Speaking of Donald we could also deal with taking the Micky, not the  
Apple mousse...

Nice was until recently still used in Noth East France to mean just  
the contrary ' il est nice' in the Vosges area would mean 'he is a  
grumpy fellow' ...
Go figure!

Oh, cheese and biscuits! This must be due to a bad translation and  
should read "Cheese and Bisquit" ;-)

this kind I'd take without any qualms :-)

and to finish with and with reference to phonetics I just love the way  
Essex people pronounce nice, and in noise ...
