'Turkish is the most spoken language in the world', I right kicked off when someone said that to me down a bar one night.
Although I was very suprised to find Baked Beans where infact a Turkish invention. |

The Uighurs (or Uygurs), resident in the Western Autonomous province. It's a Turkic language that is surprisingly close, when you read it in western script anyway, to Turkish. Haven't a clue how it sounds. |

The verb to put away is transitive and therefore requires an object which is lacking in your sentence. Is the object your a rse or your knob? |

No, she doesn`t know but she thinks it is stupid to spend so much time here and has twigged that I have been slagging off Turkey which she hates.
As for gentleman, isn`t that a bit dated. BabaAlex doesn`t look like a gentleman in that photo besides he is a scouser so can he be a gentleman? |
