Hi ChangYe Minus 273 degrees C ! Wow, that's the temperature of liquid hydrogen and you would be a frozen stiff pillar that would break into thousands of pieces at the slightest touch. I suggest you have another look at your thermometer. And John, In my early days people who carried a sun sreen that resembled an umbrealla were known to carry a parasol. Is this word still in use or has it too gone out of vogue?

Hello Changye, You left out Hottentot, Icelandic, Samoan and Maori and a few others. Never mind, I am still immensely impressed. You are lightyears ahead of me with language. So let me say " Een gelukkig nieuw jaar" to you, because that's the language I know (knew) best.

Father Christmas....ugh! For years I put my shoe out on Christmas eve with food for his reindeer, but the next morning it was there as I left it. No lollies or present...nothing! I much prefer the Chinese name of Christmas old fake... I mean old fellow. Anyway a happy X-mas to you all!!!

Hi changYe thanks for those multinational dogbarks. I think though that the English version is more like "woofwoof"

Hi ChangYe, interesting to know that your dog complained about the exchange of the first letter in the last word of chittywangwang to make chittywangbang. I was tempted to do the same with the first and second word but refrained from doing so , as your dog as well as the whole CP community would have complained even more furiously.

Changye thank you very much for that very useful selection of card names. I could have used those during my visit to Chengdu last October.
