Talking of lanuage abilities: today a demonstration on the big square in Gent with 4.000 school children, some just 5 years old, shouting: 1, 2, 3, 4, we don't want a fucking war. Proves that they can count and swear in English.

I'm always impressed with people who can swear effectively in a second languague. fourcoffees is probably the best I have ever known at this.

We've found a winner!

Heh. Okay, let's *not* nominate him for trilingual potty-mouth of the year.

When the British Empire is gone, all it will leave the world is the phrase 'fuck off' and the game of association football.

Can't remember who said that, but he wasn't far off the mark.
