You want me to say it in English in German…?
In English: Try saying ‘Brauchst du mehr Kleidung?’ in German.

The real punchline is that her ‘chilling words’ were that it was a ‘bad noise’.

I’m nowhere near fluent, but I’m pretty sure that’s not how ‘perfekt’ is pronounced, though it sounds like something one might say when one burns one’s Kartoffelpuffer. Honestly, this Duolingo update is glitchy.

Duolingo just decided to rearrange all of the lessons. I’ve suddenly been dumped into lessons with material I haven’t learnt. I decided to go over old lessons to catch up. This is a sentence: Biscuits and tea, bye. What scenario is that for? All those times you order in a café and then run away?

TIL that the word ‘bull’ comes from bulô, and according to Wiktionary, ‘The original meaning may have been “testicle”’. This means that when it came to naming bulls, someone asked, ‘What’s that called?’ And someone replied, ‘I dunno, but have you seen the bollocks on it?!’

Duolingo thinks I can pronounce the German for United Kingdom correctly, but not the name of my own town, Amble.

My younger sister got me this for Christmas. It’s like a ‘Where’s Wally?’ (Or Waldo or other regional variant) book. It’s much easier than the ‘Finding Muhammad’ book she got me last year. That thing was impossible!
A book called ‘Finding Jesus’.

I bought some of this today, and on the way home, I noticed I had a split in my Regina. Plus, it was raining. Nothing worse than a wet Regina!

Since people have been asking me for the link to my new book, I decided to make business cards. Any suggestions about where I can stick them?

My mission to get Google to recognise that I'm not a football coach continues. I've added '"disambiguatingDescription":"British satirical author of The MisreadBible series (not the Arkansas football coach)."' to my site's schema!

I've noticed some people selling my books on eBay at inflated prices. These sellers aren't official stockists, and you can get my books cheaper on Amazon and other retailers.

Sometimes when I'm feeling blue, I watch this clip I took out of a Kenneth Copeland video. Never fails to amuse.
