I did nine months of commuting to Hook daily from one of the villages half-
way between Luton and Hitchin. Fun. Not.

Jesus H Christ, that is a commute and a half.

My former manager (now moved on to other work in the same office)
commutes from Andover to our office just south of Heathrow.

Clive ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying :

Konnt ihr mich horen?
Konnt ihr mich sehen?
Konnt ihr mich fuhlen?
Ich versteh euch nicht

Anybody translate for me?

Bablefish comes up with :-

# Konnt their me horen?
# Konnt their me see?
# Konnt their me fuhlen?
# I do not understand you

Anybody translate for me?

Babelfish has problems at the best of times, but has been totally
defeated by the omision of 5 umlauts. My German grammar is a bit rusty
now, but AFAIK "ihr" and "euch" are the plural familiar forms of "sie"
(you).

Könnt ihr mich hören? = Can you hear me?
Könnt ihr mich sehen? = Can you see me?
Könnt ihr mich fühlen? = Can you feel me?
Ich versteh euch nicht = I do not understand you

I don't understand him either. What's the point of that sig?

I'd assumed it was a poor translation of "Tommy", tbh.

These are vocals from a song by "Rammstein" (a quite strange rock music
group).

"Can you hear/see/feel me? "

"You" being 2nd personal plural informal.
