Re:French Without Tears
I thing you will find that should be Son gare - pas Sa.
However I am happy to converse with you. You are the one who has made a friends with the one called Claymore recently who I think is an admirer of your young wife? My own wife is not so young - and you are also the once who lives in Irelande - that is a beautiful countrie - I have been in Cork many times over the years but I do not understand how you drink the guines - it is like a meal, so thick - comme consomme!!
I am sorry not to have written to my new friends sooner but although retired I have many interests which have to take first place some times.

Tu parle?
Vraiment, c'est 'sa gare' (or is it c'est la guerre?).
But the Guines (sic) 'comme consommee'? I think you will find this is a description of the Scottish beer (le quatre vingt shilling).
I am happy to be described as the friend of Claymore, an honourable man despite his comments regarding my wife - who, I have to say, unfortunately, seems rather pleased by them.
If your barque is in Lough Swilly, let me know.
Sorry to hear your wife is not so young, and that you have interests which take first place sometimes. C'est la vie.

Re:French Without Tears
Or as they more commonly say in France "Il pete plus haut que son cul..."
I think the poor capitaine has been shaken a little too much inside his barque to the extent that he gets his genders wrong. And not to like Guinness, that is the final straw - especially as Guiness gets its name from the town of Guinnes outside Calais. Another Norman conquest?

Hm. I see. Perhaps we should get together and discuss this over a couple of pan-galactic gargleblasters.

Re:French Without Tears
Rene. It is good that you are once again joining in the meaningful, or as you say signicatif, discussions of our forum. In the wake of the unhappiness between our Prime Minister Blair and your President Chirac, it is more important than ever that the people of our two great nations should maintain the intercourse of mutual admiration and respect that has always characterized our relations. On the subject of intercourse, you should be careful of the one called Claymore, he is, as you have no doubt already discovered, a letcherer by profession, and is unlikely to be deterred by the superannuated nature of your own wife! I, like many of your new furum friends, look forward to "playing with you in the beautiful waters of France". Indeed, I am hoping that it will not be too long before I am crossing the English Channel (or as you prefer to say "Chenal Angleterre") and will look forward to seeing la belle "Barque Surcouf".
Au revoir mon ami.
Please forgive the discourtesy of communicating in my own language, but I fear that my French is not up to the fine standard of your English, and, as you will have noticed, many of my forum colleagues are very quick to "faire la critique"..

And John, how do you become a Sybarite? I thought it was like a Carmelite until the other day. Sounds fantastic: 'a devotee of the sensual vices'. Can anyone join?

Very exclusive club - but I will accept reasonable contributions to open it up.
Oh and "cowly owl" = "vachement chouette" comme disent les froggies.

Re:French Without Tears
My dear friend StugeronSteve, I am honoured to receive your felicitations. You make me proud of my Parents who had the wisdom to send me to the private ecole of M. Martin who was an English Lady of the aristocracy and taught me your native tongue.
I did not explane very well but regrettably Madame Tremblere is not herself with the pain of aches in her bones. I am a man of considerable loyalty and so would not stray to the bed of my lover - no matter how hard I find this to not do.
You speak of the one who is called Claymore as if he is a philanderer - and yet I think this cannot be so for all the time he engages in strange talk with his friends about the talk of boys behaviour - surely English ladies - or should I say Scottish - are not charmed by such behaviour?
You are of course welcome in my country - we call your channle the Manche - not as you describe - but if you are to view my beautiful barque Surcouf then you must travel west my friend until you have passed St Malo - for we are Breton - a proud race and not unlike your Cornishmen I understand?
If you journey to this country of the coloured granite - a land of deep in legend and the proud heritage of our seamens past - speak of Surcouf to the old men on the quays and I will find you.

Re:French Without Tears
You dreadful man. I have met frenchmen and they are all rude arrogant selfish swine. Yes I mean swine with all its teutonic connotations. You eat horses, shoot swallows and piss in the streets. Honour, pah .. the closest you lot have come to honour is when one of your Italian neighbours visit. As for your wine, it is all vinegarish and surpassed even by the poor peasants of Chile. Away and dine on your frogs legs and raw mince .. I hope you choke on it.

Re:French Without Tears
What have I done to cause such a tirade? You have the advantage of me and being a man of honour I apologise and withdraw immediatement all statements which have gone before to have caused the offense of a respected member of the forum. I feel it is a privelege to be allowed to converse with fellow voileurs across the Manche and do not wish to be the cause of any friction.
I hope you are now pacified by my withdrawal.
I will not respond to the majority of comments you have made, nor stoop to exchange insults with you - indeed much of what you say is true - we French do not have the inhibitions which our English cousins are infected with - our manner of relieving ourselves in the street - though not so common now - is a demonstration of this freedom. True - we eat horse - mais un baguette de cheval is formidable - and so much better than all the fast food american junk which your country has so readily adopted- this we see as a nation looking hard for to have a culture. Of course we French have our culture and it is something of which we are proud.
Our wine you may not like - you are free to choose - I would suggest that for all you prefer the wines of Chile- which is perhaps a reflection of your own immature palate - to sit with and talk with the old men along the quay and to drink the strong vin rouge of the peasants is to sit in the company of the men of the heavens and to drink the blood of the Lord.
You also have things which we French do not understand and it would be of geat assistance to me if you could explain one aspect of your English ways. I talk of Morris Dancing - is there enlightenment you could give?
In closing - as I have a busy day ahead on my beautiful barque Surcouf, I hope I have restorated relations between us and that I may count you as mon ami?
