Nice advices from all. I cannot help wondering, when reading all those threads where Nathalie posts: how come, after all the advices and comments, she never seems to evolve or improve (I dont mean her English, but rather her viewpoint, her approach etc). Nathalie always write the same things, over and over. It reminds me of a software program we studied when I was in school, it was called Eliza I think. It would try to reproduce human conversation and build up some little vocabulary on the way. You would type: what do you like to eat? The program would reply something like: so you want to know what I like to eat? And after a few back-and-forth it would look midly realistic. But when you stopped the program, and run it again, Eliza would have forgotten everything (no database or even a file). Nathalie is like this. My question to Nathalie is: are you a fembot?

For those of you who are interested in Science & Technology (capital S and T), I have just posted a picture of an exploding fembot here:

For the benefit of Nathalie25, or whatever her real name is, this electronic device contains digital samples of SIX MR. T SAYINGS:

I Pity The Fool
Don't Gimme No Back Talk, Sucka
Quit Your Jibba Jabba
Don't Make Me Mad (groan)
First Name Mister, Middle Name Period, Last Name T
Shut Up, Fool!

When the situation calls for it, just press the appropriate button and let Mr. T handle things in his Mr. T way.

You call me Frank? My new English nickname? Ok, Suzie. The man is the package is WAY more famous than puny Mel Gibson! It is Mr. T himself! Firstname Mister. Middle name period. Last name T.

I think Nathalie, or whatever her true name is, has indeed left the forum and is crying her eyes out. This is not her first hard lesson in life, after being nearly molested by her unscrupulous hotel manager, after meeting 569 foreigners who mistook her intentions about "language exchange" and after dancing with Fidel on the bar at Senses.

Some tribes believe that by eating their enemies brain they can acquired their intelligence. Some other tribes believe by drinking someone's semen they can acquire their knowledge (without pregnancy risk, however this is approved by the clergy only with little boys, as pere Benoist can testify). I read this in a book.

Frank, Suzie is not as good as Lemongrass, otherwise Lemonade is bearable for me.

Nathalie, why do you always call yourself TOUGH? Cannot get it. BTW, Frank never speaks DECENT English. Cannot you see he is not a native English speaker?!
