Thanks, as always,
@ComtesseRose you are a rock star. Congrats
@Patriciarella and
@TorontoGWM for the name.
Just done a marathon catchup of the last thread. Everything has gone pear-shaped - himself has tested positive for covid, most inconvenient. To think we came through the pandemic proper, and all the lock-ins... I'm just a tad pissed off. And he's being as miserable as
duck.
@Iolair said... Never heard the expression "dom-toms" before.
DOM-TOM (
départements d'outre-mer et
territoires d'outre-mer).
Now renamed
DROM-COM (
départements et régions d'outre-mer et
collectivités d'outre-mer)
The French lurve a 3 letter abbreviation wherever possible but they will forever be les dom-toms...
I missed all the action last night due to himself being a pain!
@KyBourbon I really didn't need fanny's tits on show three times! However, I think we should adopt this as the official linear measurement for lieland. Just as £50/€50/$50 is fanny's ceiling price... it's so lalande.
I can confirm it's bloody August here and the bloody tourists have arrived, in their droves, and are being a pain in the bloody arse hell bent on pissing off the locals. The number of accidents where the idiot drivers have wrapped their metal boxes around inanimate objects on the motorways and nationals bear witness to this.
It is incredibly windy, but not wet, and we are on the highest fire warning (probably because the bloody tourists have arrived). Because of the strong winds the beaches are inadvisable, unless you are an ancient monument and want to be sand blasted, and the sea is treacherous, the red flag has been up for days. Therefore the bloody tourists are bored and venturing into the hinterland to piss off the locals.
On the upside I splurged on some lovely, fluffy towels for the bathroom - Geant Casino were kind enough to give me a €15 bon when I visited the other day so I thought why not. They gave me another €15 bon this morning so I have another opportunity to splurge next week. Funny, you never hear fanny say that any shop has give her a bon!
