Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance for any help guys.

Hi George,
Thanks for your advice. I got the comment below from one of the other forums.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.

I think your traslation is correct.To mark the present time (you're ) instead of past (occupatus es) I would translate "occuparis",but it doesn't matter.

Thanks in advance,

How would you translate something that was said to John....

"You're some asshole with a Kotex stuck to his forehead."?

I think that comment is a good one. I'd go with it.

I'd probably try to avoid translating it.
