    Well, i can't make out the top line to even confirm the nationality of the person, so top line is guessing from seeing such stuff before. Bottom line, the french, not so enlightening becuase the dressage terms are always in french, rather like ballet. Whats funny is how different nationalities pronounce them. I have a french friend who says the english ride in an ugly manner because we pronouce the movements in an ugly manner:D
    Google translate says the top line is Swedish, I would have guessed at German, but now it looks like a Scandinavian country tbh, not guttural enough for German.
    It's interesting that's for sure :)

    back on the old farting topic again:rotfl:

    well, the older my dog gets the more noisey farts he does, i was blaming hubby and the boys first, but then we realised it was the dog:rotfl:...

    The cat doesnt make a noise, just a smell:eek:.. which can be more over-powering than the dogs, or even hubby's farts:mad: I just smell of roses:D

    It's definitely not Swedish or Danish (I'm native) I would go with German or maybe a East European language.

    As for the cat fart my old moggy used to but my two pedigrees don't. They have left all my seedlings alone even if they do like to sit next to them on the floor.

    I was putting the dressage together with the German(?) language & thinking it may be something to do with the warm-bloods - maybe something with a Westphalian influence.

    What's the rider wearing? e.g. A cavalry uniform?

    No he won't - coz cats don't fart.....ever. Strange but true.

    You've never met my Bobby!:D

    If he eats a certain brand of dry food, or too many cabbage/cauli leaves, the stench is unbelievable. And always just as he jumps onto your lap!

    Rather pleased with myself , as I've repaired my brushcutter today without even swearing, so I went on and serviced it too.:D

    I know I thrash the thing, but I expected not to have any breakdowns for a few years, because Honda offer a 5 year guarantee.....IF you have it serviced by their agent once a year.

    "Well," I thought, " if I can check the plug, change the oil, clean the filter and grease the head, why pay someone else to do that? It might cost best part of £200 in services before something else needs doing."

    So when the little plastic priming bubble started leaking petrol at the end of last year, I was not a happy bunny. :(

    Anyway, a bit of dismantling, a £5 part from the Internet and it wasn't a difficult swap after all. I didn't service it until I'd done the repair in case I was left with a handful of pieces to take to my local service centre, where they'd insist on giving it the full monty.

    Now if I could just lay my hands on those 30mm bolts for the lawn mower and work out why a perfectly clean and supposedly 'repaired' hedgetrimmer still refuses to start......:o

    Well just lost my beautiful Shetland weder. Bit of a mystery, but he actually chocked. Having a coffee & then burying him.

    Yay! First egg from our new chickens. A green one from the cream legbarr. It's a bit small, is that the breed or the first eggs?
