Looks very good! Good "I can do" list. Hotboy, sometimes I think you do speak a foreign language by the different types of words you use. I like the word "knackered", do you say that one much?
..."the usual bumpy bits"...I like that ;)
Lee Ann: Knackered might come from knackers yard. I think they might have boiled down old horses there and made them into glue. It means tired though there might be other connotations. No doubt our friend in Malawi will let us know. Scunnered is a good word. That's a Scottish word. Hotboy
What does scunnered mean? We don't use either of those words here, at all! We should though!
LA and HB - according to the Taipei Times, our nearest daily newspaper, "scunnered" means "annoyed, discontented, or bored, nauseated or disgusted".
The Oxford English Dictionary records that the poet William Dunbar used it in the early 16th century.
(http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2005/06/10/2003258714)
As you say HB, one meaning of "knackered" is very tired, as in "I'm too knackered to meditate this evening".
Another meaning of "knackered" is broken, as in "I knackered my knee trying to get my toe in my mouth".
Pleased to help, robmcj.
Menzies is that you?
Adolf! Zeig! Yon boy's from India! The Buddha book on the site is set in India, some of it. If he was my agent, I could visit Kerala which would be great! I could offer a hundred grand and send a penguin round with it! Hotboy
The local equivalent of 'knackered' hereabouts, to indicate that something is broken, is 'bu*ger*d'.
As in "The jinglamoto is bu*ger*d and does not run well. Can you fix it?"
or
"The fridge is bu*ger*d and all the greens are warm."
The word is said with some sadness, to indicate, I believe, that Western advances don't always match up to expectations.
'Jinglamoto' is the local word for motorbike - as in a moto (car) that makes a jingle-jingle sound.

HB - I fear you need to renegotiate the northern hemisphere rights with Lee Ann before you go giving them away, or the legal expenses could bankrupt us. PS I prefer the bumpy bits all nice and smooth, but your taste is none of my business.
Hafi - which hemisphere is kerala in? If it's south, I'm sorry but I've got that territory covered already, under my stewardship the sales are almost sky high.
