Iām not sure my daughterās school had that in mind when we had 2 weeks of fronted adverbials. I might give my mum a call later though and brush up on the old Deutsch.
I have a groove in my front tooth from stripping that stuff.
The lineys used to drag that shit out by the drum for kilometresā¦

I suppose it depends how ambitious kids are and how many opportunities they can get, Probably less now than ever before as we retreat from the rest of the world.
I have worked abroad and was constantly embarrassed by the language skills of most Europeans I met compared to my crap French. Travel broadens the mind, embracing other cultures first hand is a fantastic education.
Even going to things like the Munich HiFi show the majority of people demonstrating stuff would speak two or three langages.
If you learn a few languages as part of your educaton then maybe being a supervisor at a factory might not be the limit of your ambition.
Bosnia in 95
You werenāt there along with 3 Cheshire were you?
fuck no, 3 Div
Did you have snatch land rovers in Bosnia?
no we were armoured, providing the HQ for IFOR.
I mainly looked after the radio rebros out in the mountains
I get what youāre saying, I just think the reality for most doesnāt involve working abroad, or even travelling beyond the usual places where everyone speaks better English than they do. Sadly, our post Brexit world makes this even less likely. Maybe Iām just being a grump.
Nice, sadly canāt fit one of them in at home, but thinking of buying a snatch Land Rover atm
Holy horse shit my new worst thread has arrived. Whining about adverbials and reminiscing about Cadets.
Fuck, I wish I was dead.
If itās any consolation I hated the cadets
They gave me a life long dislike of The Armed Forces. Them, and being regularly reminded,by my family, about my closest cousin being a 2 star with enough medals to supply The Olympics.
Thereās a Field Martial Bill Slim who has a statue on Whitehall. Itās a rare enough surname, but I donāt think heās a relation.
Viscount Slim was born a few doors down from where I lived as a child in Bristol.
Iām partial to a marshal
parshal
Yeah thatās the bloke
