having just returned from bulgaria (25th)
we went to bourgas for a day and had just left the taxi and were walking towards the sea park thru the park at the university when suddenly my arm was grabbed from the side by a fella with a money making trick
polish your shoes mister he said in broken english well as he had me in an arm lock how could i refuse?
the wife was all for calling the police as she thought i was being mugged or something
but he put some stuff on my TRAINERS and proceeded to polish them 5 lev he said but as i was with the wife(who is in charge of the money).i had no lev only a small amount of change which i gave him,
but he left and we saw him walking down the street counting it
i dont think he was amused
but for 5 lev if you see a fella in bourgas next year polishing shoes
IT WILL BE ME
and there was me thinking you were up to the usual money making scams in Bulgaria I take it this happened just about two corners down from Mc Donalds, he has been there for about the last 5 years at least I have told him in the past to Gldasera Rabota.
what does Gldasera Rabota. mean or do i not need to ask
(probably close to what the wife was saying)
Hi. My husband had this happen to him in Turkey. On our first evening there he proceeded to brush my husband's suede sandals with a nail brush and water! He wouldn't take no for an answer until hubby started kicking his foot out to get free. Quite a frightening experience.
To answer your question I would be deleted never mind the post . The actual translation is go about your business, the flowery one involves the use of words that appear on the front of a tea shirt by that company the french collection initially
I was trying to work out the 'rabota' which I know is 'work' related, and the origin of the word 'robot' as I'm sure you realise.
I'll remember that one - might work better than 'Foxtrot Oscar' in Anglo Saxon.

i least i will know what you mean when ive polished your shoes next year then
yes it definately works even when the gypsies are being annoying the use of fox trot oscar was going right over their heads but gledasara works wonders and as you guessed peter rabota is work and comes from I believe Hungarian after Robot which they came up with the idea for
Actually Czech - used in K. Capek's play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), 1920, from robota meaning 'forced labour'.
What with Anglo Saxon and now Czech, with a mention of Hungarian thrown in, we really are lifting the Forum to a higher intellectual level!
And Fiona will get us -
