gotta love our nearest neighbours.

they invented tea, burgers and punk rock so they must be good!

i think to post pictures you need to do it the old fashioned html way. basically do this, except replace the “(” and “)” symbnols with “”.

and bob’s your unc.le.

d’oh—it deleted my symbols.

this is hard. look up a basic html guide. basically you type the expression except with “greater than” and “less than” symbols instead of brackets.

i give up. i am doomed to picture failure!

you got it right except you need to enclose what you just wrote with those “greater than” “less than” symbols that appear between your “M” key and your “?” key.

oh i see. i am so thick sometimes. can’t see the wood for the trees. i love that phrase!

HAHAHA! i did it. so shut up all you doubting mo-fo’s that thought i didn’t have it in me, that questioned my commitment and ambition, all you doubters were wrong!!!

(cheers for that wogan—may the downpour of pictures begin)

darraghmac did you go to paris?

jergins and i are going there at christmas.

ou est darraghmac, il a disparu.

hi hi

I was in toulouse and narbonne, perpignan, the pyrenees, carcassonne but not paris this time, tho it’s the foreign city i’ve visited the most in the past (i take a girl there if i like her at all, and take her back if i really like her).

Have you ever been? It’s magical.

je n’est pas disparu j’etais french for busy

tu as été occupé.

if we don’t buy a house in the next 6 months, we are going to paris next spring!!!

xp ya well we could all just have gone and looked it up, couldn’t we?

I, personally speaking, would just buy the house in paris tbh

i never have been!

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Three weeks pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

i suddenly might be going in february, quelle surprise!

mon dieu! pourquoi, ma cherie?

f. might be doing some contract work in europe in jan and if so i’ll join him at the end for a vacation.

i studied french for 9 years and have never used it yet, i’lve probably forgotten most of it apart from basic things like ‘ you have been busy’.

voulez-vous couchez avec mon canard? is my only remaining french phrase. it is not very useful.

is there a better phrase for milkshake than lait-frappe?

we had a french exchange student at our school and my best friend and i used to speak to her in really, really fast english using long and obscure words and then she would hit us<3

i didn’t know lait-frappe, it is nice.

this is a new & sinister development imo
