To add to the image of our crew member abandoned outside a London hospital on a trolley he tells me he had a smoke too while he was there…all a very unhealthy image.
My adventures in the Russian language continue and it’s interesting to see the things that a) stick and b) lead to other discoveries.
For instance, I found out, via Himself, that there is no ‘th’ in Russian, it’s an ‘eff’ sound instead, so the stuff of myth is the stuff of miff and Jesus was born in beflehem – which is all very cockney, I think.
The Russian for friend is drug – I can’t do cyrillic so this is probably not TRULY accurate…but close…so a pal can be a ‘drug’ (pronounced dhrug which is quite Irish) and I guess it gives truth to the song title Love is The Drug…
When I told a mate on the set this they said ‘gift’ is the German for poison…the things you learn
