Thanks for the explanation. You must live just over the horizon to the south of me, then.

Still waiting for the Americans to pick up the speed hump and run with it, so to speak ...

Welcome to the cellar, where all of your wildest dreams will come true

Hello Buddug,

Welcome also. Welsh you say. But you don't appear to type with a Welsh accent. Are you really of Cymru stock or do you just happen to have set your roots there (I have heard that once past Swansea it is difficult to find one's way back, what with the dragons and all - hence I have tended, myself, to venture no further west than Port Talbot....)

Look forward to conversing with you - yakky da and all that...

Welcome Buddug. Interesting name.

A quiz from the quiz master shall be presented shortly. The answers you provide will be recorded in your permanent record.

Thank you Spexxvet , Beestie and Cyclefrance .

I am Welsh , Cyclefrance , of Welsh stock , and I am a fluent speaker of Welsh too . I have never spoken a word of English to my father in my life !
I do not live in Wales though . I live in France , near the border with Switzerland , Geneva way . I see that you are a Francophile yourself . My husband is French . I will soon be moving to the Caribbean , to the French island of Martinique .

Thank you all again for your welcome .

Hmm...interesting handle. Pagan much, or just in tune with the Warrior Womyn ethos?

In any case, welcome!

Thought I spotted a bit of French in there somwhere - though not the Caribbean patois, I must admit.

My wife is not Welsh - although we do seem to consume a lot of leeks.

Geneva I know reasonably well from working at Reuters for a number of years - also the lake area on the French side - stayed in a nice chateau near Evian a few year's back - will try to dig out the details - haven't visited Martinique but may build it into a little story going on here as the location fits....you may miss the winter snow when you go.....

All the best.

we call that a 'quickie' over here.

I thought those guys called it a "knee wobbler"

The things they do to sleeping policemen .

Kinda makes me wanna join the force.......

SCF!!! how many times do I have to tell you people?? this is a brand new monitor, just installed YESTERDAY, for pete's sake. come on, a little help, ok?

I thought that was some kind of pastry flan with cheese and egg in it...

Seriez-vous un brin donquichottesque , mon cher Cyclefrance ?
