And I bet they are all jealous. :)

[Henry P]

[Maryd.]

Sure. Let them. They only wish they had a friendship like ours

[Henry P]

I think we're real friends, not just online chat-partners

[Maryd.]

Yes sir... You are one clever friend. :)

[Henry P]

you're not so bad yourself

[Maryd.]

Aww... Shucks... :wub:

[Henry P]

it's been a nice time here today

[Maryd.]

I know... Have really enjoyed our chat.

[Henry P]

So have I.

[Ian The Poet]

vodka Martini?

[Maryd.]

Haven't had it... Have always wanted to know what Martini is.

[Henry P]

try it in a bar or at home- still a simple and classy cocktail. Martino/Cinzano/ Noilly Prat are red/white wines infused with herbs and sometimes sweetened. Yummy

[Maryd.]

Darn it... Now I want a drink... Thanks Henry :guiness:

[Henry P]

buy vermouth and vodka and shake your own with crushed ice

[Maryd.]

Yum... Will try it. You're sure it's good right? Will it be sweet?

[Henry P]

no, a classic Martini isn't sweet, but you can drink vermouth wines with ice ans soda like spritzers

[Maryd.]

Using emoticons?

[Henry P]

[Maryd.]

Yes... I love them. I know another site, that the mods hate us using them and would like to cut them down to three to a post. :( :( :( :(

[Henry P]

why? the stuck-up !*$@s

[Maryd.]

Yes, so unfair. I almost don't post much on the site anymore anyway. Just play a few games. But I love the emoticons/smileys... Whatever. They brighten up a post.

How did you do that?

[Henry P]

From purple potatoes, which are on sale here, as a novelty. Some of the original South American varieties were purple, so we shouldn't be surprised. Carrots were purple too

Shop assistants who don't speak english?

[Henry P]

dislike. Immigrants should learn the language

[Maryd.]

Or go back home... My father had to learn and he wasn't even running a business here.

[Henry P]

So how can they help customers outside their own ethnic group?

[Maryd.]

They don't... The average customer goes elsewhere and they attract only their ethnic group.

[Henry P]

If there's enough of them, there'll be no obligation to learn English

[Maryd.]

Exactly... And there is plenty of them in this area... And your's truly is getting somewhat annoyed.

[Henry P]

So am I. Politicians haven't got the guts to do anything. And besides, the immigrants can soon get citizenship and express their appreciation by voting for them

[Maryd.]

Yes well... That's just typical now, isn't it Henry?

[Henry P]

Yes. Meanwhile, the character of our countries changes

[Maryd.]

Yes... This is true.

[Henry P]

Politicians just see the future up to their next election. Dictatorships are vile, but democracy has been corrupted too
