Thank you very much, SP. I´ll try to learn all the meanings first before showing it to my students but I´m sure they will enjoy them.
I hope you can come to Almería next year and do the half as well.

Better Antonio,
He can come for a whole week and teach your students real "english", pronuntiation, verbs, rehydratation and so on...

That would be really great, Ana! Maybe next year they can come and talk to my students on the benefits of running and and rehydration!
By the way, it will be great to celebrate your birthday in Almería next year with a cake and celebrating also that you have finished the half marathon!

Antonio, SP won't race Almeria 2008 unless I agree to hold his hand there
And I suspect his hydration techniques may not meet the approval of your school, so I'd keep him away from your students. And be wary of Sweder as well, otherwise he may be teaching them the detailed meaning of such phrases as whale oil beef hooked. Be ever wary of Guinness-drinking Englishman, my friend. It's a maxim that's served us well here in the colonies!

It would be wonderful to meet you here next year, MLCM. We all commented in the last half that we´d love you to be able to come to Almería in 2008. Besides, it would be fine to test if SP can run a half marathon again.
If I had to be wary of every Guinness-drinking Englishman, I´d have to be very cautious with most of them. Anyway, I shared a pint of Guinness with three Englishmen and a Canadian woman at Molly Malone and I must admit we had a very good time together although later we changed to Rioja at "El Quinto Toro".
