  dave's clichés

Just teasing, just teasing ... 29 years in France already, wow!
I am pretty sure my English is not going to be close to your French at all!

Kindest regards, Wim

  
Yeah time flies when you theoretically take a years sabbatical!!

 Again, I thought you were English ...... I can't remember seeing as much as a spelling mistake !!
 For an English speaker French isn't easy,  masculine and feminine nouns and the appropriate grammar to accompany each genre are things that just don't exist in English.
 By comparison English is very straightforward just a little quirky ...... and far more tolerant in terms errors.  ....... see here ......

  The plougher.
   It's rough in a drought ... to plough throughout ..... which wrought nought to the ground .... and bought not a trough ..... thus I sat on a bough ... gazed over the lough .....  sought out to see storms  ... and  to God I besought ..... "Oh Lord,  favour my land" ............... cos if t'was rains you brought ..... I would dreadnought ..... alas he was tough ...... not bringing enough ..... with no dough to make bread  ........ I sobbed overwrought ........ with the plight I was in ......
........... I felt that he ought! 



  As you can see, my "Ough" stanza shows clearly that English is just plain sailing ........
