Yeah! yeah! yeah! Just dont forget how many of you would be having a converssation with me in my language??? lol
You can take a piss ok I dont mind ! have been in much worse situation becouse of a poor knowledge of the ‘Queen’s’ language…
Enjoying the moment that I’m already embarrassed I will tell you guys one of the troubles I have been through becouse of it… Let me choose one less want-to-kill-myself…
Ok! My first use of the wash machine!
I had this really nice pair of trousers with me on my first week in London and i had to wash it. There was nobody in the house I was at the time.
So I got a chair and placed it right in front of the wash machine… I was studying the buttons… Found the ‘on and off’ buttons and thought, ‘this ones I know!’
Let me explane that in Brasil I always had it done for me. I had never been near one of those machines, or Cooker, or any domestic appliance…
Ok, sure enough had to find the SOAP ! The wash machine was in the kitchen and by the sink, near the cooker. So, I went upstairs to my bedroom and got throught my dictionary to find the word SOAP from Portuguese to English.
Found it, closed the dictionary, went rushing down stairs repeating to myself ‘SOAP,SOAP,SOAP,SOAP,SOAP!’ Got to the kitchen and started to look for the thing. Found on the next door shelf quite a few packs of it (in my thoughts). Opened the pack, put it into the w ash machine… Closed the door and pressed ‘on’ …
I sat there for a while looking at my beloved, and very expensive designer trousers spinning arount inside that thing… I start to regrect to tell you guys it now…
Anyway! I made a mistake! but only for one letter!!! Instead the bloddy SOAP, I got the bloddy SOUP out of the shelf !!!
Yeah, yeah! you can laugh! My truosers? I had to throw it away off course! How the hell would I explane to the house owner what I have done without speak English???
