Hi Tamara!

With your recent reply you gave me interesting information. I?d like to talk to you more. Unfortunately, today I have few time only because I?m preparing my hay for pressing and later I?m used to put it in the stable. I?m happy: This year have been supercalifragilisticexpedialdocious whether for making the first hay!

See you later

Michael

Michael, I wish you (and your horse) every success with your hay.

Hi Team English-test.net,

Just to comment: you (nothing personal) have changed the title of my thread at your choice, without asking me and with no any explanation. That’s strange...

Hi Tamara!

As you see, I didn?t have had much time this afternoon. Of course I meant supercalifragilisticexpedialdocious weather! After putting the hay into the stable, I think my horses and I will enjoy the hay. Thank you for your good wishes.

About the changing of your headline: I think, Torsten did that as he had the impression that you enjoy this site. I also think that he didn?t have a bad intention while he changed your title. For me, it was his impression that you like the site. Torsten is a really kind and positive person, who shows his impressions this way because he is really buisy. I?m sure he followed our talk and changed your title from this reason.

By the way, what interested me, why did you chose the title : as is..))?

Hi Michael,

I also didn’t have any bad intention when saying (in fact): I’d generally just like to be sure that my words (expressions, sentences) saying or writing in a context, remain my words, even though they are not the best.
(Of course, I know, my English is not very good and millions of people could rewrite or express my own feelings or to present myself much better than me ).

I am also familiar with rules of moderation and submit them. If I break a law ) I am ready not to find in the early morning some evening posts

Hey Michael!

Since you're a haymaker, I'm sure you'll be interested in knowing that there are a few idioms and expressions in English that use the word hay.

So, let's make hay while the sun shines (take advantage of the opportunity):
- Some people have an allergic condition called hay fever.
- If things go terribly wrong, you can say they've gone haywire.
- If you're very tired and need sleep, you should hit the hay (go to bed).
- If you need to hit the hay because you desperately need sleep and can barely keep your eyes open, you probably don't have enough energy for a roll in the hay.
- You can use Google to find the definition for 'a roll in the hay'. It probably won't be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's not an impossible task. You can find it quite easily.

Have I now made hay of your haymaking?

Hi Tamara!

Sorry for being late this evening, but I have less time as I started a job today. Nevertheless I liked going on talking to you.

You seem to have had an exciting weekend although the two natives with their cockney speech - have you refered to old blabbermouthes? - made you smiling and nodding and trying to be nice? If my assumption were right, let me tell you, that something similar happens to me often even in my mother tongue. And also what about beer?

The entertainments with the dogs must have been really interesting for you. Last year I was at an international breeder show concerning Arabian horses. Standing on the tribunes a woman stood beside me and talked to me in good old American English and as I hadn?t improved that time my English, I felt like you with your two cockney speakers! Funny was that my wife who don?t speak much English translated ( more interpreted) the women?s words to me, so that at last the sense of her talking was that she was very excited because her husband showed one horse which won the third place finally. This was funny, wasn?t it?

By the way, would you mind if I ask you what you intent to do at the next weekend?

Hope to see you soon,

Michael

Hi Tamara!

I had lliked to answer your post yesterday evening yet, but as I had worked the whole day long in a hot and sticky work hall ( 40 degrees and jumping up and down a stairway the whole day long) my brains had been burnt out. I not even understood the soccer WM. When I came home I had been silly like a piece of bread!

Have I understood you the right way that you couldn?t correct your own post from another work station than yours at home? That were an interesting cognition. I mean should I ever have a job at a computer at any company I probably couldn?t reply with my own synonym?

I hope you didn?t mind or wonder why I asked you about your plans for the next weekend. I did it because you mentioned that at your EOSL exam such a question could come and I only wanted to request you to prove it here. I hope that it wasn?t to pushy.

Sorry, your recent post was really long and interesting, so I don?t know on which point I sould answer. In spite of that I enjoyed it. Really nice were the link to the old English women?s site with their petition against beer. Although I didn?t really understand it, I played with the imagination to talk to such old British women as I sometimes like drinking the one or the other beer Once in a year my wife and me take place at an event with a bunch of relatives. The event is called celebration of shooting the bird. We try to shoot a wooden bird from a pillar, but the main sense of that event is supposed to get drunk as much as you can, at least for me it seems to be that. While the wifes mostly drink coffee and few alcoholic drinks the men seem to have a match about who can stand it most long. I almost ever loose that contest. But that doesn?t matter.

Hey, I?m babbling and babbling

See you soon!
