Mandarines

Well, I've bought a tin of the mandarines from The Works and one from Tescos too. The Works tin is flat and round like a flat tin of pineapple slices and .. er .. the Tesco one is like a round and taller tin of mandarines.

How different can mandarinjes be? In one tin you get a cd and a round booklet (with a few piccies) teaching you 300 words of mandarines. Which works out at near enough 1p a word. Can't remember how much the Tescos mandarinies are but anyway I'm not going to count the segments and work the comparable pricing out like they probably would at the Tescos because a particular lemuure isn't well enough for that right now. This lemuure isn't up to much right now to be honest. 300 words could take a while. But The Works always comes up trumps when I want something to do.

So learning the mandarines is what this lemuure is going to do for a while. I think 300 words (mainly in phrases) is enough for a very poorly lemuure.

But if this seems irrestistable to u I eventually noticed that not only was that site trying to tempt u with mandarines but also wiv de Nederlandsjies.
