Great! Keep it up!
Very true! Today, you hit the head of the nail so hard, you bent the nail! *grin*
Nice one!
By the way, my blog is moving to http://www.anothertranslator.eu/blog. If you can update your bookmarks, that'll be nice. Hope you'll like my new site!

Hi Mox, lovely cartoon, I hope you don't mind but I copied it to my blog at http://matsnews.blogspot.com/ - if it's a problem let me know and I'll whisk it down.

I remember when one customer complained that I had sent the wrong document because the title was one single word (in German, and a whole line long) and my translation was a whole sentence, one and a half lines long... obviously, he did no speak German! 8>)
