The New French Forum

It's actully a very common sight in France, cars going past you on the autoroute ( motorway for you non French speakers :lol: ) with the passanger bare footed and feet on the dashboard.
It did not end well for someone who tried that in the UK and was involved in a crash.

No dictionary required, just thought associations.

Eg: torture => chamber => maid => maiden => over etc.

Over to you.

Maybe in creating this topic there will be those who can contribute to talk about what's on French TV and if someone else creates a topic called English television the same thing can happen regarding English TV, because at the moment there isn't a section of the forum where one or the other can be discussed except in The Café.

Anyway, does anyone...

The other night I posted, on a forum, a fact about internet access in Spain. It was totally made up by me in the spur of the moment as a tongue in cheek response to another poster. 34,500 people to date have read my fact and over 200 have interacted with it including 77 who liked it. Not one single solitary person has questioned the veracity of...

Perhaps this could fly the 737 MAX safely?

I was given the task to jump into Lidls for fresh salmon and Mozzarella cheese.
Easy you think, just two things to remember, I can normally do that.
Its American promo sort of food Week at Lidls.
Came out with the salmon, but picked up chicken, smoked salmon, ham, American Cheese cake and American chicken sort of nuggets.
She asked did you remeber...

Evidently there are a couple of French Chefs, restaurateurs, who have been living and working in the UK for many years, refused residency after Brexit, who knows what tit for tat retaliation that will incur. Cancel the extension for now.

Ever increasing, to me the annoying habit of people starting of a sentence with the word SO, do they think it sounds intellectual or something??

There was a thread on FE about the advert for almost free insulation of your attic. You pay upfront but you get all the costs back.
There was a program on M6 tonight, I just caught the tale end of it. Looks like its not straight forward getting your money back if at all depending on who you use. No surprise there then :roll:

Despite the title, the English version of Maraboutdeficelle :D As it's (roughly) the native language of the forum, minimum THREE last letters of the previous word to make a new one.

Our mairie has sent out a page sized notice announcing that bonfires are banned.
I know this has been on the statute book for several years but generally ignored.
We live in the middle of nowhere. We have a large orchard.
Suggestions for dealing with the annual pruned wood, fallen trees please.
My thoughts so far. Dig up the orchard which is 400...

The cat got it's injections today and is booked in to get it's bits done next month.
We are reading conflicting stories on google.
Male cat owners out there, did you neuter?
It's a lovely gentle kitten just now.
Pros and cons please.

Anyone else having problems with this site the last couple of days? I can't get anything up, no matter what address I put in.

3900 sqm of land, detached house with second guest house 20sqm but cute. Garage,150 year old oak tree and 3900sqm of land. Almost habitable.
We had been trying to view this for a few days but Frenchies had arranged viewings before us but thought there was too much work.
The roof is water tight, kitchen and bathroom...

How about a game? Take the last two letters (minimum) of the previous French word to make another. Proper names OK. Strict rules, though. No phonetics, no cheating or else Nurse Ratched will be round with the syringe! :shock:
Allons-y......
GOUVERNEMENT

Anyone else having trouble today with Orange e-mails? All the other e-mail providers are working fine for me but Orange keeps saying not connected to the internet. Not the first time and usually it happens at weekends.

I went to pay my tab at the bar and said to Lionel deux bierres . Cedric at the the end of the bar said, mimicking my accent, or not deux bierres followed by 4 or 5 voices including mine say zat is the question .
I suppose you had to be there.

I asked Sally if she fancied a takeaway.
She said Are you talking Chinese?
I said No, why? Did I sound Chinese?

For some reason I was thinking of plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose instead of the english equivalent.
We 2 nations probably have many other examples of shared concepts. Differences too. Any more examples?
eg I think there's a french equivalent to Ne'er cast a clout till May is out .
Also having green fingers .

Good news for British pensioners in the EU.
