The phrase you keep saying "Je ne comprends pas. Je suis Anglais" - you should have on a t shirt! It reminds me of Fawlty Towers when Manuel says "I no understand. I from Barcelona" I think you and he have a lot in common![/quote]

I have to say, I'm not a violent person - but I was very close on that occasion. Even the stewardess wanted to punch him - and I know that because she told me. I tend to keep my hands to myself - I have good self-restraint.:)

I have a lot of Fawlty Towers on VHS - haven't watched them for ages! Manwell is just so cool "I speako English - I learn it from a book" (oh that sounds like me as well!):)[/quote]

I like Fawlty Towers too. D'ya remember Manuel's pet rat? Was he called Neelix?!!.........:P[/quote]

More than likely!

No because that would just confuse me and I don't really care about them!!:)[/quote]

So no entente cordiale then?![/quote]

Je ne comprends pas. Je suis anglais.:)

Did I tell you about the time when I was on a plane and I had an argument with an Orthodox Jew? First time I lost my temper at 500 miles per hour. Actually, it nearly came to blows. He was so rude. He was sat behind me and he asked the Stewardess (not me - the stewardess) if he could swap seats with me because he didn't like the film I was watching as it contained violence. I was only watching Scooby Doo. So the Stewardess asked me if I would mind swapping seats and I refused because I wanted to sit next to Nadine. Anyway, he kicked up a fuss and I told him to f off! I can't remember exactly what was said but he really irritated me. When it came to having a meal - I had a mouth full of meat and I just chewed it with my mouth open and looked at him. Nadine was elbowing me and telling me to behave!!! Nadine was thus trying to calm me down and he ended up swapping with someone else on the plane! Its the last time I book passage with Thomas Cook's I can tell you.:)

You know, the funny thing is, I know how to write German and Italian and I have never been to either country!!! I can hardly speak French (but some) and I hardly speak Spanish (but some) and I go there every year nearly.!!!! I can speak some Russian as well but only a little. I want to learn Klingonese just in case there is an invasion.

The only French I practice frequently is "Je ne comprends pas. Je suis anglais." Which means "I don't understand I am English". I made a point of learning that ever since they opened the channel tunnel and there was a threat of French people actually visiting the UK. You just gotta haven't you?:) At least that phrase stops them from pestering you!!! LOL

I thought that that was quite realistic too. I think I told you that a lost Nadine a few years ago and I was just shell shocked for a long time. I think it stuck with him all the way through series 3 - which in real life it does do, so it was very well written and full of detail.:)

[quote][b]Q of the Continuum (4/3/2006)[/b][hr][quote][b]wombat (4/3/2006)[/b][hr]I love Trip for his compassion and for his fallability. He was never painted as a perfect individual. He made mistakes but always took responsiblity and learnt from them. He never let these instances or the losses and hurts he suffered close him down emotionally- he always remained open. Archer was the antithesis of this once the Xindi event occured - he became tunnel visioned and cut himself off from people. This made him far less interesting as a character and far less relatable to - unlike Trip who always kept true to who he was through all these difficulties.

Just realised I haven't given my own thoughts on the subject (unlike me).

Although I agree with whats been said so far on this thread. I think for me on Star Trek as a whole, (with watching it since I was a young boy) has inadvertantly infuenced me to a large degree. I think I have picked up some of the common phrases and use it in everday conversations. Can't think of an example right now - but you have probably noticed it from my postings anyway.

I think on the character of Trip, yes I agree with Bajor Ron that he is a true to life character who makes his fair share of mistakes. Who isn't like that? I think out of all the characters, on all series, I would say I was more like Trip simply because of his sarcastic sense of humour and his ability to jump to the wrong conclusion and (admittedly) for his hypersensitivity. I think each crew on each series has had some influence with me on how to deal with situations and how not to deal with situations. :)
