Now I’ve justified this to myself in all sorts of ways.

It wasn’t a big deal, just a minor betrayal.

Or we’d outgrown each other,you know, that sort of thing.

But let’s face it, I ripped them off, my so-called mates.

But, Begbie,I couldn’t give a shit about him.

Sick Boy would have done the same to me if he’d only thought of it first.

And Spud, okay, I felt sorry for Spud.He never hurt anybody.

Bastard!Bastard! Open up now! Bastard!

So, why did I do it?

I could offer a million answers, all false.

The truth is that I’m a bad person.

But that is going to change.I’m going to change.

This is the last of that sort of thing.

Now I’m cleaning up and I’m moving on,going straight and choosing life.

I’m looking forward to it already.

I’m going to be just like you.

The job, the family,the fucking big television.

The washing machine, the car,the compact disc, an electrical tin opener……good health, low cholesterol,dental insurance…

…mortgage, starter home, leisure wear,luggage, three-piece suite…

…DIY, game shows, junk food, children,walks in the park, 9:00 to 5:00…

…getting by, looking ahead,

the day you die.

The original Video (if you don’t have seen Trainspotting, this is a big Spoiler !!!)

The Semester is ending ! Finally ! So let’s talk about holidays. It will be the last big holidays for 2 Years ! So we have to enjoy it ! That’s why I decided to travel to Brazil in July. But why ? Let me explain. When I was in Berlin, I met Bea, my other half ! The first time I saw her, I was lost in this big city. I was alone, I thought I would never get over it. I didn’t understand German, so I went to the German courses. I arrived too late and the teacher, who was German, didn’t let me get in. And Bea came. We were both in the same situation. If the teacher hadn’t done this, maybe I wouldn’t be here telling you this…

So we talked together, half-German, half-English, and we decided to have a drink. We talked for 3 hours or even more. After three or four pint, we met Brazilian guys. We played drum and guitar all the night at the edge of the Schlachtensee lake. I learned so much. New culture, new life, new people. I began for the first time in my life being myself. After my accident I was lost, that’s why I decided to get away from my damn past life and start a new one. Life is to short, and I decide to live one day at a time. And Bea totally understood me, as I understood her ! Overnight we were friends. So we decided to meet us every day for lunch. My courses were boring, very boring. I have learned fundamental Math there. In German ! Could you imagine one second, being in a lecture hall with a hundred people , speaking German. I was a goldfish lost in the sea! I had to switch on my way. So I stopped university, and I began to work. I learned Math to secondary school pupil. I’ve earned a lot of money. So we began to travel together, to Czech Republic, Poland, and Denmark. It was very funny. We didn’t care about days, we did what we wanted to do. Everything went well for us. We started to search together what I could do in September. And we found IMAC. I was so excited, and she was too. But while I was looking for a school, we realized that we won’t be together the next year. It was sad but we decided to live one day at a time so that’s it !

I came to Paris in September, I walked away from Berlin. We kept in touch with Bea. We both knew that we were going to meet again. But when ? That was a big question.

So, I went to school, I’ve met new people, I‘ve learned new things about me, about others, about work … But I miss my life in Berlin. And one day, in December, I was looking at my bank account …. 1000€ more than usual ... I called my bank which told me that it was from Erasmus. I called Erasmus which told me that they forgot to give me the money during my exchange with Berlin ! What did I do with this money ? I bought a round-trip ticket to Brazil !

We have lived in the shadow of the Wall for more than a year. It cuts through the heart of Berlin. We’ve learned to live with it. We refused to think that it will always be this way. In the beginning we wait across the wall to our families in East Berlin. It didn’t matter who watch this. But later the communist policemen came and stop to our families for waiting. My mother lives over there. They moved her away if she dares to wait. It’s forbidden. I speak to my children in east Berlin with hand signals making certain the guards are not watching. I don’t want him to hang my family. We have become good with our signals. … communist have hard time tracking his dumb. But we take chances specially on night when an escape is planed. In the beginning many people escaped on road daylight by jumping out the window basing in western sector of the city. Our firemen were there to help. We remember the women being help by communist guards to prevent her from joining her family. They even through tear gaze close of who bellow ready to catch her. That ’s when they decided to extend the wall and cut access to the building spacing west Berlin. They sealed every window. Many brick layers came over to outside of the wall, they probably do that kind of job. Their strong barbed wire on the roofs to close off another way of escape. Many homes along this side of the wall were razed.

They blinded us with reflecting mirrors. They through tear gaze. They tried everything to keep us away. We through the tear gaze grenades back at them.

Here is my first transcription

Johnny Depp & Tim Burton - SouthBank Show
envoyé par mimie75

Johnny Depp : J.D.

Tim Burton : T.B.

Journalist : J.

J.D. :

Is he outside or is he just not inside. I don’t know. It’s difficult to say. I don’t think he’ll never be inside it’s euh, I think it’s, euh that for sure.

