Fantastic Skiing trip but returned to find the antifoul has not applied itself so that this afternoons job.
Launching Thursday.

Coming through Customs was asked if I had packed the car and if I had packed the cases etc.
I was able to respond truthfully to both that I had. It made me wonder how Para goes on if he ever goes off on his own anywhere, him having Mrs Para to do that kind of thing...
Regards

Harrumph ... now who forgot his passport and the gendarmerie were less than amused? Brian thought your offence deserved incarceration. I think I saved the day by turning up with the entire St Vaast mussel catch .... les Roast Boeufs knew how to eat and drink, too

What a load of old tea towel. The truth of the matter is that we plead leniency on yer behalf. An instant hit when we started calling you Tintin. The clincher was when the Gendarmerie's dog went straight tae the kit of the wee man and started wagging his tail furiously whilst tearing a tunnock's cream snowball apart.

Erm, Rennee? Most would take the plane tae ski in France but whit a cool dude poser wi yer skis oan ra roof rack orra yer Audi Quattro TT, la cooler ees hairdressers national federation compliant?

Ah how time distorts recollectshuns, ma memory was of shopping in M. Gosselins when Brian hotfooted it from the boat gasping "Douglas is in trouble, come an rescue him!"

The issue was the colour of the fuel, not that cheapskate Dougie had red diesel in there , nope it was Paraffin Blue .. and the Douane had never seen the like before and were convinced the craft was a UDA bomb to blow up the papish basque clad denizens of Madame Fifi's, after much talk, stressing the value of ra auld alliance I managed to convince them it was actually red diesel that had changed colour cos it was so friggin cauld .. and they let you go.
