    Russian Linguist Help.

    Er, rummaging about in the cupboard I found an old poster I had bought.

    I bought it when I was with a girl who was a Russian speaker, but I cannot remember what the translation was. When we went our seperate ways, this went into the TARDIS that is my cupboard.

    Sadly, I cannot call upon my ex-girlfriend's assistance to translate.

    I wonder if any members of this august forum could help with the translation, before I put it up and find it is either subversive or obscene!

    Glory to the defenders of the Soviet homeland. (It actually says defender in the singular, so it may be a reference to, eg, the Army.)

    Edit. I started off well, then fluffed it (not for the first time). Better linguists have put me right.

    It was like that when I got here.

    If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.

    It was cold where we lived.

    She said it was a good size too.

    Anyway, after learning Arabic I divorced her traditional style by stoning her.

    Thanks Brotherton Lad, I like a little bit of colour to the office.

    As long as it's red...

    My one word of Russian: Spasiba (afraid I cannot do anything with Cyrillic).

    Much appreciated.

    Nichts zu danken. It is the badge of the Soviet Army in front of the badge of the Soviet Union.

    He will be along soon I am sure. Even in Business class, in flight communications can be limited at times.
