Was your father a thief? Because he stole the stars from the sky and put them in your eyes.

Equipped with that pick-up line, you can be certain to score in the universal language of love. So say the authors of a new top 10 list of pick-up lines which have been translated from English into Czech, French, Italian, Spanish and German by the publishers Chambers.

Taking inspiration from its new range of pocket-sized phrasebooks, Chambers compiled its own list of the definitive top 10 pick-up lines.

The UK publisher picked the lines from the assorted phrase books and compiled their own light-hearted list, to assist vacationers heading out to European destinations this summer.

Anna Stevenson, from Chambers Harrap, said "The French and Italians are especially renowned for their romantic ways but it seems that chat-up lines are the same no matter what language you are speaking."

"Our chat-up lines show budding English- speaking Romeos how to impress the girl of their dreams whatever country she is from, but it also allows British women to wise up to the charms and cheeky ways of foreign suitors," said Stevenson.

"Nice shoes, you wanna go do it?"

OK, maybe not the most subtle line, but it does make women laugh.

Share your secrets.

Laz: "How would you like to be taken home by me, sexually ravished for a while, then chained down in the cellar, tortured and raped for the next three days, then brutally dismembered while still living?"

Her: "HELL no!"

Laz: (pulls gun and sounding cheerful) "Well then! Back luck for you!"

The best pickup line I ever heard was when my wife swept me off my feet, (literally, with a leg sweep), looked down at me and said, "You shouldn't have done that."

Long story.

[veronica]
