ACO Petition

[smokie]

The ACO have a link to a petition on their webpage, maybe Gilles can explain the purpose, but it has online Yes/No voting and Google translates the questions thus:

YES - with an intelligent road safety policy, divided, responsible!

NOT - with a blind and not adapted repression!

I do wish they'd give some indication of which way they wanted me to vote....

[gibberish]

Just asked one of the French chaps in the office, and it made no sense to him

[Steve Pyro]

Gilles, over to you, or is this a strange dialect of French only spoken by web site translators ??

[Gilles]

It's mainly lobbyists international technocratical dialect....

... akas "Brussels language"  

[Ruptured Duck Motorsport]

Can anyone translate "Brussels Language" (French variety) into English?  

[hgb]

The Brussels Language is a dialect only spoken by a very tiny community within the EU. There is nobody outside this community who understands what they are saying or doing.  

[Nordic]

No one knows where they are spending either, the 90 Billion that enters there coffers yearly, has not been accounted for correctly for the last 9 years.

[mgmark]

Oh please, come now that really is rather harsh - it is, after all, only 90% of their £70bn budget that they can't track.....

It means never bother with automatic translators. They are crap.

[Robbo SPS]

You may not have rememembered but i had to get Gilles to ask for some more bread.......

I am not as good as you, although Lingua Phone is helping to over come that one....

Bonjour , Je Voudrais a petit peu du pain , monsieur....

[Steve Pyro]

Isn't that one of those little keyboards that Rolf Harris used to advertise, and sounded like a dalek

Can't quite see how you can get one to speak French though.  Was Dr. Who shown on French TV??

[Andy Zarse]

Steve man, you've got all confused. The Rolf Harris machine is one of them Cunnilingus things.

[Steve Pyro]

Steve man, you've got all confused. The Rolf Harris machine is one of them Cunnilingus things.

Confused.........So when my wife asks me to give her that, what she actually wants is a quick electronic rendition of "Three Blind Mice" then ??

[Andy Zarse]

More than likely, if she is like most women, when their drunken, unshaven, husbands come back from the pub and want to indulge in a bit of playing of the old pink harmonica.
