We?ve just met some Russians who are staying in a house across the road from us. They speak no English at all and my Russian is limited to ?yes?, ?no? and ?goodbye?.
Miraculously, through a series of hand gestures and grunts Mrs. Barman invited them round to dinner on (we think) Thursday night at (we think) seven?
So, I thought it would be a good idea to print out some useful Russian phrases from the tinterweb so that we could communicate a little ? even if we have to point at the words on the paper.
And that is how I?ve just discovered that Моё судно на воздушной подушке полно угрей is a ?useful Russian phrase? for ?my hovercraft is full of eels?.
Advice please on how I can squeeze this gem into the conversation?
noooo:

I have a terrible story about a hovercraft. In Mexico City. In a job interview. Not good cry:
Also, eels and hovercraft. It is a risk. In my experience, so it could be fun lol:
-
I should obtain the Russian for:
1."Have another Vodka?"
2."You're my best mate, you are"
Also, don't eat anything they bring, while they are watching.
It is easy to offend by spitting "speciality of wife's village" into the sink and using Jeyes Fluid as a mouthwash to remove the aftertaste.

Advice:
D'y'know, I have a friend called Nick... That should introduce the hovercraft/eel subject quite neatly.
That leads me naturally to timorously inquire after the fate of Mexico City...

I seem to recall a Collins Italian phrase book which contained the useful phrase (in the Hairdressing section)
"Stop, the water is too hot. You are scalding me."
Probably better ways to communicate that than reading it out in phonetic italian.

They (the son that likes a drink) arrived just over a week ago....
We've been avoiding them, not looking in the garden when we walk the dog, etc. for fear of being sucked into a big drinking session....
But yesterday we realised that they have been very quiet... and that the car had been moved off the drive when they first got here but hadn't moved from the road outside their house since...
So we went to investigate...
No sign of them, knocked on the door no answer...
Garden furniture blown all over the garden...
Garage door hanging off its hinges...
Washing on the line...
We tidied up the garden, I managed to 'fix' the garage door...
Then we let ourselves in to see if they were dead in their beds...
Front door wasn't locked - just pulled-to...
Downstairs bathroom window open...
His wallet on the kitchen table with all his credit cards and ID...
It was like the Mary Celeste... eeek:

We expected to cross the road and eat at theirs but they were waiting outside the gate in their car...
...they'd booked a table at a local restaurant that is frequented by expats at lunchtime...
So, it was full of expats wearing wife-beater vests - and that was just the 'ladies'.... noooo:

And the saga has yet another chapter
Tourist: "Hi. My visit to Tanzania has been beautiful, gorgeous. The people are fabulously wonderful and friendly. Greetings are always jambo [the Swahili equivalent of Hello]. Happy to be here. The land is beautiful, beautiful. The animals are wonderful."
Guide (translating): "You Tanzanians complain/cry a lot about hunger. Everyday you cry about hunger when you have flowers at home. Why don't you boil the flowers and drink [them]. It is not good to cry/complain about hunger."

In the apartment next to ours there is a Russian family on holibobs...
They don't speak English.
They spend all day on the beach and Dad cooks pork chops on the BBQ when they get home.
Had to explain to them this evening that a cat had been licking all the grease off the BBQ and tools all day using just mime... facepalm:
On another front, it appears that our Russian neighbours at the big house have fallen on hard times! eeek:
They need to sell the house, the cars, etc. and can we help? They prolly won't be back! scared2:
