You are missing the point, Heinrich. It is his wife and she is sick of him working all the time and not paying her any attention

TOPIC STARTER
NOW I know why I don't videoconference with my clients!
I am a woman and I'm hetero, but with a wife hot like that, that must be one hell of a laptop to keep him glued to it!

I don't think this little incident did any harm to his business, though. I'm sure his business partners were very keen on scheduling a follow-up video conference soon.

Some weeks ago there were at least two threads with a few links to language related videos - some of these might have been mentioned there already. Anyway, these are some of my favourites:
- An old favourite of mine is this one. I have watched it plenty of times already but still laugh out loud: "Do you speak English?" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziFIv1P4bLc )
- And this one is equally funny - a new favourite of mine:
"I don't need subtitles" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RKuiyvvRq4 ) Hilarious!
- And here, something cute for the ladies: various translated versions of the song "Can you feel the love tonight?" skillfully put together. A great piece of work and a pleasure to watch (and listen to): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpmug6ODaWc .

I'm glad somebody was courageous enough to take up this topic with us poor husbands who simply can't find any peace in mind to work and earn money.
1st and 2nd time is OK, but when the clients refuse to accept e-mail communication and start insisting on video conference at 4 pm when spouse usually comes home I start wondering..

Must be a country where women don't work.
