o) Reading a wonderful book by Jean Echenoz, and last night the
description of the 'flat hat' by this amazing chap was so hilarious
... well at least it was in French "I'll say perhaps like a pancake,
or perhaps the consistency of a floppy medium sized octopus ... ".
Anyway, I thought of you. There.

I thought the French description of the vachement flat 'at was that of what
we funny English call a 'cow pat'.

Anyhow, il y a ces deux vaches. La premiere dit a la deuxieme, "qu'est-ce
que c'est que vous pensez de la vache folle?" Et la deuxieme reponds "il ne
m'inquiet pas; je suis un canard.".

I think that's how you spell "canard".

;-)

It is indeed :-) Fine French for a Devonman, and thanks for the
giggle.
As to your initial proposal, how do we know you didn't post a pic of
your very handsome cousin?
