B Dobson Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 It sure is lovely in that France isnt it? We were there again this year and we are busy planning a possible early visit next year to meet some friends . I might keep a diary on here about my stay if thats possible as one or three valuable members seemed really interested in my last visit . Talking of France I do believe there is a footie game tonight England United v France in Qatar . My money is on France to win 3-1, who do Scotland play in the other quarter final?

This is my favourite French town on the Cote D'Azur Think I've been they barryd999 . Drove through on the way to a French cheese market at Aldi this year . Hope you have a nice time in the village hall finally meeting the neighbours, might be an excuse to have an early bath n'all rather than waiting till new years eve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barryd999 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I wonder why that word in my post was censored. It was the R word as in Raaaacists! I was told by an old member on here who moved to Outer Mongolia that my village was Raaacist because everyone is white and there is no overnight parking for motorhomes unless you are local (and white). Im trying to address that by supporting France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it must have come on leaps and bounds if they now have two Greggs shops. The Rat and Ratchet doesn't sound very French though. Not many people know Greggs originated in France. I fancy a pasty now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recipe was stolen by a Cornish pirate known as "Tarquin the Limp", he captured a French cabin boy called Barry BottyTotty from Calais who was also a cook, his signature dish was Pomme & Mince Anglais.

Dont think Ive mentioned this before but me and Barney lived in that France for a while this year . Hope you enjoyed your pasty but do remember once on the lips forever on the hips Barryd999, I think youve forgotten that a time or three before .

"Barry Botty Totty" sounds like a made up name or some transgender character from a JK Rowling novel to me . Are you sure that story is factual Barry Lineker?

Yes I'm sure it's correct as the story has been passed down the generations to me, although Mr "P" said never to mention it or I'll become a target of the Cornish mafia, who have made their fortune from pasties. As the legend goes, a person called Barry Gregg who was Tarquins favourite in the harem of "Barry Botty Totty" pretended to be his "Patsy" which is why they got the name Pasty, it was just a simple 16th century typo.

Barryd999 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Im not sure it was the French who invented the Pasty. I remember the Prime Minister a few years ago (before he was Prime Minister so maybe it doesn't count) promoting the "Pasty of independence" in that Cornwall. I think he believed if we voted for Brexit we would be the only people in the world allowed Pasties and allowed to eat them. Here he is here promoting it with one of his chief supporters at the time Antony who used to be a member on here for a lot of years before he emigrated to Outer Mongolia to a multiracial peace camp to worship and play the Bongos.

I see you are using the latest 21st century "IT" gadgets and propaganda ie Brexit to deflect from the truth and cover up the real reason behind your recent trip to Cornwall. As it was to connect with your relatives. My recent research into the 16th century "BarrieNeuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf" has thrown up some very interesting results. Unfortunately it means I will never be able to visit Cornwall or go North of Skegness again. Or see Stone Henge in the same light again😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume Barry Botty Totty had a lot to do with the invention of the sausage rolls n'all and lets not mention the very famous spotted dick he was the inspiration for .

mtravel Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Sorry but I was out (of course with my van) and forgot the OAL password and couldn't log in. Like every year, from December 7th to today it's a kind of your bank holiday, we took a stroll. One possibility was Alsace but the weather forecast announced the possibility of snow and we decided to visit some medieval villages in the Romagna region. This deprived us of the possibility of attending the French celebrations for the victory over England. Not bad, wifi router, tablet and streaming allowed me to watch the game anyway. Great Kane. I was amazed to see this thread abandoned for days, evidently the disappointment was strong. Take comfort, the next championship will be in 2026, just sixty years after your theft. Maybe you can try repeating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this period it is enough for us to have won the European championship. At Wembley with Bozo Joker attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me I was very saddened to read of the death of Paulo Rossi in 2020 . He came back from a 2 year ban if I remember to win the World Cup for Italy in 82, top scorer in the tournament if I remember correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
