Oh! Naughty you, missing out a circumflex!! You would be shot in France for that --- NOT. TC
Je peche pour les petites truites dans les petits lacs des montagnes, and blow the circumflex!! Vivre les mouches et les moustiques. Ca Va?? And if the French is wrong I don't care, cos not all French people can spell properly, they are just like us.

Can't be bothered finding the accents on a Qwerty keyboard! Although I'm not too sure that I would cheer on mosquitoes in any language!

merci !

I think that the need to learn the "lower " languages is a bit of a waste of time I suggest that when you go to the snail eating republic next use the following approach....

"Is there any fly fishing round here old love"...... Spoken in a loud and slow voice carefully almost spelling out the words whilst looking at the gaelic cousin in a manner that suggests you are talking to a naughty school child,,,

If my labrador can understand , "go find your lead" and "give me your paw" then I cant see why there would be a problem...
