I got 10! sorry, that is very childish!

Well I only got 7 because I always think that they're trying to trick you (ha ha, all the words sound very very Latin, that must be a trap, so I'll pick pyjamas, the only one that seems obviously wrong, that'll show them!)! Otherwise I would have got at least 11 or 12, jean! At least. And I hated my Latin teacher so didn't listen much in class.

Very excited, I got 9 and have never learnt Latin - maybe it is the language for me???

*wondering whether I should delete the above comments and replace 7 by 10 in my entry*

Thanks for giving the address, Céline. I feel so much better now that I scored 10! But unlike Leah, I took seven years of Latin when I was in high school

Me too, to be honest. And this is the first thing it's ever been useful for!

idem ici...

Did anyone watch the television programme on Saturday about Kilroy-Silk called "behind the tan"? I only saw the end, but from an interpreter's perspective, there was one very interesting scene.

Mr Kilroy-Silk was shown delivering a strongly-worded speech to the EU Commission, in which he expressed general contempt of the Commission and attacked everything it 'interferes' with in the UK. Just behind him, you could see an interpreter at work in her booth, with her colleague next to her (simultaneous interpreters normally work in pairs, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, as it is such a strenuous job demanding intense concentration). Whilst we don't know what language she was translating into, the colleague who was "on" was gesticulating very passionately, relaying what was being said with some passion, while the other interpreter, who was "off", was laughing her head off. RKS might be quite a disruptive presence in Brussels, but he's certainly entertaining the EU interpreters...
