Funny Quotes (From List Mailer "English for Advanced"):

"Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means."

"Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays."

"Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close knit family in another city."

"A married man should forget his mistakes; no use two people remembering the same thing."

"My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher."

"Heaven is an American salary, a Chinese cook, an English house, and a Japanese wife. Hell is defined as having a Chinese salary, an English cook, a Japanese house, and an American wife."



Is it based on your personal experience? Is it that bad?

OK, here is a joke for you all about blonds (I am a brunette bty):

"A blonde female police officer pulled over a blonde woman for
speeding. The blonde cop approached the car and asked the blonde
for her driver's license.

The blonde driver asked, "What does a driver's license look like?"
as she searched through her purse.

The blonde cop said, "It's that little thing with your picture on it."

The Driver pulled out her compact, opened it, looked in the mirror
and handed it to the officer.

The blonde cop looked in the mirror, handed it back to the blonde
and said, "If you'd told me you were a police officer, we could have
avoided all this."

I wish I had watched Matrix3 too. :-)
Which movies? Tarantino's "Kill Bil"l, 'Another World" - about the vampires, "Freddy vs Jason" - a shitty horror, imho; then - "Master & Commander" - sea adventures; and some others. go2_kino.kz

Do you know any CT members living abroad, especially in US? Have you ever met them? It'd be great if you make your own, CT-meeting in reality, there. :smoke:

I live near Washington DC. Work in one small financial company. I don?t know any other CT members living in the US, and, frankly speaking, don?t really want to meet them in person (virtual interaction is quite enough) . I have my personal reasons for that (don?t ask me why). All I can say is that there are not many Kazakhs (and Russians) around here and among them not many people I would be friends with if I met them in KZ. I have few close friends and that is enough?

There is nothing really ?wow? about me living in the US. As it was discussed here (somewhere in the forum), there are many pluses and minuses about living far away from your homeland. Of course, we are just humans and can accommodate to any living conditions (and mine are not the worse ones), however, there is no ?heaven? on the earth. Although, I don?t regret I live here, I kind of envy (in a good way) my friends in Almaty who are having pretty nice life there. I love when I visit Almaty to see how it changes for better. Pretty impressive.

To KAPPA:

Merry Christmas to DC population!


These here three surgeons are arguing who is the best.
The first one says: "I once operated a pianist who had all of his fingers broken and a month later he gave a concert to the Queen of England!"
The second one says: "That's f@ck all! I had a patient once who lost both his legs! A year later he became an Olympic Champion in ski racing!"
The third surgeon's turn: "Both of you guys are just dilettantes! Here is my story: A cowboy was run over by a train when he was riding along a rail road. All that was left after the accident was the horse's ass and the guy's hat... He is the president of the United States now!" :laugh:


Happy New Year folks! :weep:

Do you know where Giving the Finger (Flipping the bird) comes from?

Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers! Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous weapon was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew").
Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, "See, we can still pluck yew! "PLUCK YEW!"
Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodental fricative 'F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do with an intimate encounter.
It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird" (or "flipping the bird").

And yew thought yew knew everything. :weep:

Сорри за ОФФ конечно. Только прошу не пинайте. Очень хочется выучить английский язык. По школе и в универе изучал немецкий, так что в английском немного дуб. Подскажите плз свободно владеющие английским языком с чего начать? Нужен ли репетитор для индивидуальных занятий или все же в группе с другими начать изучение? Что эффективнее?
Буду очень признателен за добрые советы

Я, конечно, не асс (не в том смысле, а в смысле не очень хорошо знаю :beer:), но могу сказать, что, как и во всём ином, главное - иметь желание. Это такое состояние, когда ты даже случаяно услышанное слово запомнил и, что не маловажно, стал применять в жизни.

Учить можно, как угодно, но главное - практика, т.е. пытаться говорить и думать по-английски, пусть даже не правильно, т.к. цель - внедрять слова, а не только запоминать. Бывает, когда нужно, не можешь слово подобрать, а позже вспоминаешь самое подходящее (оказывается, знал... :laugh:). Это от недостатка практики, мне кажется.

Успехов! :weep:

Нет не секрет. Просто есть такое слово "желание". Типа а чем я хуже тех людей, которые умеют говорить. Да и знание языка всегда пригодится.
