I was going to read that one, but I never had the strength to pick it up. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Well, we know what you're having for supper tonight...
Me, I've dug two Welsh Black rump steaks out of the freezer and they are defrosting ready to go in the Sous Vide. Peppercorn and Whiskey sauce, chips, grilled tomato - sorted!

We will be finishing off what fresh food we have in the house. Probably going to be a Quicky* followed by Fruit Salad.

Course you don't get bloody wafers with it. Albatross! Gannet-onna-stick!

Beside the new CDs mentioned below, I also ordered a nice book to learn to speak Czech. Any tips/tricks on that language (or hidden Czechs around)?
I know that @Argonia and @Nagy-Vilmos have a strong connection to Hungary|Bulgaria, but don't know how the languages are connected (e.g. Italian has words in common with french - Sorry, Carlo!) - Would it be easy to learn Czech first, and then apply parts of the newly learnt skills onto Bulgarian|Hungarian?
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

No, that doesn't really help. Besides that, Ballack[^] speaks German

When he said most of the time, I just assumed it was b'llocks.

A fair assumption, methinks, as he speak... oh! wait! I see what you did there!

Bulgarian is in the group of Slavic languages as Czech and Hungarian. This means they have similarities with the rest of the Slavic languages, some of them are closer (Bulgarian - Russian) than others (Bulgarian - Croatian) but knowing one of the languages in that group doesn't necessarily means that you will learn easily one or more than the rest.
For example i am Bulgarian but hardly understand Serbian(i don't recognize even one word).
The only advance you can gain is the way of the saying some specific sounds. For example English is more soft language than German and for Slavic group i can say that the sounds used in the words are nearly the same.
Good luck with your language study

Funny, but there are some issues with the hungarian character encodings, so unfortunately a lot of them just show up as "�" in my browser...

Hungarian is not Slavic! It is the world's best language for swearing but it is not related to any of the near languages.
I mean, any language with "baszd szájba a kurva anyádat" or "kurva anyád vérvörös picsát" is so worth learning. I will the translation, and application, of these to the discretion of the reader; though you may say they are a tad NSFW.

Sorry i am not so good with languages and I don't care about the language groups, but i want to clarify that every language is good for swearing and the kurva word is present in the bulgarian
