A Finbarr Saunders Moment

Monday, 21st October 2006

The subtle nuances of the English language strike again. Maria Arbeitsplatz walks past my desk and sees me working on her project; a form document redesign which is proving problematic. Noticing what I'm doing, she says with Germanic directness:

"Ah, you are PLAYING WITH IT!"
(fnarr fnarr)

Spotting the "dooble ontondrer" I am at a loss for words, and manage to mumble "yes, and it's, err..." before she says:

"It's COMING!" and walks off.
(kyuk kyuk gibber gibber)

Those wacky Europeans, no?
