The Hornet's Nest

Can't do them anymore, back to work now

 

Back into waiting mode in departure lounge.......again!

 

Have some proper guiness for me Leo and have a great time!

 

Morning all

Bright and sunny here. Grass being mown in the field opposite. Older daughter about to buy a house near Narbonne so visits to south of France could become more frequent from later in the year.

 

Northern Ireland for the Milk Cup by any chance?

 

AFTERNOON ALL... ooops sorry for shouting, my my the decor's changed since I was last here. A pint of the black stuff to celebrate our two new signings!

 

Enjoy the break in Ireland with your good lady Leonardo, hopefully you will still be able to keep up with all things WFC. If you cannot I am sure the new Mods will take care of the place in your short absence!

 

Mme. has just reminded me that it a holiday today, and that there will be a carnival atmosphere in the nearby town with food, beer tents and fireworks.

It seems strange that twice in one week she should guide me towards ale.

 

Its a tragedy , they have closed the hotel bar for the summer

will be working 7am -5pm (maybe more,probably more oh ok definitely more) Dan you have the late shift for next week and half , I will keep an eye on the comp at work and evenings

 

****in stupid if you ask me! Frenchie , I have complained bitterly , they offered me pay tv for free and seemed offended when I said that I dont want to watch porn I want a bloody drink!!

 

The festivities are going well in the Capital OFH, they started last night according to my Mme the music eventually stopped at 4am She went up to the Champs-Élysées to watch the parade this morning and saw Mr Sarkozy atop his vehicle waving to the crowd. This evening she is going to a walk up to the Eiffel Tower to see what is going on, next year I shall have to book leave and go across for a look myself. She said the best thing she saw today was a naked fireman on top of the Fire Station (near he apartment) playing the ukulele well I hope she was looking at his ukulele

 

Not good Norway, did your company book the hotel?

 

Surely a free hire car to the nearest off-licence would be a solution Norway.

 

I have seen the pictures from Paris, but no fireman was given any coverage. There should be a spectacular fireworks display from the Eiffel tower tonight.

 

Yes its the same one I have used on previous occasions, I have complained ,but apparently its their policy to close the bar in the summer!!!!! I am writing a written complaint and will get ourcompany gaffer to sign it, I think we need a new hotel!!! which is a shame as Ive just got a gold card for this one which upgrades a lot of goodies!!
But no bar is no bar!!! I am holding up under the strain of this with my 3litre box of wine I bought with me

 

Hey N, thats fine by me. I will be around.

 

No such thing as off license Frenchie alcohol has to be purchased at government shops nearest one is about 30k away!
beer can be bought at supermarkets but only up to 6pm!

 

Do you need a Red Cross box?

 

cheers Dan
