Ah need it mesel Jo - Ulster/Scots or Coleraine/north Antrim isnae exactly English hie! I have til speak in a false posh very precise English accent for the few French, here in the wild north (ither than the missus) that speak English to unnerstan. I lived for a few years in University Avenue, Belfast, in a shared house with a load of studendts, and even more Polish workers. Love the Poles, but never again will I try to out drink em. Had to carry several Poles, male and female up the wooden hill, to beddie boes, when they passed out (sometimes I won!). Bon weekend et joyeux Noel, if don't comment before Chrimbo. Hope you and the wee man have a wonderful Christmas Jo. To use the royal we, my wife and I are now grandparents to our first little bon homme, Cyrille Junior. Course only 2 months old, but spoilt rotten by the aul farts - I'm working on teaching him to blow raspberries, like me nefs and nieces before. Everybody needs a crazy Irish uncle or aunt (they call me wife ta ta [a diminuation of auntie] Tomate - auntie Tomato (long story), and decided I'm Oirish, so I'm Ton ton patate (Unca spud)!) Party on dudette. Calins et bisous. xoxo
