Today's HT mail

[mrkilla22]

A guy from Suomi sent me this today. Does anyone speak Finnish?

Subject: myy minulle Matti Kohonen

Myy jooko minulle sun Matti Kohonen mä voisin tarjota siitä 150000 enempään ei ole varaa... meistä voisi sitten tulla tosi hyvät kaverit... mä olen Pate.

[Poli]

Sweet.

[Desnudo]

I think he's saying to stay out of his tomato garden.

[PilotMan]

If I had to guess, I would think that it might be a spam ad for a player he is trying to sell.

[hhiipp]

I think it's the guy who sold you the player. Not sure exactly what he's trying to say though, the only finnish translator I tried gave a garbled mess.

[mrkilla22]

Nah, it's not the same team that I bought him from. Matti Kohonen is a player of mine but I have no clue what he/she is saying. Maybe he wants to buy him for 150k!

[bronconick]

Maybe it's his name, and that's why he wants to buy him?

[Maltby]

it's his name...I know that much...I still haven't heard back from my translater for ya bro.

Chat in IRC about a hattie mail I got after I was bidding against a Portugese guy for a Portugese striker trainee:

[14:52] > anyone know portugese?
[14:52] > "tas ver cabrao!!!!!!! kem ék ganhou.. americano de merda"
[14:52] > i got this from a guy i was bidding against in portugal
[14:53] > babelfish gives me "American of excrement" for that last phrase
[14:53] > so im guessing it can't be too happy


EDIT: Even better I had gotten this 15 minutes earlier when the bid (on a 18yo form sco/solid pass with high TSI was at 1.5M):
