Sí verdad.. de hecho me falta el tiempo para aprender como decir que me queda poco tiempo para saber como decir que no me queda mucho tiempo..

Es un ' catch 22' ('Una situación sin salida' me dice mi diccionario no suena tan 'catchy' ..)

I thought it was a joke (my English is not good at yours ). Let me tell you what I understood in Spanish:

¿Qué es lo que te puede meter en un bucle cuando no te lo esperas?
Un bucle sin fin.

(extraño chiste...)

Ah! Sorry! I thought you knew the espression. ' To throw someone for a loop' means as much as to take someone by surprise (usually in a negative way), to confuse, shock or to upset someone.

knock/throw for a loop Slang To surprise tremendously; astonish.

The 'endless (or infinite) loop' is a term from IT , computer programmation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop

I made a 'play on words' (well tried to..) with 'bucle' in Spanish

Sorry about the confusion!

I'm Skint
I have also heard a Cockney (Londoner) say "Boracic"

This is an example of rhyming slang:
boracic lint = skint
Rosie Lee = cup of tea
apples and pears = stairs
trouble and strife = wife

I knew the endless loop, but I didn't know to throw for a loop. Now I know, thanks
