Prague, anyone? Taking the missus there at the end of the month, never been before, heard good things!

It's great.

Keep well away from District 11.



We don't want home county bell-ends like you pervading our vicinity.

I hear Arbroath is nice this time of year !

thought you'd be off to Croatia mate ?

Went earlier this year mate.
Bit of culture for me this weekend.
I'll be mingling with the French travelling masses at the KC.

should be at least two travelling fans, maybe three !

must win game for both teams and hopefully the Cats will have some players back

do you need any useful french phrases WZ ?

like...'Wos your name darlin' or,

'I know a great little boozer round the corner, fancy a pint ma cherie ?'


one hint for all travellers to France - forget it until september as the roads heading south are jammed !

'Get stripped, you're picked'.

"déshabille-toi, je te veut"

pronounced 'dezzabee twa, jerteveur'

good luck

"Un jambon est un biere s'il vous plait"

Twenty years ago next year me and my brother did our own Tour de Bretagne on bicycles with a tent and the above was the full extent of our French, we didn't even take a phrase book, in fact our kid didn't even take his passport



We survived, but the diet was a bit boring, apart from the beer bit.

the mind boggles JC ! how did you get in and back without a passport BTW ?

next visit ask for "une galette complète et un cidre SVP" - deeelicious !

(nb:cider is the national drink of Brittany and galettes are savoury pancakes)


great place for a holiday though and easily reachable from the UK of course and not too bad this time of year with a good climate and not too many tourists like down south

recommended places in Brittany ? well, Quimper is brilliant and Vannes is good but if you want a more seaside destination go for la Baule which is great for kids - for the more romantic on the forum take the missus to Pornic which is a nice fishing town type place - guranteed leg-over and great fish restaurants

Is it?

not quite, but who cares ?
