In everyday life I speak (in Russian) as a theft in law (Avtoritet)
=====
Hi everybody! =)))
Long time - no see.

Dear Slava,
In this case you are not "thief in law". There is no such an expression in original
language. Appeared only after "russian mafia" term occupied pages of
newspapers.

One of the original terms is a "kingpin".
=))))))

"What's a petty behaviour?"
===
What was an answer?

I’ve seen this expression “theft in law” in a movie.

Hi to all!
Nice to "see" rather lively discussion.
May I also make a sort of grammar contribution to the following:
"theft" is someTHING that was illegally taken, for example, of another person's property without that person's consent.
synonyms are: burglary, embezzlement, larceny, looting, robbery, shoplifting, fraud and sometimes criminal conversion.

a "thief" is someONE who carries out an act of or makes a career of theft is known as a thief, and the act of theft is known as stealing, thieving, or sometimes filching.
I hope that might help a bit...))))

Hi to all!
may I hope that the thread wouldn't reach the very bottom of front page? I will be away, yes, just another well deserved 2 weeks holiday, and perhaps will have a chance or two to pop in a cafe and just have a quick look...
Take care everyone and Happy Valentine and 23d of February!
See you soon.

This was all a stunt and the pilot was not really drunk.
Completes the drunk redneck look nicely.
From what I've heard, this was NOT announced to everyone at the air show,
so it did cause a little confusion at first among the crowd.
Still, it's an amazing display of flying skills and demonstrates the capabilities of the Piper Super Cub airplane.
This is definitely a video to be shared, just don't try this at home, especially when drunk.

Quite accurate fixations after each rollover are noticeable.

I liked the word "obnoxious" :-)

Hi from Skyline in Singapore! Heading home...14 hours..)))Hope the weather would be OK and the Captain knows his whereabouts!)))

Hi Mila!
How did your journey go?

I am planning to visit Belarus with my girlfriend.
What I have found I could not describe in simple words but just in f-ck, c-nt etc.
Just look at these requirements.

However, unfortunately, at the moment visa requirements for Belarus are very strict and should be observed to the letter.
In order to obtain a tourist visa, one is supposed to prebook the hotel for the whole period of one's stay in the country. Belarussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs specifically instructed the consulates to call the hotels listed in visa support documents and check whether the booking is confirmed.
You can book a hotel in Minsk online through Way to Russia and once the booking is confirmed, the tourist invitation will be provided directly.
If the actual purpose of your visit is seeing friends and stay with them, you
need to obtain a private invitation issued by the local migration authorities
upon your friends' request and then apply for a homestay visa. Time-consuming and lengthy as this may be, for the moment there is no other option to travel to the country.


I traveled half-World with my Israeli passport without any problems.
But here in order to travel to this f-king country I need to get the docs like I’m gonna go to emigrate to that pile of crap.
I’m so angry, no, not angry I’m just f-cked up with that f-cking government and requirements in that f-cking country.
What the f-ck do they think about themselves, it’s just piece of sh-t and nothing more.
Wanted to follow my girlfriend to the marriage of her sister , and now, I just cannot do that crap.

Hi MSL!
It was a piece of cake! Truely good value for money and time...Vietnam was my first country to visit. Boosting economy from an outsider's pov and very high inflation. They do not use coins there at all!)))only notes...So I have purchased the most "expensive" nail varnish in my entire life for 47.000 (VD))))))) Felt like a millionaire...
Nice resorts all over the Pacific coast and to our horror they are very popular with Russo turisto- ob'lick amorale..)))) They occupy all the spaces round the pools, in restaurants, shops....Some of then are OK, BUT 60% are beyond imagination...Eating with hands, roaring with laugh any time of the day, drinking and shouting...Anyway it was FUN to see them as they were qute entertaining...
Saigon is another pearl, worth visiting. Vibrant and lively, melting pot of vices, pleasures and money spending...Crossing the road is a skill! As they all move towards you on their scooters in all inimaginable directions!...Were travelling on a coach and I must say that the driver was possibly a circus driver! Had a few moments when I was ready to say good-bye...))) On a train the conductor was a bit hostile from the very beginning but later on came back to us and was very chatty, friendly , beaming.. he had obviously "consumed" some stuff!))))
And yet have another burning desire to go over there again...

Can I just ask you? Have you ever applied for a Russian visa? It's exactly the same rubbish ( that was a few years ago, though): lots of money and overall time wasting business! So there you go...))))
P.S. Please be careful while using lots of swear words....))))

Mila Love


I just got used to the fact that I always cross any country and any board without any visa, except Israel-enemy countries, where I’m not allowed to go.
For traveling purpose I can get even into USA without visa, you know – even USA which has the strictest boarder control procedure.
But not in this case, holly hell, going to Belarus it’s like to have security clearance for a job in MI6.
Now, Belarus resembles me a country with Stalin’s regime or kind of.

Glad to see you pleased! :-)

Thanks...;-)

Где Авторитет?

Probably he's managed to get a Belarussian visa after all?

he's managed to get a Belarussian visa after all?

Если у вас есть after all, то he had managed to get Bel. visa

Презент пефект - he has managed to do something- не требует обстоятельств места и времени.
вроде так по правилам грамматики.

В грамматике сказано:
Presrnt perfect Часто употребляется с наречиями неопределенного времени и частотности если в контексте нет никаких указаний на то, что данное действие относится к прошедшему времени.
http://www.alleng.ru/mybook/3g ...

Я не спорю и сразу сдаюсь. Тут есть мастера по грамматике. Я расчитывала, что меня поправят. Просто если я говорю Муж заказал билеты на самолет, то

My husband has booked 2 tickets for the trip

Если добавляются всякие обстоятельства времени или места, то had booked.
Не знаю, я уже так привыкла. Ху кеарз. ;)))))))

It looks like He managed to get his visa....
Perhaps, he has managed to get his visa after all
Оба варианта имеют место быть...
Я бы не стала наслаивать past perfct "had managed" в простой предположительной ситуации, так как присутствует неопределённость...Мы не знаем точно, что произошло...))))

Я бы построила свое предложение по-другому, но это уже не имеет отношения к проблеме с визами в Беларусь. :o))))))))

Leave alove Belarus visa and enjoy the per story...)
The Talking Centipede

A single guy decided life would be more fun
if he had a pet.

So he went to the pet store and told the owner that
he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion, he finally bought a talking centipede,
(100-legged critter),
which came in a little white box to use for his home.
He took the box back home, found a good spot for the box,
and decided he would start off
by taking his new pet to church with him.
So he asked the centipede in the box,
"Would you like to go to church with me today?
We will have a good time."
But there was no answer from his new pet.
This bothered him a bit, but he waited a few minutes
and then asked again,
"How about going to church with me and receive blessings?"
But again, there was no answer from his new friend and pet.
So he waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation.
The guy decided to invite the centipede one last time.
This time he put his face up against the centipede's house and shouted,
"Hey, in there! Would you like to go to church with me and
learn about God?"
This time, a little voice came out of the box,
"I heard you the first F****** time!
I'm putting my shoes on!"

Оба варианта имеют место быть...
Я бы не стала наслаивать past perfct "had managed" в простой предположительной ситуации, так как присутствует неопределённость...Мы не знаем точно, что произошло...))))

It wasn't me who started it. :-) I had to respond the challenge. To tell the truth I'm not keen on grammar at all. Yet "We shell spend on drink all we have, but won't disgrace the fleet"!
