WE did Aeneid Book 8 where Venus sets about seducing Vulcan to make Aeneas some armour. Terribly sexy for 13 year old boys....and very instructional!

Anyone remember Gerard Hoffnung and his letters from Tyrolian hoteliers? Look on Youtube for "Gerard Hoffnung - French Widows".

What's all this "French A levels" this, and "Latin Studies" that!

We had to make do with failing woodwork and geography, and being told to stand outside the door, for RE!

I sometimes think I'm the only one on here with an inner city comp "education"... not that any of you would have noticed, if I hadn't have mentioned it!   





Oh... And I've just googled the bint from Nantes... I've never read such filth!!

I thought my “shopping” French was OK, until I paid goodness know how many Euro for 1.5kilo of Comte cheese..........I wanted 0.5kilo! 😳

Enjoyed it though. 😀👍

Once ordered a large (1 litre) of German Lager (weib pronounced vice) and was promptly served two large lagers so I felt obliged to sit there and drink two litres of beer. Hardships ........

They really should teach you stuff you might actually need to know in school French. I too did A level French in 1990 but a few years ago in France our car starting making weird noises and I had to try to communicate with a small local mechanic who didn’t speak any English as we were in a little village in the middle of nowhere. I definitely didn’t have the vocabulary for that! Then, a few years later my husband’s crown fell off (his tooth, we’re not posh enough to have the head sort) and I really struggled explaining things to the local dentist. She let me struggle on for about 5 minutes before telling me in beautiful English that she had lived in Edinburgh for 3 years! Still, school French did not prepare me for most of the difficulties I have experienced in France.

I know a limerick where the punch line involves a young woman from Nantes and la plume de ma tante.
However it is far too filthy for a board such as this.




If only we could figure out the petite bit? I’m thinking the ink-well?
