man, happily married (my wife does the cooking and orders me about :D), with a 8-month super-cute baby (girl), I read anything that has letters. Engineer & programmer. Very optimistic, but I like to spoil others with my comments (even if it's not my opinion). For example I love mens' jokes, although my wife controls me.:D
An example of a man-joke
""cuando llegará la mujer a la luna?" When will a woman reach the moon
-cuando haya que barrerla " -When the moon needs a sweep.
I love the expression of the women's faces when I tell them that joke :D

I think Tomissimo must move this thread to "what's your opinion of what other people look like?"

Jane: a disco-lover, 25, sho loves reading with a swiming-pool by his side. And Gemma must be her twin :D

saludos :D
Me sorprendió. Pensaba que era una mujer porque su nombre termina con a. Pero ingeniero/programer no me sorprendio. Quieto, inteligente, modesto.

What do you mean by quieto?
Quieto: something / somebody who doesn't move.

Nobody is gonna say I'm a woman?

poli June 27, 2008 12:31 PM
Tienes razón. Quieto no es la palabra correcta. Una persona de pocas palabras bien escogidas --no mucho en la forma de exceso.

Alfonso, eres un hombre con ingenio agudo, morboso pero con más capacidad de auto-decepción(todos sufrimos de esa aflicción) que la típica persona.

Lacónico, although maybe this word is not always positive, so it's better in this case your paraphrases.

Instead of no mucho en la forma de exceso which sounds rhetorical, I would say simply: sin excesos (verbales).

sosia June 27, 2008 01:02 PM
Thanks fot the corrections Poli.
"Quieto, inteligente, modesto." Thanks a lot, but I'm too shy :D
Like the germans says "Stille wasser sind tief" :D

poli June 27, 2008 01:19 PM
like we say in English, "still waters run deep"

María José June 27, 2008 02:11 PM
Como pronto podréis comprobar en nuestro diccionario de modismos.

Sosia, I'm sure you are the sweetest guy ever. And your description of Jane and me suits us down to a T.

Almost, Gemma, almost.;)
But how did you guess, Sosia? :)
For some reasons, I found the idea of Alfonso as a stiff intellectual very appealing...:applause:
Rusty is the best of the pack, no offence to the other guys...:love:
Elaina, I think should have been a defence attorney...
David, I see as a relatively young version of Cary Grant... a loving daddy, a nice guy...
Poli, a Gorge Clonney with a camera over his neck on the streets of New York, Madrid or anyway in the world.
Crotalito... hmmm.... I don´t know, but we´ll see...
Now, its me that´s rambling...
I´ve had a most pleasant day and a great evening;), so I´m in a great mood. :cool:
Please, pardon me, everyone.:p

I'm sorry Poli, I can't understand what you mean by the words in purple. Will you enlighten me, please?

María José June 29, 2008 08:37 AM
I guess he means self-deception (engañarse a uno mismo)...aunque sea meterme a donde no me llaman.

Autoengaño? So, Gemma, do you think Poli says I'm a delirious person?
It's not that I might be worried about this opinion about me, but it's really intriguing how one could get to that point reading my posts. Anyway, I don't think this is the path...

María José June 29, 2008 11:00 AM
You will have to ask Poli, but I'm sure he didn't mean to call you delirious.
This is not the path, you say, the path to what? Lost again. And don't dismiss me with one of your:"Doesn't matter..."
And can you explain the reason you edited your message? I don't get it. It might be because I just woke up.

The path to more knowledge, (something I learnt here).
One of my doesn't matter? That's unfair. I never said something like that.
I wrote you think Poli says I'm a delirious person? But I changed it immediately because I'm afraid of your heretic's hammer (literal translation from Spanish). (Do) you know the English expression for this?

María José June 29, 2008 11:36 AM
I don't know the English expression, but what's the Spanish one? Martillo herético?

Alfonso June 29, 2008 11:37 AM
Martillo de herejes (la Inquisición, el Inquisidor General).

María José June 29, 2008 11:44 AM
Never heard that one before. And I cannot think of an equivalent in English.Is that sad or what?:sad:
