival, Formula One will start the season with 10 teams - one fewer than at the beginning of 2008 before Super Aguri folded. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7927488.stm Good news. :)

I don't find trousers uncomfortable but I prefer skirts/ dresses.

It's snowing in England. Thankfully not where I live though.

I don't have MTV and I've never seen this show. What's it about?

Hello! How are you?

Makes sense. I get it wrong all the time. Hopefully not anymore. As for shops I do find it pretty annoying. Happened to me at Tesco's the other day because you were supposed to get 2 pizzas (2 for 1) for like £2. They charged me £3.50 for it. I then said I didn't want it. As I walked off the lady at the till complained to her colleague about stupid customers who weren't able to read prices. Apparently I was the third person who complained about it.
