Had to say to my Polish decorator on Monday - I am talking to him in sorta signed language - but anyway - told him that if he wanted me to hear him that he had to show his face to me so that I could lipread - he in his broken English "but I thought you needed ears" "yes you do but I need all eyes and ears to "hear" to be functional. But thought to myself (if I don't then I become dysfunctional).
Between his understanding of the English language and my speeth impediment - we get on great. Lovely wee fella

Polish guy on Monday looked around and said "I be here for one week" - says I under my breath - if I have my way you will be here for 3 weeks as I need so much done inside and out which he can do but at this moment in time I think he is booked up for some time. I am just taking one day at a time "Sweet Jesus" that's all I'm asking from you". You know the song

o god I got that on the train the other night - that fact I could use the phone 'proved' conclusively I wasnt deaf and didnt need to sign. ....
you werent that drunk romanian woman on the train from Brum were you ? anyway I said to her in return: your english is so good you couldbe working for the romanian secret police
which like a lot of my jokes on AB
she didnt find funny at all !
anyway technically the telephones filter out sibillants ( high pitched sounds, esses) which cue a lot of english words. This accounts for us all finding foreign languages v difficult to understand
