No hablo Español. (Thanks google translate!) Sorry, but I just don’t, never have done and unlikely to start soon. This means that I will often face a couple of clues that, by default, either rely on crosses or require guessing/googling. My rudimentary French (and occasionally German) get me through another handful of clues each week, but presumably these cause similar issues for others who ne parle pas Français or sprect nicht Deutsch. My Finnish is pretty good, I know there are about a hundred times more Spanish speakers in the world than Finns, but surely the frequency of clues in other languages means I’m due a ‘Summer in Helsinki’ any day now, right? I’ll keep waiting…
@Sonja In our house every morning is ‘puuro aika’, our son can’t get enough of it, although the blueberries we can get in the UK (I believe Finns call them pensasmistikoita) aren’t a patch on the ones in Finland. Needless to say, Mummo’s porridge is always best :)
@Francis This isn’t really an argument, it’s just a scientific fact; if you read the ‘Bird’ article on Wilipedia you’ll see that ‘Birds are feathered dinosaurs, having evolved from earlier theropods, and constitute the only known living dinosaurs’. Classifications change as we learn more about the evolution of species, but as it stands, birds are officially dinosaurs, which personally I think is pretty cool :)
