You could say that, it's kinda his specialist subject... However did you guess? He's my Dad. He's now 82 so the more money he makes now...

anybody got any proper trips planned for this year? I know @boboneleg has a good plan for a French trip this summer. Im thinking about more than the usual or regular day trips. @Specs ? another trip to equal the Nordkap saga? anyone else attempting the North west 500 or whatever they call it? I might have a 4 day trip on the cards for April but it depends on so many factors at the moment thet it's still on hold untill I know more. Otherwise I have 2 weeks off in first half of september but nothing planned yet, still looking for inspiration...

France runs 220v, mostly between 8 and 13 amps. At work I have 16A. but most professional or industrial installations are 3 phase, so at work I run ( for example) the power outlets on the port with 3 outlets one on each phase, but then I also have one 3 phase socket on each post which gives 380v. Don't ask me how they get 380 from 3 x 220, I'm a complete numpty at electmatrickery.

When I'm out with bro in law ( locked in syndrome, just about manages to pilot his lectric wheelbarrow... sorry, wheelchair ) people often ask if I'm his carer. their attitude towards him changes subtley when I tell them I'm actually his bodyguard... It also cracks him up which is hilarious cos he doesn't control his mouvements well when he's laughing and ends up running into stuff

probably why you fit in so well...

indeed, but he is being rude so by using the "Tu" from he is signifying his refusal to use the "vous" as that would imply respect. I learnt my french originally from a french Bike club, and still sometimes have to be careful in polte company

good luck with it Pete. It'll put the kybosh on the NL gig for the timebeing though I guess?

Canadian French is to french what Chaucer is to English... language from the 14th century. I believe they can pretty much understand Cajun french too.

"Americans are the international pirates of language and, as such, should be hung, en masse, from specially strengthened yardarms" I just can't remember who the quote is from

erm... the one place she doesn't want to go to learn English, is the US.

wondering which of the two accents is easier to understand... probably Eninburgh too

Why I would be asking for advice from you lot I have no idea, but here goes; N01 daughter has been given the opportunity to study in the UK for 6 months next year at some point. We were hoping that Warwick was oing to be an option cos I have family not too far away which is always reassuring, but she has been offered Liverpool or Edinburgh, either of which I know vey little about having only visited either of them by boat for a 24h stopover. Anybody any toughts or suggestions?

The one bonus of having children old enough to drive!

any corroberating sources? I have no clue who the person posting that is and she doesnt cite her sources, the fact that it is not in the mainstream media is not in itself a proof of reliability. I dont trust the mainstream media either by the way as they all without exception have their own agenda and bias which dictates their interpretation of events.

maybe I'm confusing it with tiktoktwat or whatever it's called.

great pics Yen, that first one is a corker!

Nope But I know all the professional Youtoobers are desperate for us all to follow them on twitter as well as sign up for their U-teube channels and I'm damn certain they wouldn't bother if they didn't make money from it. there's already been a plethora of fake photos and info on farcebuke so why should twatter or slapcat or any of the other social media plateforms be any different?
-
OH FFS! the worse the news the more likes and followers you get, the more money you can make. make stuff up, fuck it if it makes me money its good right?

stop watching the bloody news, their income increases with viewing figures and those figures increase with fear and angst. That is a basic conflict of interest, tell the truth factually and honestly or earn more money and prestige by embellishing it with menace and threat using words like " violate" "threatened" and "repercussions".

great pics there Fred
