Or better yet, "la langue de Flava Flav" or "la langue de Lou Reed". I understand you're trying to mix it up a bit, and I appreciate the variety. The phrase just struck me as funny, especially since so many of Clapton's songs are based on the 'American' of bluesmen from the deep south. Yonder, indeed. Luc,

It's become a cult station here in Brighton, where you can only catch it in certain areas. I've heard of people moving house just to be able to listen to it and there's a FIP night in one of the pubs in the centre. Try it, you might like it. Do you know FIP radio?

Consider this witty exchange: "Where's he at?" "Over yonder." I confess, I love Redneck English. It's a whole other language. :) Just wanted to point out to JonnyB that “yonder” is still frequently used back in the Deep South. Consider this witty exchange:

Hello,

In French we call English “la langue de Shakespeare”, I find it a little bit restrictive as several others English gentlemen are well known on the side of the Chanel, so when I have to say “English” , I usuallly use this expression (because I like it) but with various names. I can do worse, (I can always do worse) I could have said “la langue de Britney Spears” but I’m old, and a definitive Eric Clapton addict.

I would love to know the translation of “désopinante”. Attempting to get a translation from several sites yielded no results….

Well that’s rather normal, the right word is desopilante

Cheers

Luc
