Frenchie

Now I'm a bit puzzled .. [blink]  [:)] Maybe I'll go for vanilla ice cream , and chantilly. One of the kids is very fussy, so it should be OK . Thanks for your quick answers.

Now I'm offended . ........  ( NOT !!) [:D] Ok for the ice cream . And the tarte , a bit warmed up ?

Good suggestion .. [:)]

I have English friends coming for dinner tomorrow night. For dessert, I intend to make a tarte with pears from the orchard. But I think the English would like it better if it was accompanied with .. - crème anglaise ( French style ... [:)] ) ? - ice cream ? - whipped cream ? Am I wrong ? Any other suggestions ?  

I got confused because I vesent PMs to people I know usually answer rapidly since they probably check their PMs each time they go on the forum , so I thought something was wrong . Sorry .

I would certainly say YES, he's got it !!!

Guess I sound dumb now.. Une oie blanche ...! ( do you get that .. ?)

Please explain, I don't get it ?

I'm thinking of that poor guy, how distressed he must have been..... And the family now.. they were inside the house, not knowing what was happening outside... Hope this will lead to a radical change in the conception of this system.

For no one A simple and beautiful song, isn't it ?

OK, right, I stand corrected . By the way, Chancer, if you read this, YOU got a PM .

Is it the same for PMs ?  

Hi Steve !! [kiss] Had Macca predicted the international crisis ? [Www]   http://youtu.be/XK9doTm8CH8   [:)]

" Elle a très peur " is good. You can also say :  " elle est terrifiée " ,  " elle a la trouille " ( but that's more familiar)  " elle est terrorisée " ... Give her a cuddle for me anyway !!!

There was an article recently , in the French paper Le Figaro , about  the following video ( released one year ago ) . http://youtu.be/5Cr-CM4LVXo Any comments ??

Had the best one EVER last night !!  [:)]

[quote user="cooperlola"][quote user="idun"]I have a good english friend called Regina, .[/quote]You see, for me Idun that is another of those names which, in English although not in its French equivalent, is a very cruel one of parents to have given a daughter. No prizes for guessing what  the average cruel adolescent would have called her at school.[/quote] well, even in French, I don't like my name, but hey.. have to do with it ... In a sense, I am sooooo lucky !! My dad wanted to call me Marcelle !! [:-))][:-))][blink]

Next best invention after Champagne ?? Chateauneuf du Pape !![;-)]

[quote user="EmilyA"] Very happy to be English in France and after all it is nothing new, there have been British living here through many centuries.[/quote]     [:D][:D][:D]  

My name is also a problem for English speakers, most of the time Régine becomes Gina .. [:)]

Look, he's smiling on that second picture !! [:)] Such good news !!

MERCI !! Il est magnifique !!

[quote user="idun"]In England I'd just tell them that Guillaume was William, let them call him Will or Bill, it'll be easier. People will find a way round it, OR they will call him Frenchie.[:-))][/quote] NON, c'est MOÛA , et je suis UNIQUE !! [:D][:D][:D] 

[quote user="Chancer"] Idun, I suggest that you visit my part of Picardie and you will then look back on Normandie with fond memories [:D] [/quote] Look Chancer, this guy also complains about Picardie   [:)] http://youtu.be/nl-Db3_qsSM   " On aurait pu aller s'installer à Moscou.. On n'aurait pas été dépaysés, ni par la température ni par les gens ... " [:D] PS : Chancer, you got a PM.
