Re: Speak in English, please.
 
GRUNDY: I am told that that group have received
forty thousand pounds from a record company.
Doesn't that seem, er, to be slightly opposed to
their anti-materialistic way of life?
MATLOCK: No, the more the merrier.
GRUNDY: Really?
MATLOCK: Oh yeah.
GRUNDY: Well tell me more then.
JONES: We've f**kin' spent it, ain't we?
GRUNDY: I don't know, have you?
MATLOCK: Yeah, it's all gone.
GRUNDY: Really?
JONES: Down the boozer.
GRUNDY: Good Lord! Now I want to know one thing...
MATLOCK: What?
GRUNDY: Are you serious or are you just making me,
trying to make me laugh?

MATLOCK: No, it's all gone. Gone.
GRUNDY: Really?
MATLOCK: Yeah.
GRUNDY: No, but I mean about what you're doing.
MATLOCK: Oh yeah.
GRUNDY: Are you serious?
MATLOCK: Mmm.
GRUNDY: Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and Brahms have all died...
ROTTEN: They're all heroes of ours, ain't they?
GRUNDY: Really...what? What were you saying, sir?
ROTTEN: They're wonderful people.
GRUNDY: Are they?
ROTTEN: Oh yes! They really turn us on.
JONES: But they're dead!
GRUNDY: Well suppose they turn other people on?
ROTTEN: Well that's just their tough sh*t.
GRUNDY: It's what?
ROTTEN: Nothing. A rude word. Next question.
GRUNDY: No, no, what was the rude word?
ROTTEN: sh*t.
GRUNDY: Was it really? Good heavens, you frighten me to death.
ROTTEN: Oh alright, Siegfried...
GRUNDY: What about you girls behind?
MATLOCK: He's like yer dad, innie, this geezer.
GRUNDY: Are you, er...
MATLOCK: Or your grandad.
GRUNDY: (To Sioux) Are you worried, or are you just enjoying
yourself?
SIOUX: Enjoying myself.
GRUNDY: Are you?
SIOUX: Yeah.
GRUNDY: Ah, that's what I thought you were doing.
SIOUX: I've always wanted to meet you.
GRUNDY: Did you really?
SIOUX: Yeah.
GRUNDY: We'll meet afterwards, shall we?
JONES: You dirty sod. You dirty old man!
GRUNDY: Well keep going, chief, keep going. Go on, you've got
another five seconds. Say something outrageous.
JONES: You dir...you dirty bastard!
GRUNDY: Go on, again.
JONES: You dirty f**ker!
GRUNDY: What a clever boy!
JONES: What a f**king rotter.
GRUNDY: Well, that's it for tonight. The other rocker Eamonn,
and I'm saying nothing else about him, will be back tomorrow.
I'll be seeing you soon, and I hope I won't be seeing you again.
From me, though, goodnight.

Muttley, why did you come back from uk?And how was your stay? What would you say are the main pro and cons compared to life in italy?

muttley 02-10-2023 20:35

Re: Speak in English, please.
 
Because the tiny young british fawns weren't interested in me so I decided to settle for the dear old concettine

muttley 02-10-2023 20:41

Re: Speak in English, please.
 
Pros: there are less italians around (still too many for my liking, btw)
Cons: the cost of living is too high

I'm considering running away from this country, as soon as I can.

It depends on your field of expertise: if you're majoring in engineer, IT, economics and so forth you'll be likely to find good job opportunities (provided you're willing to work long hours, sometimes even 70+ per week), otherwise it will be hard to make ends meet, just like here.

Re: Speak in English, please.
 
I used to know a guy who majored in translation or something like that and worked as a free lance translator (he mastered a very rare language like dutch); when he moved to London he started to work as a project manager.

Probably, but the same could be said about several different jobs. I think the skills could potentially be re-used for other jobs or you could supervise the AI works to catch any error/misunderstanding of the machine, until they become ''perfect''.

Because (imho) his writing style is dull and too plain and simple. But I think he has a rich imagination.

CamillePreakers 02-10-2023 21:18

Re: Speak in English, please.
 
I like him *because* the style is simple. But I only truly appreciated ''the colorless tsukuru tazaki and his years of pilgrimage''... I didn't like the characters or the plots of his other books I've read.
I should definitely start to read more again though. Seroquel made art works more boring for me.
What books would you recommend? Japanese authors especially.

Please enlighten us about the permasquint ratio you’ve reached both in UK and Italy.

Is it easier in UK if you have downturned eyes and a bad jawline?

I too have read The colorless, etc. and for me it is one of the best books of Murakami.

You can try Ogawa Yoko's books. Her book have a strange dreaming atmosphere and the plots are original and refreshing.

I will try to see if I can find one on library z, if not I will look for her books next time I have the time and the will to go to the library.
What do you think of Gillian Flynn or Niccolò Ammaniti, if you have read them?Or do you just read asian literature?

I never heard of Gillian Flynn... And I read only one of Ammaniti's books, Anna, but i don't like italian literature, i think it is too realistic.
I read many japanese books, but I like very much fantasy and science fiction books, and the authors of this genres are primarly from the english speaking countries.

I'm not sure if you'd like her now that I know your tastes. She writes thriller/psychological horror books. My new name is the name of the main character of one of her books, ''sharp objects''.
I used to love fantasy when I was younger but since I've started medications 10 years ago half of my imagination is gone and I can no longer appreciate things that are too abstract/imaginary like I used to. I'd give it a try if the characters and the overall plot seems interesting though.
Not books but I liked ''norogami'' and ''fruit basket''.

The grammar and the accent are more difficult, but it's a romance language like italian or french so if you put in more effort/change method you might end up finding some aspect of the language easier.
If you truly want to do it you can do it.

I woke up at 6. I was trying to go to the bathroom& wanted to go back to sleep, but I ended up tripping and falling on my way out, then couldn't fall back asleep because I was too awake.

It's a werid language, I've never studied any French but I've heard it's a language full of little quirks, grammar rules and exceptions to those rules, the pronunciation isn't consistent with the written language, or in better terms, what you say doesn't correspond to what you write, and even more annoying there's no word to indicate the number eighty I believe and you just say 4 times 20.... -_-

Yes my left hand and my knees were hurt. But I feel a bit better now. I'm more bummed that I've spent the last months sleeping poorly for a reason or the other and by 14-15 I'm going to feel horribly tired already.
I'm going to buy some things I need for home and then start studying& will try to go to sleep early. How are you?

I wonder if depression can cause waking up too much during the night& problems falling back asleep? :interrogativo: I have depression as part of the bipolar but usually before I'd either don't sleep or have problem starting to sleep, but then I'd do 9 hours or 8 and be ok. Now I wake up a lot and sometimes I cannot go back to sleep or feel tired anyway.

I wonder if this will ever end.

I have studied french since elementary school. You have made an accurate summary. On the other hand like I said in some ways its similar to our own language due to our shared latin origins.
Beautiful language overall, but the ''quirks'' will ensure my grammar will suck forever :sisi::sisi:

Well, that sucks...
I don't really know if depression or bipolar disorder can cause insomnia (that could be the case tho)... anyway, it ain't great.

Have a good rest :)
