Missy Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I have just seen this article on the internet.To access it (sorry! cut and paste it on your browser)www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1703696,00.htmlMaybe he'll join the Forum to find out about settling in France!...Possibly buy a château and open up as gites/chambres d'hotes! Any château up for sale near any of you?... Chaps, you'll have plenty to tell him on fosse septique and dry rot and overloaded admin/paper work...Nice to see the Duchess cooking breakfast and dinner, changing beds...!...Any tips for her?

You mean a proper 'cul-terreux' ? with the Gitane-maïs sans filtre au bec and the olfactory assaults ? Wow, cool ! And he likes French music as well ? Re-Wow. Ah, no, sorry, I misread that bit, doesn't like French music after all, not even Mylène Farmer, despite her desperate efforts to be adopted by her namesakes worldwide. Wow, actually, the man's cool, he doesn't like French music, so cool. But he likes our lifestyle, lush markets and le terroir. Well, we look forward to seeing him on TV in La Ferme then, they're always on the lookout for desperate celebrities on the wane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vraititi<P>PSG till I die -fluctuat nec mergitur.<P> Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Isn't Souchon a farmer as well ? Surely, must have a few acres of barley stashed away somewhere ? And you find all his CD's at Auchan before all the others, must mean something. Didier Deschamps was a farmer as well, he was, wasn't he ? (before he played footie). Mike Oldfield, he owned a barn or two at some point, didn't he ? Just being ridicule and facetious really (I am), just like good old Charlie really. Seems to me that everybody and their dogs (well, many toffs) want to be a (rich) farmer or have connections with (poor) farmers these days, don't know what it is, must be the size of the tractors.

Christine Animal Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Yes, the farmers have bigger and bigger tractors for the bigger and bigger fields (with less and less hedges). Trouble is they don't fit on the country roads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
