On a good day, I can speak (British) English. And a smattering of French, and a couple of bits in Dutch. Having been a programmer since I left school (too many years ago to tasefully state), I can "speak" most of them and can pick up any I need in a few days (except for APL - that was a strange one! - but I finished the contract) Haven't yet mastered Geordie, nor Glaswegian (they're foreign). Cheers, Diolma
