Drew Mitchell Reveals Chorea-Acanthocytosis Diagnosis

"Finding it increasingly difficult to bite my tongue........," Mitchell tweeted earlier today.

I'm sure you will all join me in wishing him the best while he combats this debilitating disorder.

More to come on the Deans v Cooper saga?

Deans is headed for the exit. My end of 4N prediction looks more and more likely!

I'm warming up my I TOLD YOU SO thread.

Deans will be hatcheted while he is away on tour. Classic stuff. I imagine Ewen McKenzie is already measuring up the office.

Bob Dwyer and Alan Jones will be happy men I'm sure

It'll not stop him, he'll tweet Muabe Mooper mis mah mknob

Cooper has spoken of a poisonous environment and complained about the conservative play of the Wallabies.

Makes it even more difficult to understand how they've managed to win their past two games.

We now know what it would look like if Gavin Henson was born in Tokoroa.

Except Cooper was actually a good player at one point...

Fantastic medical joke, AWOP, especially using a pun in your second language!

Congratulations, your English appears to be greatly improving the more you post here!

I don't rest CJ! I just improve. I am relentless!

Or did you consider that medicines first language is not English either?

This is true but the bit of your post that relied on a pun was reliant on understanding an idiom in English, which is very impressive, it's practically the stage that denotes fluency! Congratulations

Homework for you CJ: Diese senf brennt wie teufel auf meiner zunge.

That's not an idiom though, that makes sense without any context as a straight translation.

Also kann ich niche wirklich verstehen, was Sie sagen versucht haben

That should read nicht but German and autocorrect are a bad mix

Hayibo!
All these foreign languages!

Only 1!

Yeah, fantastic facepalm counterargument. Say what you like but it's a fantastic testament to your improved English that you could come up with a joke like that when not long ago your posts couldn't work on one meaning of a word never mind two. Well done, genuinely impressive progress. I wish I could make jokes like that in a second language, I'm just jealous

But I've got to say I detest the use of that Picard smiley, I feel it manages to be condescending without attempting to make an argument and tries to imply inferiority in another whilst desperately striving to avoid exposing the user's inadequacy to argue back

Yes. It does. I was only just saying that Germany is not our first languages, but we can understand easily if there is some wordsmith trickery. We don't always need to know in the language every dark corner to construct the same fun in any grammar, or syntax.
