[quote user="osie"] My 1/2 French other half has advised me that a salade de roquefort is only made up of roquefort and so would be misleading... That is why I asked you what sort of salad it was.. And she had never heard of 'Meli mélo' although I am sure I will start using it in my everyday chat. Méli mélo is often used when there is a mix of different things ( salads in particular). My ex partner used to run a restaurant and I had suggested that too [quote user="osie"]     One mistake he used to make was saying " menu de jour" when it should have been " menu DU jour. " Osie [/quote]oo.   Osie [/quote]

Oui, bien aussi !!  

So I d say " Meli mélo de salade au roquefort , huile de noix et vinaigre balsamique" ... Yummy !!!

I'd say " salade au roquefort, vinaigre balsamique et huile de noix " . yet, what kind of salad is it? lettuce? Roquette? batavia?

To the OP , it is definitely a mistake. It should have been " délivrée" . As for la St jean, la St pierre, etc... That s what we say, though , I can't explain why... AS for Le France, it sounds OK to me, it is the hotel ( masculine) that is LE France...

Where do they live ? I guess you know that when you rent and the property is being sold , you are entitled to stay until the end of your "bail" .  People can buy, but then it is an investment, they do, knowing there will be tenants for a while. ( up to 3 years ) I once rented a house from "leboncoin" and there was no agency fee , direct negociation with the owner, but of course with a contract .  

Christine and Sweet [kiss] HAPPY  NEW   YEAR !!!!!!   May all your wishes come true !!

  I ve had my share in 2012.... But ... let's be optimistic and state with Robert Misrahi : " La vocation de l'humanité n'est pas la souffrance mais la joie , elle n'est pas la culpabilité du péché , mais la liberté de la jouissance réfléchie et partagée. " 

Happy New year Bugs !!

From Frenchie and co . [kiss]

L'argent ne fait pas le bonheur, mais il y contribue . Words of wisdom to me .

That guy's amazing !!!! [:D] Hey; Steve, can you smell the chesnuts roasting on an open fire ? http://youtu.be/qLO38Hc9cBw   

Norman, BRILLIANT LAST POST !!!!!!!!

  Very helpful , Norman, thanks for sharing.... Moins bricoleuse que moi .... pas possible !!! [:D]

[quote user="woolybanana"]I had that Frenchie. I think it might be nervous tension.[/quote] Might be, plus arthrosis I guess. It didn't happen to me in cold weather. The doctor has suggested " Arnold syndrome " . We will see. Now the pain has gone.  What a relief !!!!!!!

I had exactly the same a few weeks back. transitory but very sharp pain, all day long. My GP sent me to an " ostéopathe" who said it had to do with the basis of my skull and the first vertebra. Yet, the pain was at the back of my head, on the left side. I felt better for a day after seeing him, then it came back.  I took strong medication the GP had given me, and have to have an RMI soon.  

As Chancer stated, by sms at midnight or just after , but for cards, send them after the 1st.. You have the whole month of jan to send them in fact. Bises and bisous .. Well , a slight difference, IMO, bisous implies a bit more intimacy. Bisous à tous !! [:D]  

Thanks Frecossais ! Good to read your words, as well as those of Sweet17, and all the people I love on here. They know who they are ! I won't wish you a happy new Year now, as I ve always been told never to wish it in advance ... ( another one of those silly French things I guess ... LOL )  Bisous . ( One thins we do better than you !!  LOL )
