I learnt Icelandic at Uni; does that count? If not, what about my very long suffering but patient wife: Jazz on thurs, fri, sat, sun, tues, and every night the following week, including 2 trips to Glasgow?
Let me have your wife's phone number...
As you know Lance, any communication from you goes to her first and she's much better at these things than I am, so I only see what she lets me.
