You never know what to expect interrogating completely unknown people. But in this particular case an answer was quite predictable. I mean if you take under consideration an audience of this forum.
Nevertheless let's see what Mila thinks of it. ;)

Just for fun:

What would be the English for the following phrase in Russian?

"Он стоял, стоял, потом взял да и вышел."

One of the suggestions was something incredible -

"He stood, stood, then took yes and went out" ))))

Some more pearls of wisdom:

Он перевел дух и сделал ей предложение - He translated his spirit and made her a sentence.

Hi folks!!!
UUWW - weather in Vnukovo,russia
I worked for a while in aviation, but not in meteo...;-((((
Anyway, let me try...
Weather forecast for tonight:dark..:-))).
I have scrolled down and could see that there is a row in between...Poor Paul, he is just trying to help you to speak pure English. Personally, I am on his side because to speak somehow you obviously have succeeded. But sure we need to move on...
Well, no need to say that we are sometimes over the point, and forget one simple thing...there are a few perfect people in this world if any at all...and they are Germans...But they lost during the IIWW...
So let's just carry on with practicing, shall we?....

Well, as for the weather

UUWW 051000Z 20004MPS 160V240 CAVOK 22/M03 Q1011 24000070 NOSIG

It is METAR – an information about actual weather at aerodrome. In this case it is Vnukovo as you guessed right. Time of observation is 10.00 UTC 05.05.2009. Wind SSW – 200 degrees 04 meters per second variable from 160 to 240 degrees, CAVOC – ceiling and visibility are OK, temperature + 22 deg Celsius, dewpoint minus 03 deg. Celsius. Atmospheric pressure 1011 hectopascal, Runwy-in-use 24. No significant changes are expected.

Dont underevaluate yourself. It's an amazingly cool for amateur to know an ICAO code of an aerodrome. To tell you the truth not even all of civil aviation personnel has a clue what it means.

Basic Flying Rules:

1. Try to stay in the middle of the air.
2. Do not go near the edges of it.
3. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there.

About "poor" Paul. Everything had been all right if he wouldn't has overdone in his telling-off. Would you talk to a person that tells you nothing, but notation of your faults? We are not at school, and I don't have to stand it. I think he should learn to communicate to people more gently and respectful.

Can't say for sure, but that last one is usually used when "I don't care" has already been used several times and the speaker, losing his/her patience, applies that slang to finally put an end to the conversation.

У меня такой вопрос. Когда я смотрю по ТВ новостные каналы BBC и CNN, часто слышу слово или словосочетание которое никак не могу идентифицировать. В русской транскрипции звучит примерно как "инкастэди". Что бы это могло быть?
