Today's word of the day...

Knutschi

I like the flu shots!

They will sell so many portions of Tamiflu & Co. that there is no need to invent Vogelgrippe this year!

Did I hear ducks?

no, storks

No storks around at the moment ... I hope they were not shot on their way back to the Spanish Outback!

Neddi is pregnant?

Neddi will surely shoot you for that!

The Gerüchteküche is brodeling because of neles Schnellshot

That was only consequential:
Neddi spoke about birdflu, Caro about Neddi's ducks, and then Knutschi told us, the subject was* storks ... conclusion: Neddi is pregnant

* would you please so kind to tell me the correkt tense for the indirect speech??

Knutschi heard it through the grapevine ...

Nele, don't ask me any grammar questions today! I think I caught a cold ...

I cannot say why (give grammatical reasons) but it just sounds right, nele...

Ah, now I know why I am always tired!

We not only solve problems you never had, answer questions you never asked, we also give you the genuine symptoms of experiences you do not have!

I promised you to give us some impressions of my Englisch lesson last Friday:

I changed the group because of a lunch date , in this group I felt very confident. In the opposite to my collegues I understood everything (the trainers English was very clear and comprehensible). Sometimes I saw the questionmarks in my collegues eyes ...)

The trainer gave me compliments for my skills in paraphrasing, when I did not knew the adequate vocabulary (and this happened quite often). He was not really satisfied with our using the tenses ...

I am no longer scared of beeing on the fair in Milano end of month and beeing forced to talk to customers .

Last weekend I watched two English Courses on TV and this morning I began reading a part of the New York Times (sometimes supplement to the Süddeutsche Zeitung).

May I? Or are such "notes" not wanted?

Appointment ist neutral - date ist oft mehr ein Rendevouz als ein Termin
