Very odd... Vic's chosen phrase is actually the default phrase on the English-Klingon translator at The Universal Translator.

Strangely(?) The translation is slightly different!

Preach in Klingon? Some people think I have been doing that for years.

Hehehe! The difference in translation apparently comes from the fact that Klingon actually uses a different alphabet so written in Roman script it is only an approximation... And the same thing can be spelt in slightly different ways. Either that or I just got it wrong!! I like their use of default phrase though :lol:

John, Vic's doing really well given she's not a trekkie and until recently had never even seen an episode of star trek!

I was thinking of going into a pet shop and asking them if they stock Tribbles, or failing that, if I pulled the legs off a hamster it would then look like a tribble...

One of our managers at work has a tribble on her desk.

It's amazing how many people who come to visit just end up stroking it!

Thankfully, it's obviously been doctored, as she still only as one tribble!

I must confess, Louise I hadn't realised you were so young. Perhps it also affects people who are young at heart.
