Tango

We were planning a trip to Pete's place, but it's now looking like he's going to move to the Netherlands, knowing that no one in their right mind wants to ride a bike there!

Apparently the UN Atomic Monitoring Agency has lost contact with 2 other nuclear power plants in Ukraine too! Looks like Putin intends to turn Ukraine into a radioactive desert!

Lol. I use it all the time. Even translated the contracts into English when we bought our house! It's actually fairly accurate too, unlike Google translate!

I quite like the French. Everyone we've met here so far have been really friendly.

I do get that a little bit here, but the majority don't speak English, so I've got to learn French to communicate. Pretty basic at the moment, but I'm working on it.

Many French from other regions don't like Parisians. I used to work with a French guy from Normandie and he hated them! BTW, this is a good and free translator that's certainly more accurate than Google translate. https://www.deepl.com/translator

Tu es is the informal/friends and family, whereas Vous êtes is if it's more formal. Just in case you're interested.

Sounds like the brothers in My Big Fat Greek Wedding!

The French are buggers for this. It follows certain patterns except for the times it doesn't, which seem to be fairly random! And then you get into the tenses, when again, they make it up as they go along! Considering how many shared words there are between French and English it should be easy!

Mandy's Audi Q2 has averaged about 52mpg so far, but we're hoping her new car will be even better.

Although I've not done too much on the Triumph yet, it's showing 3.9l/100km so far, which isn't bad for 900cc!

Thanks, Bob. It's at the top of the castle that's in my photo for BOTM this month. The town is Gruissan, which is about 20 mins from my place.

Well, it was a pretty successful weekend entertaining our friends. The weather held for us, but it was a bit windy. Had a nice meal at our local restaurant on Saturday evening too.

Maybe the 90mpg CB500X wasn't so bad after all?

My missus fitted a set of these to her Triumph Speed Four when she had it. They were just the job!

Nice one, Bob. I used to go to Porton Down for one of my old jobs. Used to see a bit of activity around there at times! The first time I saw armed police was at the gates of the CDE, at that time the general police weren't armed!
