Probably on his best behaviour in hope of getting early parole.

Dick, that is SO funny! False beards for cuddling ladies indeed, ROFL!!!!!!!
You know, they have all sorts of interesting things in the Feminine Fun shop in Eastleigh, but oddly, no beards. I wonder why?
And who dreamed up the Jesus outfits with holes in, [:-))] that is just too much, I think I have to go and lie down in a darkened room until my mild hysteria passes.
I don't know when I'll be back. Prolapsed sausages and bearded ladies, it's all too much.

I don't know what you're talking about, Dick. Come on, make me blush......

[quote user="tenniswitch"]There's no need to take the question to absurd extremes.[/quote]
Au contraire, I took the statement at face value. "One only regrets the things one didn't do" is to me just a trite soundbite, and is clearly untrue.
But if it makes some people feel good about themselves, then it serves a purpose.

5-E, go into your profile (find it up at the top of the screen where it says Edit Your Details). There's a box in there for a signature.
Share it with us! [:)]

And his cousin Tata Miki Miki.

Worryingly, his brain is prolapsing too..... I never sausage a terrible thing. Boom Boom! [:-))]
Alcohol-free....... well, it's a while since I've been in a French supermarket, but the last time I was in High Peru there was certainly a section devoted to non-alcoholic drinks. It may just have been aperitif-type things though. That's where I get my alcohol-free Pastis.

Or even 5169, then I can tell my terrible joke again. [:-))]

Do you have a problem with THAT?

Ford Anglia, I think I might just have to report you for talking to a Moderator in a capital-letter tone of voice.

Oh yes, bit of a parse-up there! [:)]

[quote user="Cassis"]Sorry, Rumzi, I'm turning you in for a major infraction of the Forum code. You did not mention 50 years.
[/quote]Oh Cassis, I am gutted. You're a collaborator! Do you think I'll get to eat sausages in prison? I hope my sentence won't be as long as Dick's, I can't my parsing up for that long.

Has anyone been here? It's near Narbonne. http://www.patchwork-cep.com/UK/accueil_uk.htm
Is it worth driving 110km for and paying the motorway tolls? [:)]

A few years ago, I chose to do something rather costly that didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. I would never recommend that anyone else do the same thing, and yet I don't regret having done it. I learned a lot from the experience, and it was definitely one of those things that I would have forever wondered "if only..."
[/quote]
Yes, this trite view of the world does apply if the results of what you did weren't too bad. I mean, presumable nobody died or even lost limbs or had their entire house burned to the ground because of what you did?
I'll bet the guy who said it wouldn't be so smug if those things happened to him because of something he did!
Blackadder moment coming on...... "and that's where you'd be wrong!". Who knows what episode I'm thinking of? [:)]

I hope the 151 years isn't your sentence, Dick. [blink]
You're in for a lot of parsing with a sentence like that.
We'll send you PMs with small saws hidden inside, and you can dig your way out.

[quote user="Cassis"]So whenever we see a post which strays from the topic or breaks the magical "Code of Conduct", should we now report it?
[/quote]As a good citizen, it would be your duty to do so, Cassis. I think we all should from now on, it would only be right.

Your avatar. It must have been affecting me subconsciously.

[quote user="Dick Smith"]I prefer to think of it as free association.
[/quote]I'm finding it quite poetic.
But then I like the original song too, what was it called..... Hey Miki you're so fine?
OMG I said it!!!!! [:-))] Hey Miki!!!!!! [:-))]

There should be a Wiki - pedia article about words that rhyme with 'sticky'.

Tiki. My dog has Frontline so he doesn't get ticky.

Your local Mairie should be able to tell you of such groups - however if the group is 100m outside your commune they may not know. Have you tried going into a local craft/material/embroidery etc shop and asking them if they know of any groups? It worked for me! Ditto for art groups, go to a local art supply shop.

You have local art supply shops and craft shops? Cool! There is an art supply shop in Lunel along the road, but my mother-in-law said it was very expensive compared to the UK.
Someone opened a craft shop down the road last year, and it's already closed down! Monsieur Bricolage and Leroy Merlin are catching on to the arts-and-crafts thing, but they almost certainly wouldn't know about local patchwork groups.
If your own Mairie doesn't know, just go to another Mairie and ask about what activités their MJC/Foyer des Jeunes runs.

Has anyone noticed that "Sticky" and "Vicki" rhyme?
I wonder, can any of the clever boys and girls (and sausages) out there think of any other words or names that rhyme with "Sticky"?

Women in France do work. Usually both parents work. I have never known many women who have taken much time off when they have had their children.
[/quote]
Yes, the vast majority seem quite desperate to farm the babes out ASAP and get back to work.
Wasn't free care at maternelle introduced to let them do that, because the women just had to get back to their minimum-wage jobs?

But more and more, shops are opening on bank holidays now, especially big supermarkets. And they're usually VERY busy!
Tax returns, minor panic

What have I missed by not being in the country?
It's just occurred to me that it's coming up to the day when I'm usually running along at midnight to put our completed tax return into the overflowing postbox at the Impots place.
I haven't set eyes on a tax return form this year so far.......
