Tresco Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 what was it Miki calls them...I think Scoobies is the word you were looking for Dotty. I think he has a scooby 'alert', but he may have a filter where hairy ones are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter and boyfriend had a Barbecue tonight, a kind of meet the in-laws affair. Left eldest son here to man the house (kids still here from the UK) and just got back.The scoobie alert is hopeless. So I went and bought the latest thrupenny bit alertfrom Tom Tom, which let's us know not only when they are about butsize, angle and where exactly they can be found.......I forgot to takeit with us and son didn't know why he could hear thrupenny bits, thruppeny bits coming from the box by the computer!Tresco...hairy armpits, hairy scoobies, hairy chins................. they all get the same response [+o(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerise Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Given the hairiness of Saligo Bay's avatar on another place (wot must not be mentioned - nudge nudge ...) and the fact that she and Dick are away at the same time I think we should all be putting 2 and 2 together to make any number you can think of. Says she's on holiday ???? He reckons he's on school trip ???? No better than they should be either of them. See I'm really getting the hang of this Forum gossip lark, must have been hanging round with too many of the village ladies wearing those fetching blue apron thingies.[6]Well that's me off for a quick peer from behind my lace curtains. Not at all sure what him next door is doing in the potager - and with her from across the road as well ... and have you seen the size of his courgettes?[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I am glad he's gone away - only because I was beginning to wonder if our apostrophe saga had finally put him off the forum! Didn't think it would. I love Dick to bits too - as long as we steer clear of the subject of homeschooling! Or, actually, probably most education type subjects!!

Of course at the time I was still living in Nexcastle so the news reports took some time to reach us by minstrel post and the message could have been a bit garbled.

Dick Smith Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Not good. 20 hours on the coach each way...Kids - well, some were OK.I liked Fréjus market, but the Neolithic Park was a bit tedious.The rest is, happily, fading from memory.Oh, and not a single kid or collecting parent said "Thank You"!

Hoddy Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Dick, you’ve reminded me of a friend and former colleague of mine who gave up teaching French to become a tour guide. One night I was having a drink with him and his wife when he disappeared. He came back a little later with a pile of A4 sheets about an inch and a half thick. He gave them to me and said, “That’s the difference between my job and yours.”Every sheet was a photocopy of a thank you letter that a satisfied customer had written in his praise. His boss had taken the trouble to photocopy them and pass them on.I know you’ll understand this story and how I felt.HoddyWelcome back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miki Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 [quote]Oh, and not a single kid or collecting parent said "Thank You"![/quote]So no chance of any tips then, well apart from "never take kids to Fréjus"Never did like it much there myself, in the summer it takes over an hour to getaway from the beach and travel 10kms back to the campings !!

Dick Smith Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 In St Raphael and Fréjus there were Provençal flags flying, and the town signs were in two languages - presumably Provençal as well? Is that different from Langue d'Oc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miki Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I always thought that Provencal and Langue d'Oc were really one and the same to a certain degree.Our appartment was in Osco Manosco (Provencal, and a lovely reasonbehind the name) or Manosque (French) but Provencal and Langue d'Oc arenot strictly the same and have variational differences.I am sure someone will know more but I do remember the elders in our old village, sure were hard to understand with sangk frarnks and other hard sounding pronunciations of the French language, let alone Provencal !!
