Who are these urglers?
In reply to Cat(h) ) who wrote this in
, I, Marvo, say : Uncle Marvo wrote: It's the Yorkshireman's flat 'at. I don't remember why I bought it, I'm from Devon originally (God's own County). 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. But rubbish French for someone who worked /en/paris/ for a wee while. I can tell you the French words for any sort of beer glass now, and anything to do with Windows, as opposed to windows. As to your initial proposal, how do we know you didn't post a pic of your very handsome cousin? LOL. But why would I want to? I could post a pic of my bro, he's a few years younger than me. But he has no hair. I do, as can be seen from another pic [posts another pic] http://www.backtrack.org/images/DSCF1080.JPG of me at the back of my house. And yes, I do own another coat, honest :-) Cat(h) (and can we do the same?) Only if you /have/ a handsome cousin. Go on ... |
