Thanks for the suggestion gfdonc. I will check out that magazine - if you stumble across it and can pass on the issue/title details, that would be brilliant.

Billk, I am brushing up on my persian at the moment. This is what I know so far, which I hope will be sufficient for most situations - but, still looking for the phrases "take, take, take" and "slack". Any ideas?

Be jan khodam, nemidoonestam khahar koochaket bood - I swear on my life, I didn't know she was your little sister.

Kassi abjoh va goosht khook mel dareh? Anybody for pork and beer?

Oon yek khiareh dar jib shalvaret, ya faghad khoshhali keh man rah molaghat kardi?
Is that a cucumber in your pocket or are you just happy to have met me?

Vai, man az marz-eh darya-i-yeh keshvar shomah rad shodam ba yek kehsti-eh niroo defayi-eh Engilis? Che eshtebayeh khari!
Oh, I've crossed the sea border into your country with a British naval boat? What a stupid mistake!
