Cameron Girl's
I thought you would like to know that the UK elections get some coverage in the Spanish newspapers.

This article is in Spanish, but the video is in English. It seems very promising, as some girls have decided to take the piss out of Cameron; I think you'll find it at least interesting.

BTW, you don't get as much news space as the USA election, which I think it's dreadful, don't you agree? My sister is living in NY and doesn't even know you're having an election soon.

Enjoy:

I'd happily take a piss on Cameron

What about if he was on fire

No.
Especially not for the amount of effort I'd have to go to in order to set him on fire in the first place.

Sorry, I couldn't resist the opportunity
As porky says, it's "out of," e.g, "I take the piss out of David Cameron's insufferably smug and punchable boat-race."

I shouldn't take the piss, really; your English is far better than my command of any foreign language I've tried to learn.

Oh, it's ok
At least I understood you were taking the piss OUT OF me. Most of the time I don't get the jokes, translate literally and give quite stupid replies :) (And the image of you pissing ON Cameron was quite funny)

As I said for my first B3ta birthday, this website has truly improved my understanding of the English language.

(In that case,
you might want to remove that erroneous apostrophe in the post title)

I can see what you mean, though - you don't really learn a language until you try having conversations and start picking up the colloquialisms and other strange idioms. Plus we have a myriad of grammar pedants on here who will happily/angrily correct your mistakes. Plus you get to learn a unique subset of the language which is rarely used outside of these boards...

I know it's wrong
But that's the tittle in the news, that's why I kept it. I'm very picky with apostrophes.

I'm very glad when I get corrections. Not so much when I see everybody is joking about something I write and I can't understand. But then, my boyfriend usually translates for me in those cases.

I find it very strange that her command of the English language has improved.
Improved while coming on B3ta? Bit of a strangeness that.

Of course
Words like fucksocks and twunt are rarely used elsewhere. Plus all of the spelling and grammar pedants (and I include myself in this) get wound up by misplaced apostrophes and the misuse of loose, their and your, etc.

As I've said before
I tried to read Scanner Darkly before b3ta and I didn't get 2 words out of 3. After 1 year in B3ta I tried again and found it very funny.
