These kinds of explanations never do me any good.
I usually last until the middle of the explanation. After this point my brains switches off.
If I concentrate too hard on something then something goes wrong inside my brains and after it short-circuits.
I need several short attempts before I know what is being said (or what is the point).
I have to start training my brain in concentrating for longer periods.
It is all the result of living in the States.
One gets used to short span of attention. It took me a long time to get used to watching movie withough commercials. I found it very hard at first.

Not in this case it is not.
On my own I would come respectfully full 20 mins late.
Now when they invite us together they tell me: We want you to leave the house at (such and such hour).
That is what I call humiliating experience. It is absolutely awful in my book, Mr Dr Baz.
I am still recuperating from my first experience after we just arrived in Boston.
recuperate v.i The habit - displayed by those affected with having lived in Boston - of always turning up too early for a Tea Party, spilling it everywhere, and never understanding when it is time to leave. |

(not that I'd endorse some of the performacne measures quoted in this piece)
performacne - n- particularly virulent form of stage fright, manifested as boils or facial rashes in the unfortunate sufferer. Can be treated temporarily with Dutch Courage (cf). If conditions persist, consult your Agent. (British Journal of Musical Medicine) |

exuberant prices. Prices charged, for goods or services, which are so favourable to the consumer struggling with the Credit Crunch, so as to occasion said consumer to exhibit unrestrained behaviour in the form of dancing, clapping their hands in delight and laughing hysterically.

I'm afraid you have sent me, in an idle moment (it is my tea-break, honest) to wonderful CD-Rom phone book where, I find, at least one Brian De'Ath is listed for the UK.

I wonder if it's pronounced "Deeth." One of those rang me in my first year of employment and I asked how it was spelt - he just said "like Death." I didn't really know how to react.  |
