| Wine Kamikaze, Welcome to the forums. And we'll EXCUSE you for your English, not EXECUTE (that would mean we're killing you).  You get an A-plus simply for trying and I'm sure these forums are as good a place as any to sharpen your language tools.
Cheers! And remember: Life's too short to drink bad wine.

Although some here do get slaughtered once in a while.  Welcome to the boards and since no one else corrected you out on the topic word of your post, I will - It's: "HELLO", "Helo" is dragonish. |

Ha ha ha... I was thinking the same exact thing.  (Why doesn't this surprise me?).

| Rothko, did you use babel fish? If so you have to keep it simple, no slang, the smaller the words the better.
pissing people off since 1971!

I also do not think that babel fish can translate Vulcan.

| Please make for happiness! I wish much pleasant encounters with posters of winespectator. Making english sentences were hard someday and wish I do wine loving and drinking brings many people together for joyful satisfacttory understanding with each person and togetherness. I like America and Japan to produce much more friendship we need so much worldwidth. Wine can do this. We have not production for very nice wine in Japan, sake yes we know making of this beauty drink, but it is not red.  Why we not making red sake is very questioned as it would bring joyness to drinkers of many drinks. Posts reading is pleasure for time i translate it gives me time practicing English communications with new friends. Grunhauser likes to cook things very much, good things and many other things I don't see very much in Japan. Purpledays writes not so much for food and drinking but friendly he is very much to many good posters. Many good postings exists in this string. Symbol of niceness and contemptement. Why make troublesome existance tonight? We can get it on along together with groups of drinking wine individualities. I shall posting drink note of much importance to my wine taste now. |

| Honour remains yours, Wine Kamikaze, as you tower cracefuly above dwarfs.... employed on the wharf of mental fishing expeditions of the past. Look forward to your postings, many to come I presumably understand. Don't be shy, your english is much better than most speak of here. They think highly of themselves, but they do not know the basic rules engagement between vowels and consonants, and lets avoid the topic of punctuation altogether. Native they are still, we give them credit for that and forgive.
p.s.NWR - Which is your favorite pokemon idol? I hate to sound privincial, but I find it hard to move past the disarming likeability of Pikachou. |
