To be honest Markus, the egg thing does not translate well, it's difficult to know eggactly what the yoke is!? http://www.elvastower.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/discuss_gathering.gif

I know it doesn´t translate to English, but if somebody knows a little bit of German (and the saying: "Es ist nicht das Beste vom EI, aber es geht"), they´ll get it.

I´ll try and see if I can find a close translation, other than just writing up the meaning (My English is not exactly brilliant, but it´s OK).

EDIT: Not even my former English teacher knows a way how to convey that joke. Anyway, translation added above.

Cheers and a Happy New Year

I think I've got it figured, Markus;

"My English is not the best, but it's good enough to understand me." ??!

Cheers Bazza.

I was mischievous with my reply - a play on word sounds, = "it's difficult to know exactly what the joke is."

It must have been the Merlot wine I was drinking.

Cheers Bazza.

Here's an English egg joke:

You cannot make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
