Whenever I hear the Swedish language, I think of the chef on the muppets

I saw a couple of crows, is that a murder or was that an attempted murder ?

If it was in Midsomer it was definitely a murder

Even Monkeys can speak French, Avez vous cuppa !

Quite possibly but he was heard to say “Fur goodness sake Jean, I’m in the middle of a murrderr case”.

Of memory serves me correctly when the detective Jardine (I think that’s his name) said the famous words “there’s been a murder” Taggarts reply was something like “there’s a murder at Firhill every week” for those who don’t know Firhill is home of Partick Thistle FC who Taggart supported.

It always amazes me the difference in accent and words used going from town to town, when I moved to Dumfries in my teens from Glasgow it took a while to understand each others dialects. When I first met my girlfriend now long suffering wife she thought my name was Jacob, how you get that from Gerry I’ve no idea but I think it was about 3 or 4 weeks before she realised

Even now in my 50s if we go south Lorraine has to translate for me at times , she says it’s funny as I just start talking faster when they don’t understand and the look on folks faces.

Raining today but as much as I try to get her to say it, it’s always “lainey “ ..

I find it strange that the letters X, J and G are all often pronounced as H in some Mediterranean languages ?

Even the bits of metal you use to fill in the gaps on kitchen worktops are baguettes.

I'm told, there are many more unattractive traits one could find in a person?

(I was going to say woman, then I thought, better not!)

In Spanish, a G is hard normal G when it starts a word eg 'garaje' but pronounced like an H in the middle of a word so angel = anhel. J is always pronounced as H.

Next year, let's have a language Rally, a different language each day with wine of that country to accompany.

Nothing serious, just polite greeting etc.

Cheers! Yamas, Proost, Skal!
