Ferny, suggestion: use Mark's or Vicky's (easy) or Ian's (Xmetals)... all of theirs are shorter and most of them are easier to fake than my signature, of all signatures!

So you like the word "Verbrennungsmaschine"? That is not even one of our longest. It means "car". OK, I see the difference. In spoken language, we call that thing "Auto". Easier!

Why do you have apples at your feet, Ferny?

 

[LaFoto]

Ah, and yes, Vicky, that thing really is from 1985. And I was OLD when I learned to drive a car! I was one of the grannies in class! I was 25! Imagine!

 

[ferny]

I playing with random words and sentances in the translator to see how much German I can still remember.

 

[doenoe]

we got pink licenses here too..................ill try and scan mine later today.
And German is a pretty funny language, hated it in school though. To many rules and stuff.

 

[Meysha]

Well obviously they fell out of the bag when he put it on his head. :roll:

 

[LaFoto]

And that brought the apples to your feet? Heehee! Well, as you are saying: to fool around with foreign languages can be fun.

 

[Meysha]

Die menschliche Fackel wurde ein Darlehen von Kreditinstituten verweigert.

Did that make sense?

 

[ferny]

And that brought the apples to your feet?

No, it's just that that sentance made more sense than the one about pies... :crazy:

Did that make sense?

You said it, so no! :greenpbl: :mrgreen:

 

[LaFoto]

Sorry, Vicky, Ferny: that sentence would not make sense ever, whether it's been said by Vicky (and can therefore not make sense, according to Ferny) or by anybody else.

 

[PlasticSpanner]

Har ha ha ha! They aint getting me on one of those new-fangled photo licences!

 

[ferny]

Give it a couple of years and I don't think you'll have much choice. :mrgreen:
Don't worry, you get a paper one to.

Have you tried to read the sentence in blue right above my mugshot in my licence?
"Beim Führen von Kraftfahrzeugen sind Augengläser zu tragen".
Who wants to venture into a translation of that one, hm?

 

[LaFoto]

And oh :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: - what have I said is "Verbrennungsmaschine"? "Car"?
I'll hand back my translator's licence this minute.

"Verbrennungsmaschine" is, of course, "engine".
"Kraftfahrzeug" is "car".
And this licence allows me to manouevre cars with engines! "Kraftfahrzeuge mit Verbrennungsmaschine". There you are!

How embarrassing, this mistake... :blushing:

 

[PlasticSpanner]

You've got to wear your glasses to drive. :blushing:

 

[Corry]

Wow...here you have to have your license renewed every..I think 5 years. You are only issued one once in Germany?
