In many countries, (I won't name them but you all know who I mean) a 'long time' could mean hundreds if not thousands of years.

Oops! Jesus right, I know *giggle*

but when that little huge mistake made you smiling, then it already was worth it to make it

as I don't like grumpy looking people

hehe, to be honest, I didn't know that old English saying
I only knew the German one, but I found a website who gives you the right translation of the English version of several sayings
so the real translation of the German saying would be:
small cattles are also making mist

but nice to hear, that there are some people around who are thinking likewise than I do

awww nah, I don't mind at all, lol

I'm fully aware of, that often my "English" sounds quite funny

but I've to say, I never learnt it properly, nor studied it
I just got it by kinda DIY

and that unfortunately is right too

or never

Yes you did make me smile Malpeki - I am a quick to laugh - quick to cry sort of person! I love to laugh and it doesn't take much (dog manages to make me laugh every day lol!)

I think your English is EXCELLENT - and I wouldn't have bothered to point out the Threat / Thread thing if I didn't think you would have understood it!

My darling daughter in law is Polish. Her English now is very good but she still makes some 'funny' mistakes - however some of them are so 'appealing' that we not only don't correct her - we adopt them and all say them too!

One of my favourite Monika-isms is one she uses when eating ...

Tastee very delicious! The whole family says that now!

lol, that's funny and I like your mindset

already too many grumpy peeps around nobody needs, as life is already tough enough

Here here

I think that expression dates back a long way to when parliament was just starting (15th century ) I do not know much more about it except you hear it all the time on the TV Parliament channel. (Basically means the person agrees with what has been said)

I wonder what the German equivalent is

It's 'hear hear' actually! Sounds exactly the same as 'here here' but yet another of those two English words that sound the same but have different meanings! And is a VERY common error even among English speakers.

You've now reminded me of an adult Swiss Language student I hosted while she studied English. She was totally fascinated with some English expressions and wandered around saying stuff like ....

I am having a WHALE of a time!
and
I haven't got the FOGGIEST idea!

We all loved her and so did my dog. She took the dog to the language institute with her one day and was disgusted that they told her she could not bring the dog to school with her! She thought it would be OK if the dog stayed on her lap!
