It roughly translates to, Your wellington boots have holes in them.
We have a Chinise student working at our place I will ask her tomorrow if no one else comes up with the real answer first.

Correct gents it's for a tattoo - but I want to make sure what it says first. they are different options not all one sentence.
I just don't want the wearer (not me) to order 'chicken fried rice' by accident!
Tomorrow is absolutely fine thanks 
Cheers

I popped into this thread because I thought you were going to be inviting some of us round for a meal!
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Apparently the last one can be translated as 'Mark' - it doesn't have any meaning as such, just the phonetic sounds of characters
produce 'Mark'. That would be the one to go for if you want the name.
The first one could be pronounced 'Mark' but it wouldn't be used to represent a name.
Or something.

That's pretty much what the chap next to me has said as well. He also looked at the top two and scratched his head a bit and said
"It's wrong!" It's seems to be a very stylised symbol, not how a Chinese person would write them.

Apparently the first 2 would be a bit of a stutter mi mi or similar.
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

According to my wife (Chinese Malaysian)...
First two (notice they are the same character but the first one has the exra 'prefix' ) are just a sound that would be pronounced like
'my'. The prefix on the first one just means 'expressive' or something like that. The first one doesn't make any sense
on its own like that, but the secon one means 'malt'. Third would be pronounced 'mah' and 'kuh' and is a way the
western name 'Mark' could be represented in Chinese characters. Kinda more like 'Marker' though.
Hope that helps

Just to add my chinese friend has managed to get back to me, she said:
I can't reply the note on facebook, so I anwser you by email.
means "Mark", in China it means a foreigner's name, or Germany money.
I hope my translate can be useful.
