Rhiannon Brooksbank–Jones loves The Vapors track 'Turning Japanese' which she sings along to in short tongue Korean. Rhianno currently studies at a nearby university in the county of Robin the Hood and dreams of speaking in tongues; which is handy when imaging countries she can't be sure exist except perhaps in pixels. She struggles with shopping trolleys, folding maps back into their designated creases but it's the pronunciation of certain Zulu vowels and the Korean for; 'he's one fit fella,' that triggers tongue malfunction. "Being a short arse - which moi isn't- well that's one thing; but having a tongue that's totally useless for certain French smooching maneuvers is not cool." She ran out of paper but continued writing on my T shirt, "I'm not thick, but that friggin' lingual frenulum is! As things stand, I can't be the voice of Korea's speaking clock or the bingo caller at my local." Her parents nodded their agreement. "It's got to be the15 minute lingual frenectomy op for number one daughter, followed by lashings of her fav ice cream."
A couple of weeks later Rhiannon said tentatively, "Sore or what. Such aggers at first, but tonguey is now about 1cm longer and I'll soon be Rosetta Stoning the crap out of all in my immediate vicinity!" Little won-soong-ee. (Photo: Paul Tonge)
