"stick pins in my eyes" in french ? Hello, as I was chatting with someone in english, the person used the phrase " stick pins in my eyes", then I had a look on the internet but I can't find the french translation of it? Do you know if there is an equivalent phrase in french ? I have never heard " m'enfoncer des aiguilles dans les yeux" in french...

I wish I tried to make sentences with "I wish". Please, could you correct them. - I wish I learned spanish when I was younger / or : I wish I had learned spanish when I was younger - I wish to have nice weather during my next holiday. - I wish for nice weather next week. - I wish I had a bigger house, so that I could invite more friends to my birthday party. - I wish I did not drink so much alcool last night, I would not be sick today.

A warm Sunday afternoon The weather has been quite incredible for a few days. We are still in February, but we could think that April has already arrived. This afternoon it is about fifteen degres in Brittany, and many people are walking in the park and along the streets in my neighbourhood. Now I am at home, but before writing here on Italki, I went outdoors with my wife, we took a walk along the little river which runs to the south of our village. It was a pleasant stroll, very quiet, we heard only the water flowing gently between the rocks in the river bed.

Part two ( no ground...) This is the second part of my text; could you correct it please. Thanks in advance. To put in a nutshell, what the artist wants to point out is the objection of a part of the american population who claims to be real american people who defends their country and american values against profaners but while they oppose themselves to the project of the construction of the mosque near Ground Mosque, they desecrate America because they wrote their message on the American Constitution and even I believe that their commitment, action is in contradiction to what they aim to protect.

No ground zero mosque This picture is a cartoon. On the left in the foreground, we can observe a plump middle-age american man. He has his hands on his hips and wears a white T-shirt on which is printed an american flag and a sentence which displays his loyalty towards America . A lapel pin on which we can read « Palin 2012 » is sticked to his t-shirt. The cartoonist drew the man with a grumpy face in order to catch our attention on the fact that he is opposed to the project of the construction of a mosque. Indeed, we can supposed that he wrote the message « No Ground zero mosque » on the large banner behind him because he carries on his right hand a paintbrush and a can of paint in the other hand. On the left, a chubby woman is hammering the banner to two posts to keep the placard upright. We can suppose that she is her wife because they seem to be the same age and she wears a pants on which a large american flag is printed. The man is speaking in an informal english and says that he can’t accept muslims who don’t respect the America’s liberty to dishonor a sacred place as Ground zero. It was the place where the Twin Tower were standing before the 11 September disaster and is become since a reverence place. What the author wants to criticise is this part of the American population not much educated which considers itself as a defender of the nation. The construction of his sentence is not correct and he does not pronounce the words correctly. His lapel pin shows us that he encourages a possible candidacy of Sarah Palin for the presidential elections in 2012. Sarah Palin is member of the populist Tea Party whose a part is conservative and against Islam. So the man wants to protect a sacred place against muslims who are to him freedom defacers. But both characters are violating America and its Constitution because we can observe that they wrote their message on the American constitution which begins by « We the people » and whose values are toleration and the living together.
