Our Melanie ('Our' indicates I'm writing about a member of my family, in this case my lovely daughter, born and bred in Spain. In Northern Ireland, in our speech, even total strangers soon become acquainted with all the family) went to study in Newry and lived with my family in Castlewellan. In the evenings she worked in a bar in Newcastle.
Now in Spanish you use the word 'molestar' all the time but in English 'molest' has other connotations. Poor dear late Michael Jackson was accused of child molesting. Melanie had been complaining about somebody molesting her and only realised her error when she was told that she was making a grave accusation.
So what word do you use in English.? Well, I was suggesting annoys, bothers ... but Marcos, who had lived in London had a better suggestion... he pisses me off.
Anyway I saved Melanie the bother of writing this story herself. It's not easy facing a blank page is it?
