This is Xavi, reporting from London. I agreed with Lewis that I would post in the blog from time to time, especially when I had some English-related issues to talk about.
Last Saturday, I was wandering around in the Brick Lane area, which is a zone full of restaurants and vintage clothing shops. And then, I saw it. There it was, standing proudly right in front of me: Pau's favourite place in London:
As you can see, it's a bar/restaurant (whatever), and it's called "Verge".
Literally, the neighbours living upstairs are "on the Verge". Hahahaha! Sorry, I just couldn't help taking that picture and posting it.
By the way, TV programs here are permanently subtitled. Or at least, I don't know how to switch the subtitles off in my TV set, I admit it. What an engineer.
Anyway, thanks to that, I have learnt that there is another expression equivalent to the famous "to be on the verge of (...)". It is "to be on the brink of (...)". Am I right, Lewis?
Well, my best regards to all of you. Keep in touch!
Very funy Xavi! We all had a look at your blog post this morning...
ReplyDeleteXavi is always very funny.
ReplyDeleteDespite being thousands of km away you always feel he is on the brink of saying something interesting.
I feel very happy when I realize that my comments at class you will increase your life expectancy.
Enjoy your days at London, learn a lot of things and publish as much as you can.
My best and envious regards.
Pau
