    I judge 'dull' on whether or not I could stand to be stuck in a lift with the person for a couple of hours. I'll leave you to decide.

    Interesting point....wouldn't want to be stuck in a lift with someone jumping up and down either. Poor Claude loses both ways....excited or not.:)

    I don't think Mickey Quinn can read. Perhaps someone read it to him.

    When I am in France, I have a job (I know, that's a shock to some of you) in which I act as a "facilitator" for French people learning English. Basically, I go out to lunch with up to 6 French people - usually youngish and in business - and speak English while being fed grotesquely expensive food. And I get paid for it. It's hell, but someone has to do it.

    Anyway, point is that occasionally I get lucky and there will be a group who speak English sufficiently well to be genuinely interesting. There are times when it's excruciatingly painful and I have to work hard for my lunch. In between, there are lots of dullish conversations. As we leave the restaurant, we usually have a break and speak French for a few minutes. Many of those who have been pretty damned boring in English suddenly become animated when they are speaking French. Surprise!

    I have seen comments about Claude being amusing, witty and generally good fun. I'll take their word for it, rather than the painful experience of seeing him try to express himself in English. At least, unlike Poch, he gives it a go.

    So mange tout, Claude. English is canard.

    You might want to check this interpretation with FLT, the Only Fools and Horses guru :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Ah Only Fools! one of my favourite quotes talking about Uncle Albert and his Navy stories:

    Raquel's dad: "Are you a naval man as well, Derek?"

    Del: "No, I'm a leg man"

    Someone wake FLT up and tell him there's a Only Fools thread underway! I'll stand him a Beaujolais Nouveau 1976

    Actually one of my favourite lines ever from Trigger is when they're discussing what Del & Raquel's baby might be called and Trigger says "If it's a boy they're going to call it Rodney after Dave here"

    I notice that is is next to a billboard showing Pompey's latest striker.

    I caught part of a very long ad on the TV last week. What caught my eye were the handful of Saints "players" running past - I had to pause and rewind as I wasn't sure that I'd seen right, but I had. Turned out to be an ad for Virgin Media :D

    That's the ad with lots of characters and sportsmen running down a cable....I like that one. I wondered if they were Saints players....makes sense as it's Virgin Media.

    Got the wrong end of the stick there. Didn't spot Dusan on the Virgin Media ad.....thought they were implying 'Parker' on the right looked like Dusan.<laugh>

    See people are moaning in the press about no concessions for season ticket renewals. I don't get it....the prices haven't gone up, so what difference does it make. It will be ongoing now with all season tickets costing the same in future seasons I expect, so there may be a theoretical loss then....but so what in the scheme of things. They've introduced more cheap tickets for kids....the next generation....which is an excellent move.
