Started this discussion. Last reply by Angela(+Alain-Corneille) Nguema on Sunday. 6 Replies

Today's mid-day news on TF1. Two of Claire Chazal's headlines: Sarkozy opens his new election campaign HQ in Paris and two pandas go on public view in French zoo. Each had its own caption and, you…Continue

Espinté and other words

The short discussion I had with Andrew Hearne elsewhere on the forum about the meaning of the word "espinté" made me wonder whether anyone else uses colourful local expressions. My favourite is…Continue

Terry Williams replied to leeanne plows's discussion 'Consumer rights advice please'
If it doesn't work as advertised (how fast is it meant to go?) then you have a right to a refund, a repair or a replacement. If you can't get a response from the suppliers try contacting UFC Que Choisir, the consumers…

Terry Williams replied to barbara deane's discussion 'Terry and Andrew'
Apologies if I upset you Barbara but Andrew is right (and thanks for defending me, Andrew!). It's just a humorous way of making a valid point about the abysmal state of grammar both here and back in the UK. A bit like the tale of the…

I really wouldn't like to be the person who made that mistake. Maybe it was Cameron's dirty tricks department infiltrating the newsroom so he could get his own back!

Priceless! Thanks Terry that's brightened up my evening no end laughing at that. I'm not really sure who I'd vote for either and my OH is still very undecided, perhaps she won't bother in the end!

If you want to see it Andrew, when I last looked they hadn't zapped it from their web site http://www.tf1.fr/jt-we/revoir-jt-week-end/. Maybe no-one has noticed?? But sure someone at the Elysée will. For once I'm glad…

Missed that one Terry, France 3 on Saturdays as I leave to go cycling at 13h00. I reckon the pandas might do a better job than Sarko though...!

SsDF, aka Toto

Posted on July 31, 2011 at 6:44pm 5 Comments

We called him SsDF -- Siamois sans domicile fixe. He turned up at our home 10 months ago, very bedraggled, very wary of humans and clearly in need of a lot of TLC. All our dogs and cats have been strays who either just turned up on our doorstep or had been rescued by the local animal protection society. On one occasion we took in a gorgeous pedigree Irish setter abandoned by a neighbour in a field on a diet of dried bread in mid winter. He had basically been left to die after a road accident… Continue

Johnny Foreigner

Posted on July 18, 2011 at 6:37pm 2 Comments

"Many things had changed in this twenty-first-century world, but the English still headed into Europe like eighteenth-century aristos, treating Johnny Foreigner as a kind of moving wallpaper ..."
