Sunday loneliness edition.
It's sunday afternoon. You should be outside, going for a walk with your girlfriend in the nearest park, talking about life while she rests her head on your shoulder. Oh but wait, you don't have a girlfriend lel. That's alright, you can just stay here and pretend your life is going somewhere.
>Obligatory english
“Bit by bit, I found myself relaxing into the conversation. Kitty had a natural talent for drawing people out of themselves, and it was easy to fall in with her, to feel comfortable in her presence. As Uncle Victor had once told me long ago, a conversation is like having a catch with someone. A good partner tosses the ball directly into your glove, making it almost impossible for you to miss it; when he is on the receiving end, he catches everything sent his way, even the most errant and incompetent throws. That’s what Kitty did. She kept lobbing the ball straight into the pocket of my glove, and when I threw the ball back to her, she hauled in everything that was even remotely in her area: jumping up to spear balls that soared above her head, diving nimbly to her left or right, charging in to make tumbling, shoestring catches. More than that, her skill was such that she always made me feel that I had made those bad throws on purpose, as if my only object had been to make the game more amusing. She made me seem better than I was, and that strengthened my confidence, which in turn helped to make my throws less difficult for her to handle. In other words, I started talking to her rather than to myself, and the pleasure of it was greater than anything I had experienced in a long time.”
Bump.

"Où s'arrêteront les dérives du communautarisme ? Au Royaume-Uni, au moins une trentaine de tribunaux islamiques officieux, ou "conseils de la charia", officient en toute impunité. Un scandale pour les autorités ? Pas vraiment, puisque le ministère de l'Intérieur britannique, qui lance tout de même une enquête sur le phénomène, reconnaît le rôle positif pour les croyants de ces assemblées...
Le Home office anglais a tout de même fini par s'inquiéter des discriminations que pourraient subir les femmes dans ces juridictions parallèles, puisqu’on y traite beaucoup de mariages et de divorces. Les autorités britanniques redoutent ainsi des mariages forcés et des divorces contraints, sans l'assentiment des femmes concernées. Mais, au nom de la tradition communautariste en vigueur outre-Manche, fermer ces "charia's courts" n'est pas à l'ordre du jour."

No one was saying/doing anything. I honestly thought you were all afk.
>>60062019
Yeah everybody else was because no one apparently stands up before they leave, but I was there.
>>60058257
This English is way too gay for me to read out loud.
>>60062063
All I heard from your mic was some weird noises and then nothing.
>>60062263
Ok.

The sound quality makes it hard to understand but you sounded pretty good otherwise. You have a very international accent. I can't really tell we're you're from.

Is this a bad thing?
>>60065372
Not at all.
So not allowed to sing?
>>60067037
Do whatever you want.

I'm bumping by reading the beginning of a French newspaper article.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Pz6pV5dx3g
Some German would be nice, lads
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1HK3KOF3mYu
Not my best work, but it'll do.
Taking requests, if anybody has any.
>>60072536
Are you requesting German to read yourself, or for others to post themselves speaking German?
>>60071897
>>60072384
I can't rate for shit as usual. You guys both did really well. Perfectly understandable with no pronounciation mistakes.
>>60072825
I'd like some to read but i will post a newspaper article so others can have a go too

"Still ist die Nacht, es ruhen die Gassen,
In diesem Hause wohnte mein Schatz;
Sie hat schon längst die Stadt verlassen,
Doch steht noch das Haus auf demselben Platz.
Da steht auch ein Mensch und starrt in die Höhe,
Und ringt die Hände, vor Schmerzensgewalt;
Mir graust es, wenn ich sein Antlitz sehe -
Der Mond zeigt mir meine eigne Gestalt.
Du Doppelgänger! du bleicher Geselle!
Was äffst du nach mein Liebesleid,
Das mich gequält auf dieser Stelle,
So manche Nacht, in alter Zeit?"
How about this?
Sie sind wieder auf den Barrikaden: Frankreichs Gewerkschaften blasen zum Kampf. Mit einer Serie von Streiks wollen sie das Land in den kommenden Wochen lahmlegen - zur Unzeit, am 10. Juni beginnt dort die Fußball-Europameisterschaft.
Premier Manuel Valls hat bereits breitbeinig erklärt, er werde den Kampf aufnehmen: Die geplanten Arbeitsmarktreformen würden durchgezogen. Nicht die Gewerkschaften regierten das Land, sondern die gewählten Vertreter des Volkes in Parlament und Regierung.

thank fuck the Germans don't think that, kek. There are occasions when you hear them having a chat at the bar or whatever and they sound like a ww2 villain, always a chuckle
>>60076145
They just can't help themselves can they.
Still taking requests if anybody has any.
Also requesting someone sing some Eurobeat.
Futureland, Dejá Vu, Remember Me, anything goes.
Hey everyone!

Requests in english?
>>60080973
Danish, English, or Spanish.
You can request other languages too, but it won't sound good.

You ever hear the story about
The Little Engine That Could ?
Let me tell you that story.
Once upon a time,
deep, deep in the jungle,
there was a little engine
that could.
He was chuggin' his way
across the enemy line.
Chugga, chugga, chugga.
Chugga, chugga. Toot, toot !
This little engine's
mission...
was to take some AK-47s
and a nuclear payload...
over the mountain
to the 2063 Battalion.
Needless to say,
there was plenty opposition.
You think that stopped
the little engine that could ?
No, siree, Bob.
He just kept chuggin' along.
Chugga, chugga, chugga.
Chugga, chugga.
Toot, toot !
Not even when they climbed
aboard the train and popped out
the eyes of the conductor,
and blood and snot was
drippin' out his eye sockets.
You think that stopped
the little engine that could ?
Damn skippy.
He just kept chuggin' along.
Chugga, chugga, chugga.
Chugga, chugga. Toot, toot !
It wasn't until...
Charlie rigged a bridge
with plastic explosives...
just as the little engine was makin'
his way across the trestle.
Boom !
An explosion happened.
And blood and guts and spit
and ass was everywhere !
And Bubba come
crawlin' out the back door,
both legs missin'.
Lula May's baby boy !
He look up at me.
He said, "Payne !
I can't feel my legs."
I said, "Bubba,
they ain't there."
And I looked down,
and them little bloody nubs
was kickin' real fast, like this here.
And I said, "Bubba, it's
'Less you can flip upside down
and walk on your hands,
you ain't gonna make it."
All of a sudden,
Charlie was all over the place !
It was just me and my sidearm.
And I had
no other alternative...
but to blast my way out.
"Die, pig ! Die ! You'll never take
Major Benson Winifred Payne alive !"
Bam ! "I saw what you did
to my friend !" Bam !

Sorry for the late reply. Good job my friend. Weirdly though, you sound a little Australian in some parts.
>>60083979
Thanks man.
People keep interpreting my accent in different ways. I've been told I sound British, American, Muslim, and now Australian as well.
