Do you generally speak Hungarian? Or just want to be able to toast people?
Just to be able to toast people. Gëzuar!

When someone (generally on t' Web) gives a "helpful" answer that is actually anything but, of the following kind:
Bob: Does anyone have a good carbon underpants drying rig* they can recommend?
Bill: I just got one from Amazon.
OH GREAT BILL, THANKS FOR THAT! WHY NOT SAY:
"I bought one off the internet" or
"I bought one with money from another human being who had one for sale" !!!!
COS THAT WOULD BE EQUALLY AS FECKIN HELPFUL !!!!!
The other frequent example:
Bob: Anyone have a good route from New Paglia to Dripping Norton, preferably avoiding big hills?
Bill: I just use Google Maps, switch to cycle mode
OH THANKS A MILLION BILL, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT EXISTED !!!!
*or whatever, just for example

Sorry. No, I can't work this weekend because the voices in my head are telling me I need to clean my guns or bad things will happen.

I thought I asked you to clarify the problem. Instead you muddied the waters even more and then added some alligators.

No, it's one of those words I find very difficult to pronounce or say due to my post oral cancer speech impediment. Leeds is another one. I usually spell the words to folk and if that doesn't work, due to them not being able to spell and believe me, there are many that can't, I swap tweed for wool and Leeds for er Bradford!
