[Molly Malone 4 452]

and what about tha favourite songs

 

My favourite song is of course "Molly Malone"

It's an old Irish song and the best performer of it is Sinead O Connor (if i spell the name right).

I can't give a link here as my internet is very slow (i am at my country house), the youtube won't download.

The beginning is:

In Dublin's fair city

Where the girls are so pretty

I first laid my eyes on sweet Molly Malone.

How she wheeled her wheelbarrow (Yes, I have a wheelbarrow!)

Through the streets broad and narrow

Crying "Cockles and Mussels! Alive, alive...oh"

 

Do i sing good?

Thank you for the translation.

 

Самира

Your song sounds lovely!

 

I imagine Molly Malone with a wheelbarrow full of weeds...

[Самира 26]

Molly you sing perfect

[Lady LG 4 159]

Everyone is so active! That's very good!!!

 

Let's sum up. For the present we have:

 

1. A puzzle: "Sherlock Holmes was questioning three men who had been witnesses to a murder: Mr Franks, Mr Richards and Mr Andrews. It was a funny thing but their first names were Richard, Frank and Andrew too. Holmes remarked to Mr Richards on this. "Yes, I noticed that as well," he replied. "But none of us have the first name that matches our surname. My first name is Andrew." Can you give the full name of all three witnesses?" (It's easy!)

 

2. A riddle: "What is grey, has four legs and a trunk?" (It's not an elephant)

 

3. Misprint 22. The text below contains a mistake where one letter in a word is wrong. For example, if the word should be CAT it is printed as CAB.

 

SEARCH ABANDONED

Police at Peebles yesterday called off a search for a 20-year-old woman who is believed to have frowned after falling into the swollen River Tweed. Belinda Ludbock had been receiving treatment for depression.

 

4. Guess the last word: "The English have no national ................................. "

 

5. Quotations.

 

6. Proverbs.

 

7. Songs.

 

8. The story "Natasha from Russia."

 

Good night!

Identity

[Lady LG 4 159]

4. Guess the last word: "The English have no national ................................. "

 

Identity

Do you mean "национальные особенности", Самира? I'm afraid your answer is wrong. The English have national identity, for example they're considered to be polite, reserved and self-disciplined.

Molly you sing perfect smile.gif

 

Thank you, i have been practicing all day

Cuisine?

[Lady LG 4 159]

No, Molly! And what about fish and chips, lamb chops, roast beef, apple pie or Yorkshire pudding? These dishes are rather famous.

Some help: I didn't say "The British" because Scottish, Welsh and Irish people have it. So do the Russians.

2. A riddle: "What is grey, has four legs and a trunk?" (It's not an elephant)

Do you really know the answer? If you do, tell and explain it to everyone, please. I see it's difficult.

 

One of my favourite songs in English is old but I still enjoy listening to it.

It's "Woman In Love":

 

"I am a woman in love

And I'd do anything

To get you into my world

And hold you within.

It's a right I defend

Over and over again,

What do I do."

 

See you!

[Molly Malone 4 452]

I agree, i wanted to correct myself but my internet failed again. First wrote, than thought.

It's a mouse going on holiday

[victorian 8 436]

And this is one of my favourite song - The Rolling Stones - "Anybody Seen My Baby"

It`s quite philosophical thing.

 

She confessed her love to me

Then she vanished on the breeze

Trying to hold on to that was just impossible

She was more than beautiful

Closer to ethereal

With a kind of down to earth flavor

 

Close my eyes, it's three in the afternoon

Then I, I realize that she's really gone for good

 

Anybody seen my baby

Anybody seen her around

Love has gone and made me blind

I've looked but I just can't find

She has gotten lost in the crowd

One cool joke from Molly:

 

One day, Little Red Riding Hood is walking through the woods. She’s picking flowers when suddenly she sees the wolf in a bush. “My! What big eyes you have, Mr Wolf!” she says. The surprised wolf jumps up and runs away. A little further into the woods, Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again. This time he’s behind a tree. “My! What big ears you have, Mr Wolf!” says Little Red Riding Hood.

And once again the wolf jumps up and runs away.

Finally, about ten minutes later, the Little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf again. This time, he is behind a rock. “My! What big teeth you have, Mr Wolf!” says Little Red Riding Hood.

At which point the Big Bad Wolf jumps up and screams: “Will you please leave me alone! Can’t you see that I’m trying to go to the toilet?!”

 

 

[Molly Malone 4 452]

And this is one of my favourite song - The Rolling Stones - "Anybody Seen My Baby"

 

It's a great song, Victorian, but Angie is the best

 

Does anyone here listen to Queen, Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode or Muse?

 

"Is there anybody out there?"

I like this song but I prefer not to watch clips. Watching ususlly distracts me from listening.

"What is grey, has four legs and a trunk?" (It's not an elephant)

It's a mouse going on holiday

You're right!

trunk - 1. ствол 2. хобот 3. чемодан

 

Where did you get the joke about Little Red Riding Hood? Did you make it up yourself?

 

I see you like Oscar Wilde. Have you heard this quotation?

 

"The old believe everything; the middle-aged suspect everything; the young know everything."

(O. Wilde)

 

Bye!

LESLEY GARRETT MEMORY LYRICS

 

Midnight

Not a sound from the pavement

Has the moon lost her memory?

She is smiling alone

In the lamplight

The withered leaves collect at my feet

And the wind begins to moan

 

Memory

All alone in the moonlight

I can smile at the old days

I was beautiful then

I remember the time I knew what happiness was

Let the memory live again

 

Every streetlamp

Seems to beat a fatalistic warning

Someone mutters

And the streetlamp gutters

And soon it will be morning

 

Daylight

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of a new life

And I musn't give in

When the dawn comes

Tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin

 

Burnt out ends of smoky days

The stale cold smell of morning

The streetlamp dies, another night is over

Another day is dawning

 

Touch me

It's so easy to leave me

All alone with the memory

Of my days in the sun

If you touch me

You'll understand what happiness is

 

Look

A new day has begun
