Hey DC, nice one, I think you can just use the infinitive there though, after 'me gusta' - 'me gusta estar ...' or if you wanted I'm glad ..... then you could use - me alegro de que estoy jublilando :) - Kiwi-Girl, May 27, 2011
Very funny, Dave! :) ¡Y tienes razón! - Ingeteacher, May 27, 2011
Indeed: Me gusta estar jubilado / Me alegro de estar jubilado. ( the last Kiwi's option "me alegro de que estoy jubilando" is not correct) Well done, dcalienz! :) - cogumela, May 27, 2011
Thanks Laura. Thanks Inge. Thanks Kiwi. It has taken me an hour to fix this haha. - dc-alien-z, May 27, 2011

The real hair moustaches made in our factory are tested with real, live noses.

Los bigotes de piel auténtico se hice en nuestra fábrica son examinados con narices de verdad y vivos.

Too many mistakes to count, lucky Cogu is not as quick as someone we know to send people to the DC, je je smile

Ahora sabemos que no es verdad que las mujeres quieren a los hombres quien "que huelen a sudor. La ciencia es maravillosa, no?

Now we know that it's not true that women want men who smell like sweat. Science is marvellous, isn't it?
