Calling All Russians! Help Please! :-)
Hi all,
Just wondering if there are any Russians or Russian speakers (readers, really) on the forum?
My parents have just come back from a Russian riverboat cruise and brought me back a tshirt which appears to have a poem on the back. However, despite my dad having won some competition on the cruise boat for his Russian speaking talents, it's not quite up to being able to translate.
Just wondering if anyone could assist?
Many thanks!

I thought i'd have a bash at Zingle's suggestion for a laugh... Got to "Hymn Of Russia" before I got bored
Open up charmap (start, run, charmap), scroll down down to the bottom where the Russian (Cyrllic) characters are. Copy and paste them into babelfish.
