Hello Barbepeople around the planet!

I'm Taverneiro (may ask what this mean), and I'm joining this great forum.

Hope to find good friends and discussions, and 'd be glad to help too.

Thats it, hello everybody!

Hey there. Care to dance?

Taverneiro

13:41 / 30.04.04

olá, Grey Area! good portuguese, where are you from and how did you learn it (it's kind though)?

Don't mind to dance at all! =)

Hi Taverneiro. Does your name signify that you are a hero of hostelries and pubs?

I did a cut and paste as well and fed Grey Area's second post into babelfish - clicked on Spanish to English by mistake.

It turns out that Babelfish's Spanish to English translation of "Como pode ver!" is "As it prunes to see!"

Try it yourself

On a more serious note, "good friends and discussions" is what I've got out of the place... I hope the same is true for you.

Taverneiro

Hum, babelfish, huh?! That explains a few things...

And no candles for me, thanks... I know some people here and got to tell that down here we don't have such things... but is antropologicaly very interesting.

And I think I might make some good friends here, if you excuse my bad english and my weird thoughts...

or just the bad english (and I have babelfish now!)

Weird thoughts are more than welcome here, Taverneiro, as is bad English if it's of the second language variety.

Bad English of the !!!!skool sukks, I fukkin hate it dont UUUU!!!! variety doesn't go down so well however.

Taverneiro

23:14 / 01.05.04

Thanks olulabelle, wrote it down in the back of my hand...

Which bit?!

So far I got "weird stuff = good", "bad english = ok", "babelfish is my friend", "Say no to candles" and "skool sukks, I fukkin hate it dont UUUU = what kind of people write like this???"

So, Taverneiro, what do you do for kicks?

I just started on a port thing. For my health, you see. One glass after dinner every day.

And can I just say that I don't use Babelfish...I do actually have rudimentary Portugese skills. And a dictionary.

Taverneiro

12:15 / 02.05.04

oh no, I'm not one of those one-time posters, I swear!

Actually I had a barbelith account once, but since it was more than a year without using it (and the fact I forgot my login and pass...), I decided to register again and start all over.

Grant, for now I'm going indoor climbing every saturday... I really recommend that for stressed people who cannot afford a good Porto.

And Grey Area, I never doubted your portuguese skills AND dictionary! I just think babelfish is a wonderfull tool for those who can't speak a language at all, since it always shows full sentences with right spealling and verbal tenses... it's just wonderfull!
