Please be attentive while quoting. It was DanilaMe who said that, not you.

 

DanilaMe

 

Sorry, I'm very busy at the moment. I'll answer your post in the evening.

 

DanilaMe, why are you so tense? Relax... You need a good relaxing massage

Turn to Molly! This charming young lady is very good at it. But beware of victorian! Molly and he make up a virtual "sweet pair".

They are supposed to be in love with each other.

My contribution to the collection of pearls:

 

One of my pupils was to translate a sentence Джон порвал свои джинсы.

 

She used a dictionary: "Тааак...рвать....рвать....рвать...so many translations...found it!"

 

The translation was "John has vomited his jeans."  

 

When I explained to her what happened we both laughed so much that tears came to our eyes. But I praised her for using Present Perfect

That's hilarious! One of my students in class once asked me: "Could you give me a piece of shit?"

Can you guess what he needed?

Dear Molly,

 

Oh my god...... (yawning)

 

I am a little bit disappointed that my intent to entertain you with a practical discussion in crisp English language results in yawning. :-( I though this might be a wonderful opportunity to take part in interesting conversation. 

 

We are not having a FCE tutorial here, this is an English club for fun and entertainment, mostly for people with good sense of humour 

 

Of course we are not having an FCE tutorial here, and I wasn't promoting FCE drills in this topic.

 

Once again, if you did not not notice my answer above I would like to repeat it here. I do not see anything wrong with entertaining topics. Sometime they are terrific, bright and marvelous! Usually English clubs are created to inspire English language discussion on different kind of topics.  I find it fantastic that instead of just copy and pasting content from the Internet we are practicing good English here! I have a fundamental tenet that English languages comes first, and  fun and entertainment comes second.

 

 

DanilaMe, why are you so tense? Relax... You  need a good relaxing massage

 

I am not a taut person at all, trust me =). You might have noticed these discussions provide a valuable opportunity for me to use these new difficult words that I would like to add to my active dictionary. 

 

As for a relaxing massage I am a big fan of it especially after my BJJ training. Above in this topic Lady LG suggested to inquire you about this terrific massage. Tell me more about it!

Hi, Englishaddict! You are a pretty girl

 

I think the student needed a sheet of paper

   Oh, one more English teacher! Join us! Now we're three: Molly, you and me!

 

One of my students in class once asked me: "Could you give me a piece of shit?" Can you guess what he needed?

I guess he needed a sheet of paper. Or a piece of chalk?

Oh, the massage is fantastic! But i need to ask victorian first before telling you, he might get jealous

 

Just for fun. I felt tired after working in my garden, so I made up my mind to give work to my brains and translate a well-known fable. Nothing personal< i just like it

 

                                      A bear at the ball.

 

Deep in the wood, under a pine

There was a party, gay and fine.

A big grey rabbit all at once

Performed a table dance.

They all and even serious deer

Were drinking cold and tasty beer.

Racoon and badger, foxy cub

Danced like that Tarzan in strip club.

Two cuckoos and a drunken lark

Sang songs of Queen and Linking Park.

 

Then suddenly there came a bear

Sticking his big nose here and there.

Why do hares drink cognac “Five Stars?”

Why do the hedgehogs smoke cigars?

Why is the woolfie dancing nude

And kissing sweet Red Riding Hood?

Why does the tiger sniff cocaine

And mix tekila with champagne?

Why are the polecat and the deer

Quoting the sonnets of Shakespeare?

 

With all those Why and Why? What for?

It wasn’t merry any more.

And animals felt bored and sad,

They hurried home and went to bed.

The moral is now clear to all:

Why did the bear come to the ball?

Great news! What kind of massage therapy do you practice.

Who said a gay party could be fine!? )) Beware, MIlonov is sending his kozaks 

 

 

 

Just joking! You did a great job, I  appreciate it! )

Great!!!   I would never have done anything like that!

Here is my poetic reply to goad the discussion:

 

The party was gay, 

The creatures were brave

But they have forgotten how to behave

They don't realize that sniffing cocaine

Is really bad…

But who is to blame?

If animals feel that it is alright

You better not spoil 

Their orgy tonight!

Thank you, Molly =) You are quite right!

Thank you, ladies!)

I think he couldn't decide "a piece of paper" and "a sheet of paper" ))

So lets stay friends and develop this fertile topic together!

No doubt, we’ll remain friends. We’re having a discussion. If everyone agreed, it wouldn’t be a discussion.

 “Although I disagree with what you say, I will defend to the death your right to say it.”   (Voltaire)

 

Does anybody know if it is possible to use apostrophe sign on this forum? I

I can’t understand what you’re talking about. (’) This sign? Press capital “Э” on the keyboard, that’s all.

 

Usually English clubs are created to inspire English language discussion on different kind of topics.

I’m sure your improvements will be useful for everybody and more people will join us. The more members we have, the more interesting our talk will be.

“Have flag, will go!” (I looked it up in the dictionary: “Флаг тебе в руки!”)

quote name="DanilaMe" post="3115087"] there is a group of individuals that are very sensitive to such issues

Thank heavens, we deal with sensible people here, but just in case:

- Don’t write any “blonde jokes”: I’m fair-haired, and I’m very sensitive. I may be offended.

- You mustn’t write about lazy students, especially teenagers: they’re very sensitive too.

- You should avoid writing “senior people”, “nationality”, “husband-and-wife”, “lawyer”, “doctor” jokes. Some people can find them offensive. Shall I go on?

 

Of course, I’m kidding. Good luck! See you!

 

PS Is that your little son in the photo? What a nice boy! How old is he?

Lovely quote, thank you!

 

I would like to comment that I never made a big deal of the discussed issue. I just had a tiny concern about it, and I wanted to find out your point of view as well as the positions of the other honored English Club members.

Well, I use it all the time on many social media resources. However it doesn't work correctly on pudhkino.org, and I can't figure out why. Maybe that's my browsers fault....

 

Of course, I’m kidding. Good luck! See you!

 

PS Is that your little son in the photo? What a nice boy! How old is he?

 

Agreed! Yes, that's my little son Max. He is two and a half years old and he is already English language fan since his English vocabulary is almost as big as Russian.   Max says hi to every follower of this topic.

Sorry, not capital. Small. Capital is for (") If I were you, I'd try all the keys: English, Russian, capital, small. The sign must be somewhere.

 

Max says hi to every follower of this topic.

My best regards to him!
