Hi magic32

The English looks mostly fine; just a few remarks:

- I act a stupid -> this doesn't sound right in English. Could it be 'I act like an idiot'? Or perhaps 'I act stupidly'?

- leave on Thursday

- 'outside the courts' (without 'of') is more correct in English.

Could you let me know what you think, and edit if you agree with my suggestions? Then I'll set a poll.
Thanks!

I agree with your suggestions.I knew that the phrase "I act a stupid" was not right but the original refers to a stupid play or role. I couldn't think a more appropriate phrase. I will correct my translation.Sorry for not replying but I was in holiday. Thank you!
