Days in the life of country folk, or, the life, loves, hates and ramblings of a man, one baguette short of a pique nique.

Not only was this semi literate man responsible for government decisions but they then promote him to the house of lords.Take a look (by clicking above) at how his testimony is reported and see if you can understand what he hell he is saying.Unbelievable and very scary.

Thanks to The Languedoc Page Forum I had a go at this.My result is as follows.I'd never really thought of myself as a Ghandi type person. All I need now is a loin cloth!

Corrida

Frankly I'm amazed that it took so long. I've been to several bullfights and I've tried hard to be open minded about it.The spectacle is a process, with each part carefully choreographed, and timed, and with a view to weakening the bull before killing it. Whilst initially it's quite an exciting event because the matador does risk life and limb, when you get to understand what's going on, your heart goes out to the bull and you have to admit that it is cruel and very gruesome.So I'm a convert....

Is it just me, or does anyone else have problems with easyJet flight information'I had an early morning pick up at Montpellier this morning so checked whether the flight from Luton was on time. Not only was there no mention of the flight at all but on the first line it showed a Gatwick to Montpellier flight which was supposed to land at exactly the same time but the arrival information showed it estimated to arrive two hours before it took off. Not only that but the flight doesn't even...

Phew!

God, it's good to be back home.I hadn't realised how much I depended on getting my instructions every morning and my little rewards for doing well throughout the day.I didn't realise how much I missed shouting at the dogs, having been on the receiving end myself.Still, I'll miss my mum who liked to have 'someone around' and she particularly liked me preparing meals for her (I kid you not!).A big thanks to Sainsbury's ready meals department here.

A new find
From A Languedoc Journal, 1 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Whilst buying the ingredients for last nights dinner (let's get this right, you consider a pre-prepared Indian meal an ingredient' - Ed) I came across an Italian wine which I like and which is quite difficult to find.Sainsbury's, who also produced the king prawn puri and chicken jalfrezi, have just started to sell a (Giardini) Falanghina from Puglia. Puglia is the region where mum's from so I thought that it might be a tasty trip down memory lane.No joy. She had never heard of Falanghina or, as...

Strange bedfellows
From A Languedoc Journal, 1 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
What have buffaloes and Formula 1 got in common' Read on mes amis, read on.After a conversation with mum about mozzarella, the other night, I popped into Waitrose to get her a treat. She likes the buffalo mozzarella made by the Italian company Garofalo and Waitrose is where you can get it.Anyway, on the shelf right next to it was a buffalo mozzarella made in England. That's like Parmigiana made in Preston. Kinda weird. I'd vaguely remembered reading something about it and, being something of a...

A good son

As we ate dinner last night mum said, "do you realise that this is the first dinner you have ever cooked."I soon put her right on that one. For a start I'd cooked the night before. (You warmed up a ready made meal! - Ed) I had to remind her that when I was fourteen she buggered off to Italy for six months and, along with trying to be a model pupil, I was left to run the household for me and my father. I shopped, cooked, cleaned, ironed and generally did everything that was necessary for the...

A hidden message

Jan sent me this little story but I'm not sure why. A man, who was watching a football game on television, kept switching channels between the football and a porno movie. "I don't know whether to watch the movie or the football," he said to his wife."For heavens sake just watch the movie," his wife said. "You already know how to play football."
