Ich habe mit Dave Weckl gespielt. Mein Gott! Er ist doch einen Trommelmeister. Hier ist ein film mit Herr Weckl:

Dave Weckl's the drummer.

Savant la plupart des ces langues, excepté Irlandais, je ris pour l'idiotisme comment les traduiseurs electronique traduisent ces phrases. Et avec cela, l'intention de vous essayer à produire des phrases correcte avec une traduiseur electronique.

for those who don't like the French: use a dictionary or put it through babel fish or something similar, you'll notice the message.

Schreibend von Musik, in einige Tagen gibt es einen Single mit meine Stimme in dem Hintergrundchor. Mann kann es in einige Tagen finden auf www.kersthit.com
übrigens, ich denke nicht dass sie mir heraus wiederherkennen wirden, weil meine Stimme nicht apart eingesprochen war.

Using my sparse knowledge of Yiddish and such, I get that it is something denying, a negatie, but the last word is the keyword, which I DON't get. What does it mean?

You wouldn't. It technically means "teapot." There's a phrase = "hok a tshaynik" which literally means "bang a teapot," but which in usage means "to gossip" or "natter on and on." It comes from the habit in the 19th-century shtetls of the hausfraus banging a pot to indicate to the others that they had acquired some juicy gossip.

So, altogether, the phrase means roughly, "Everybody just stop talking nonsense!" :wink:

I'm doing French GCSE, and trying to pick up german in bits on my own. I can say a few things, but most things i need a dictionary for. I could do with a language tutor really, but they cost alot.
