Mmmm…mmmm…mmmm… so was I.

Sadly, I only saw the list after I had ordered my coffee. I think you’d mentioned you were coming to France soon - are you sure you don’t want to change your booking for Portugal?

Not on that one! I think he exaggerates a lot of things, namely the potential sexual prowess of his fictional protagonist in his other series of books… but he’s right on the mark with that one, perhaps even understated!

So Stephen Clarke isn’t exaggerating?
We actually have dispensers with plastic bags in some walking places. Then again , you have to have the right attitude to use them. Glad I’m a cat owner!

Being a non coffee drinker I was totally impressed with the array of Hot chocolate beverages. What country was that again?

Val, it’s not just when you were a child! Even a few years ago I found myself (on the request of others!) ordering the same thing - except the “luxury” of scraps costs a lot more than sixpence!

Urgh! The batter looks so thick.
It reminded me of my days growing up as a child in England and a special supper treat was to go the local fishshop and ask for sixpence worth of scraps. The scraps were in fact scraps of batter! I’m amazed I’m still alive.

Better not tell El Rubio about that one in the future, Naranja!

Nothing wrong with playing with your food! I remember convincing three of my friends that the meal we had just made (mash and some stew thing) should be devoured only using our mouths and with no use of fingers and cutlery. It was a messy and fun affair, I to preserve my reputation I better tell you as well that it was in my teens.

Liz, I don’t know how exactly I could answer that… (certainly not if it was French television…)

Ok I’m in a fairly dense place (jet-lag!) but…doesn’t this imply that (at least to an Anglo reader) watching TV would be better than sex with a Frog? And guillame bought this to your attention?
