Okay, if they can be found in the USA, France and the Netherlands they're really well-known. Never mind...the USA has the same fairy-tales (some) which we have in Europe.
That's a surprise...
 
the stories do tend to change, thats what i learned in french class this year, every country has their own little twist, more or less, which derives from ones culture.
 
Hey Kris! I didn't know we were neighbours! Cool!

Next holiday I will be in Belgium w/my family!

:D

Holiday-atmosphere...:)
Whom has got holidays in the next 4-8 weeks? My school-holidays start next week. Wednesday to say it exactly. They last 6 weeks. Of which I'll travel one away and one I'll go to a summer-university concerning different sciences.
 
2 months holidays straight ahead! I already had one in May, and would have had one in June if it hadn't been for that Calculus summer course...
At McGill uni we have 4 months studying (Sep-Dec), 10 days of vacation at Christmas time, 4 other months (Jan-Apr), and then 4 months vacation, where lots of students take summer courses...

But from now on until September, HOLIDAAAAAY! :cool:
(with a summer job at the European Space Agency in Paris in the month of August :) )...
 
Kris: What do you want at the northpole? Building an iglu?
Dogs-races with an ice-bear behind you (I think they live at the northpole)? Cool....in the best sense of that word. Much fun.*g* Don't freeze. Whom should I make angry here then if you're frozen away.:D
And mpanty: I hope your job is funny.:) It just sounds so.
And I thought I had long vacations. I really have to study. So many holidays...
 
Kris doesn't hate anyone! Haven't noticed the "Love, Kris" signature, everytime he closes a thread or bans someone? ;)

Distributing the mail, so much for amusement! <G>
But it pays 5000 FF for one month, i.e. around $700, so I'm not complaining... :cool:

Funny - Something a person laughs at.
Fun - Something a person enjoys.

I'm not trying to be annoying, just helpful :).
 
Yes professor Quarto! BTW, when is your "OLD ENGLISH SYNTAX and GRAMMAR" lecture scheduled? I have pool on Wednesday, and I don't know if I can attend...

[I know you're trying to help Fishbone, but you really called for a sarcastic comment! :p]

Yeah, I guess I did ;). Still, when you know that someone's not a native English speaker, and see them making the same mistake repeatedly, it's your duty to straighten them out :).
 
Okay I hope he has fun with his job. (Just one correct sentence. I become better).
Oh my guiness, I believe if you'd begin to correct my posts you'd have quite a lot to do. I sometimes get annoyed by my own faults. *g*
And Kris: Sorry, but I never saw you laughing/making any joke before. I was surprised.:)
 
*g* It's okay. It was a clue and so well...I'Ll take it like that. Like you know if someone else had said that I'd have reacted different. Very different. :)
I know he just wanted to help me. In this case I like that form of critic. But I don't like people whom only critize...in an evil way.
