A bit of a personal question Dave so just ignore it if you like.

Do you live alone?

you're forgetting hande hoch, achtung and raus! raus!

I took to visiting Vienna for three or four weeks for a few years pre-covid. The weather was good for wandering around and they had two quite big poker rooms. So I started to learn a it of german then. After the covid break the card rooms shut down. There were some new regulations brought in that only licensed casinos could do poker comps, so the rooms never re-opened.

One of my sisters in law is german and my two nephews speak it, so I've kept up the learning, after a fashion. At Xmas I was down at my brother's and his mother-in-law was over and she speaks very little english, but we were able to have a little bit of conversation which was good. She's ninety years old and I only mentioned the war once, but I think I got away with it.

Why German Dave?

I picked up a smattering of German, mainly through reading lots of Sven Hassel when I was a teenager.

It mostly consists of words like schweinehund, dummkopf, and schnell.

If I had my time again, I would do the science of language. "Fluent" imo is when a word or group of words comes to the notice of your brain and somehow alters your state of mind with understanding. I've been having a go at learning German for a few years (doulingo streak 2000+) and there are very few words that instantly convey meaning in the way of their English equivalent. Most words are translated first.

One facet of German is that quite often you have to hear or read a complete sentence/phrase before you can understand it, eg "That is the man, who the golf match won". In English we often understand (or think we do) a sentence before it finishes, leading to interruptions and faster paced discussions. Does that all affect the way people think and behave?


FFS! That's in English and I'm struggling with it.

If you suddenly found you had Rory's swing, what would you do with it?

Get a caddy that could read putts


Seriously though, I wonder how long it would take you to really monetise it.