He is one of less than an Handful who is capable of art in Cinema.

There is something deeply poetic about Tim and there is something deeply poetic about the images that he creates, that he conjures and that he gives to us as viewers.

J.

You have a very strong relationship as director/actor with Johnny Depp can you tell us what attract you to him as an actor and why his character ? with him.

T.B.

He response I had to think, I think very much from the inside as well and that’s why I think I’ve enjoyed working with him. He’s that you know something very exiting working with somebody who, you know, wants just too different things and character especially with somebody who looks the way he is and people procedure in a certain way. He’s really the opposite of that.

J.

Is there any sens in what you looking through him autobiographically ?

T.B.

Well I mean, he’s, with the scissor hands character, I would say there is more slightly autobiographic who care but I would never, I always capt the distance from that, I mean, because first of all, you know, I don’t look like anything like Johnny Depp, you know, obviously, so there is a certain distance from that you know, that’s just there.

When I first met him for Edouard scissor hands he is somebody who, I don’t know, I just feel like I operate on similar level of sensing, you know, he wasn’t known at the time, seventeen years old, and I didn’t know him but I just had this feeling like well he just doesn’t feel like that, he doesn’t, I bet he doesn’t feel that way at all.

J.D.

They were trying to label me while this kind of, you know, very limiting, handle such as, you know a Teen hard prod, you know.

When I met Tim for Edouard scissor hands it was immediately apparent to me as the second I met him that he was Edouard scissor hands. ? You know they is me to, you know, I mean the character, there is something in there, that’s me, that’s Tim, that’s you, that’s universal, that feeling of being outside you know. Through my carrier there is several things that we did together that he had to fight, the studios too, to cast me, because they want me they want flee to the mountain, they wanted this guy because he was popular, because whatever. Now I’m convince that without Tim and his taking this risk on me I wouldn’t been, I wouldn’t been this guy a long time ago by the industry

Hello this is Steve Kauffman here

Talk about something a little different always related to language.
We are here at the linguist.blog.com

Today I went for a haircut.
My barber talks a lot.
Sometimes he even stops cutting just to talk, which I find mightly annoying.
On the other hand I am always entertained for 30 minutes while he cuts my hair.
He does a good job and charges me 18 dollars, which is not the cheapest, but not the most expensive, haircut in Vancouver.
He told me that he came to Canada as a 16 years old, 20 years ago.
He went to hair dressing school and then worked for a chain of hair salons for 5 years, in different locations in the city.
He got to know the personalities of different kinds of clients.
He did not like working in the eavely Chinese district of Richmond because, in his words, the customers would arrive late and expect to be served right away.
If they were not served immediately, they assumed that the customer who was being served in their place had paid extra.
He did not like the pressure of the situation.
He eventually opened his own shop in North Vancouver.
He said that he made sure to learn all about the subjects that his clients were interested in, from fly fishing to the stock market. He knew that if customers liked him, they would come back.
After 20 years in Canada, dealing with English speaking Canadian clients, his English is just terrible.
His pronunciation and use of words, structure, unamed, are all quite poor.
When he talked about a leading politician and his wife, “he” and “she” were regularly used wrong.
I had trouble understanding who he was talking about.
People who are not used to Chinese accents must have trouble understanding him.
His English is poor even by the standards of his native Hong Kong.

So what is the conclusion, he doesn’t represent everyone but just being immersed in the language and talking the language will not necessarly improve your language skills.
You need to want to improve. You need to have a deliberate program of improvement and you need to listen.
On the other hand, my barber has been successful at building up a customer base, and he did not seem to feel inhibited in any way by his poor English.
He was a communicator, although a better talker than a listener. I have not suggested to him that he join the linguist.

 Hello, my name is Floriane Brin. My E-mail address is floflocalo@hotmail.com

I was born on January 24th, 1987, in Nîmes. I grew up in a small village called Aigues-Vives, close to Nîmes. This part of my life was really in harmony with nature and people around me. I was then in school in Sommières and I decided to go to Montpellier in order to study Maths. The first year was just about having fun as much as possible, that’s why I failed it … Then I thought that I should stop partying and I had to go to university ! I became serious during the following two years. I decided to make an Eramsus exchange in Berlin … Not a very good idea for studying !!! Once more , it was too much of a party … So I said :”Flo stop doing nothing, choose what you want to do”. And I found THE opportunity : IMAC … What a wonderful opportunity ! That’s why I’m here with you today.
Now, let’s talk about what I like … I’m crazy about travelling … I’ve visited more than 10 countries. Everytime it’s a new sensation. I’ve met such nice people , and I’ve seen wonderful landscapes, cultures … Travelling is life. I also like being with my friends, being outdoors, enjoying live music,…
In the future, I would like to be … I don’t know yet, really … I would like to find a job through which I could change the world…
