English Idioms
From Gee:
Good to you, Catherine, to take a preventive because I made a big mistake by mistaking puddle with poodle.
As long as you thought of a puddle of cold water, you were right.
But I meant poodle! British citizens said many a time that Tony Blair is the Bush's poodle.
A puddle is a very small pool of dirty water.
A poodle is a dog.
This is nothing to be proud. Just a bit sorry.
But I don't actually apologize, for there is gold in mistake (I translate Mathieu Chedid "Il y a de l'or dans l'erreur.") I guess that I won't never mistake those two homonyms again. And I trust that you won't too.
This leads us far away from idioms but could hint a new headline with homonyms.

From Catherine Angevin-Djian:
ok,Gee, for "in England there are many many false friends"...I did'nt never go in England, but I beleve you.
Bush's puddle is so cold...I'go to take a medication right now as a preventive.
( Excuse-me because my english is approximate)
Friendly yours too,
Catherine
