My kingdom for... :) The other day when I watched different videos on Youtube in order to relax after working, I accidentally ran into a video named, if I'm not mistaken, "Some ways to say "I want" in English". Among others there was an expression which attracted my attention. It was "My kingdom for...". English teacher who explained all this (the English native speaker, by the way) promptly warned that this phrase came from "Richard III" by William Shakespeare and that in modern English it's used quite rarely in recent times but, nevertheless, it's acceptable. I was just charmed by this phrase. And, yes, I know If some day I decide to use it, it might look like an exaggeration or even some kind of absurdity but I find the expression "I will give everything I have if somebody bring me a pizza. My kingdom for a good old pizza" sounds very funny and a bit nobly at the same time. :)

Just for fun :) I didn't know what to write, that's why I just decided to translate one amusing text from Russian into English :) Advices of psychologist. Irene's question: One of guys from my university is most interested in my person. I am struggling to flirt with him to support his illusive hopes for our relationship. As a result he does my homework, does up my computer and my car and carries my bags. I don't deny that, certainly, all this is quite well but it is not enough for me. Please, give me some advices how I can get absolute power over this man and what I must do to destroy his personality and to destruct his faith of himself. Psychologist's answer: Dear Irene. From your letter, I've understood that you are a real leader and, also, I've figured out that you are most damned wretch I've ever heard. Therefore, I have to say the following. You should think over your thoughts in the morning. That's why you just should turn your gas-stove on as soon as possible and, then, you will go to bed because the best advise is found on the pillow.
