Bonjour! (the rest’ll be in English)

Patricia · 11-26-2003, 01:22 AM

Bonjour tout le monde!! (hello everybody)

I'm French & I heard there lacked French ppl on this forum...[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]So here I am!! A student in Nantes (France), who loooves Damien's music, and who gets totally barmy when she hears about him/it!

Well, you should see us (my friend Noëlle is a big fan too), singing his songs in my car, going to the university... or even ON the campus!![img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

By the way, is there ANY French fan here [img]smileys/smiley25.gif[/img]

Love (it's always important)

Patricia

Well it was that one or the stereotypical one...

Patricia · 11-26-2003, 12:26 PM

Hey!![img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img]

I want to say for my defense that we DO NOT wear this type of hat any more!!! (alright, I admit that my grandfather does...) [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

The other smiley was a good choice, Spiff, cheers![img]smileys/smiley32.gif[/img]

Patricia (pronounce "à la française": [pa-trrri-si-a]...)

spiff · 11-26-2003, 01:18 PM

Sorry Patrrrrisia, that was the reason I didn't post the smiley with the hat in the first place! I've been to France a load of times and I've never seen anyone in those hats! I do like the bread there though. My apologies for stereotyping the French. Feel free to post an Irish smiley with a guy in a flat cap holding a pint of Guinness if you want!

Bonjour Patricia! (that's about as far as my French knowledge goes hehe)
welcome aboard [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Patricia · 11-26-2003, 02:27 PM

Don't be sorry, Spiff, it was insulting ([img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]) but increeeedibly funny!

I wish I couldfind a drawing representing my vision of Irish people, but you can't show in a picture that they begin all their sentences with "one day, I was totally pissed..."!!![img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

But I have a challenge for you: could you find a little drawing of a female sheep called Daisy (but surely it's not written on her -pink-wool), wearing f***-me shoes and lipstick...? Cause that's part of the image that Irish mates I once had left in my mind!!

Pat

Patricia · 11-26-2003, 02:29 PM

PS: the challenge is open to everybody!!

pps: by the way, MERCI to all of you nice people, for your warm welcoming!![img]smileys/smiley27.gif[/img]

Coralie · 11-26-2003, 02:39 PM

Patricia · 11-26-2003, 03:08 PM

WHAT? [img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img]I missed it as well, but I don't live in Paris, so I'm (kind of) forgivable... But you...! Sorry, I should let the sleeping dogs still, I actually sympathise.

I won't ask why that's the image that comes to your mind when you think of your Irish minds! Here's the best I could find, I do not own one of these (honest!), I just asked google and that's what it came up with. If I ever do find a drawing of a pink sheep in fmb's and wearing lipstick I'll be sure to post it here!

Patricia · 11-30-2003, 05:01 PM

Well done, Spiff! [img]smileys/smiley32.gif[/img]

It is not really what I had in mind, but... It's still a good try![img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

About the reason why I have now this image in mind when talking about irish ppl, don't worry, I won't tell! But you should know that I had then the greatest laugh of my life!![img]smileys/smiley8.gif[/img]

Who knows? If Matthew, Samuel and Denis ever read this, miss you, guys!

Hi!

For those who wouldn't understand "vive la grève", here's an explanation: in 10 to 15 universitites in France, there has been students' strikes for almost two weeks now...
