I meant that "ANYONE" can win, and this bloke that had been living in a hostel dorm with 15 others spent £15 on the OMAZE lottery won the big prize. So don't be surprised if Abdullah wins the Euromillions £210Mill. ;-)

Nobody. It gets a bit of black mould under there so I periodically clean and disinfect it, followed by a couple of fresh coats of paint. (lack of air circulation and a warm damp area).

There is a theory that it is a self portrait by the artist (L D'V) who liked to dress up as a wimmins. Look closely and you can see manly features in the face.

This is for @Stanleysteamer because we were all discussing how easy/hard it is to learn another language.

I've just watched it, and he speaks the truth.

Any one in the world who only speaks one language is actually in a minority. A big minority but nevertheless.
Even W agreed with him.
The biggest problem is the one where he said "live the language" that actually isn't easy unless you go and live in the country.
I do know a guy who learned 4 languages in two years, he wanted to own his own transport company. So he lived in each of France, Spain Germany and Italy.
He also ended up with a French wife along the way. (I intorduced them!)
He soon did own the company, although he since gave it up and I lost touch so I don't know why.

What he DIDN'T say is that too many people are forced to learn it to pass exams and exams etc are written by old f@rts who demand precision in all forms of it. Not simple communication. THIS puts people off. And was the battle I had to face all the time.
I once had a student at A level who had only recently come from living in France. He spoke it perfectly, and perfectly colloquially. He also understood (listening comp) and read (Reading comp) perfectly. But his writing was poop. Sooooo many mistakes.
As I was the grammar teacher it fell to me to try and make him realise this.
He hated me and stopped coming to my lessons.

I would also take issue with one thing he said. That it is a myth that you have to be young to learn a language.
It has been proven that if you do not learn your first language before your brain develops you'll never be able to learn one. This has been proven by the few odd cases where a human baby or small child was left to die and ended up being brought up by wolves or monkeys or whatever. There were not many, but they got to adulthood never having learned a language and were never able to learn one. BUT, once you have learned one language then yes you can learn another.
But it does help to be young. 2 of our grandchildren are a case in point. Our son married a Japanese lady, their children both learned English and Japanese from birth, then they moved to France and learned French, the youngest one learning it faster than the eldest. Then they started to learn Chinese, for which the eldest won prizes.

All good fun!

Looking up the story he references back packing in spain, when saying he was in a 15 bed dorm.

Burn them and start again. Some varieties only live for one season, others will come back each year. But if they have been diseased best to burn them.

Just checked our lotto tickets, we won €5.80 back so not too bad, moren half our bet!
