Opening a bank account


Les the Plumber

Recommended Posts

I saw the title and thought that this thread looked boring, perused something else, saw Miki had posted, still thought it looked boring, saw Dick had posted, still didn't look... but Miki posting again pdq convinced me it must be one of those threads with a boring title but intriguing contents.

Wrong again.

I once had a French closing statement that resembled this thread; it didn't say it was a closing statement but it was blank in all the columns.

You know how to hurt someone Pucette.

Dick and I feel pretty put out by the boring bit so much so, that Dick has gone off for a pint of Xmas Pudding and I will be settling for my last bottles of dogs b********s.

Bonsoir et bonne santé

OK, let's put it to Les himself. I am with TU, warm milk is no good for sniffles.

Les, would you say, by looking at Dick's avatar, that he was a warm milk or a pint of Xmas pudding kind of feller ?

If you answer that we promise to answer your question on opening a bank account. Well when the words arrive of course !

Not much to discuss really Dick, tell him to stand at Calais, at the weekends especially and watch us European Brits flocking in to Eurocity to gather up the European stocks of wine, fags, cheese and pate.

Not European eh, well until the USA can offer us better pond crossing rates and cheaper wine etc, we will rest as Europeans I reckon..

Hang on there a darn moment though, the USA does do cheap booze and cheaper crossings than B.F....he might have a point Dick

Mmm, I'd rather have a hot toddy if I was sniffly, or elderflower tea... does this dogs ******** beer really exist?

Can you get London Pride in France? Or Spitfire?

Yes, DB is made by a small brewery, Wychwoods.

 Never seen London Pride in France, in fact I don't think I have sever seen any of the Fullers products over here. As for Spitfire I couldn't say. It might be possible that Mr (Beer himself) Smith has them in his warehouse in Calais, anyone know?

 

This was on the net :-

Dogs ********

Real Ale, 5.2 percent Alcohol 

For the hair of the dog,
There is no better cure
No pedigree, this ale, just
Golden and Pure
This hooch is no pooch
Just sup it and see
Like a hound with two
tails a wagging you'll be!

A full bodied hoppy, golden coloured brew. Stygian hops from Slovenia are combined with wheat to give this beer a burst of fruit flavours.

Sounds wonderful, my mouth is watering; I have plenty of homebrew in the cellar but it isn't that good...

Ahh, it was the mention of amber-coloured hoppiness, not the poetry... I have been inspired to get some of Pucette's Pride out, a rare treat, I'd forgotten it was so good... would have my tail wagging if I were a dog... as it was the dog sniffed the empty glass, looked at me, curled up and started snoring... his way of saying "Pucette will be good for nothing after that" methinks.

Just thinking about it happening chez vous made me laugh out Pucette

Les, if you are still following this advice about banking, wave, or nod even, or like old Auntie Hilda, give us a sign or something, getting a little worried that you have been swallowed up by the French banking system, along with Dick's 0's ............

Sainsbury's in Calais - always worth a stop when travelling back (from the UK that is )

Mmm, much too far for me for a pint, I'm in 24 and think that 50km is a Long Way... the longing wore off with the homebrew anyway, remembered that I don't drink it because it's too strong, it's quite decent. Although it might just seem that way because I haven't had anything decent for years... which comes to the same thing.
