Pas mal du tout, hein? I've this song also by Patricia Kaas and, obviously, by Jacques Brel.
Brel was the tops. I must download some of his best songs - la Parlote and les Bigotes spring to mind.
Mind you, I like "La chanson des vieux amants" and "Ces gens-là". They talk to the heart.
"Hearts of oak are our ships/ Hearts of oak are our men..." a stirring song from the Royal Marines Band is a good way to start the day. Some however might prefer something more douce.
Douce is a word I saw once on a label which was hanging down the wrong way round off a basque. I thought it a trifle tasteless.
Tasteless as you are, you do inject a quaint Victorian air into the proceedings here. I don't think I'd know what a basque looks like.
Like minded people making poor pub companions. They have nothing much to argue about.
About an hour ago, whilst re-boning a particularly favoured basque. I was wondering if academics had a particular penchant for discipline.
Discipline is a technique applied to recruits and other inexperienced amateurs who need to be shown quickly what is required of them. It is un-neccessary for others although it was noticeable during military training that the disciplinarians seemed to enjoy it which I thought a bit sadistic.
Sadistic Smorgs, naughtily needling Spendius. Spendius unsportingly not rising to the bait. Oo-er, missus.
Missus Tiggywinkle is a flea-ridden hedgehog. I think hedgehogs and badgers are unnecessary.
Unnecessary interjections by colonials on this thread can be dangerous.It is an English phenomenom associated with a proper education although I have seen examples of foreigners attempting to imitate it despite the absence of that milk of human kindness known around the world as the "English Rose" and the sports were not a pretty sight.
"Sight for sore eyes", my gran would always say when she saw me.
Me is not a word I use much. Although I have used it when singing Oh me, Oh my, Love That Country Pie.
Pie-eyed, as usual, he stumbled down the stairs and fell headlong into a vat of watered-down beer.
Pie is naughty but nice. There was a series on British TV about a fat detective with a restaurant called Pie in the Sky, and he was a good advertisement for not eating pie.
Beer is very good for you but if you drink too much you easily become pie-eyed (aka pipped).
