You're so thoughtful Eva...
I try, Joe. I try. :wink:
By the way, don't forget. It's jacket and tie.
which I am never without, of course...
I'm wearing mine now even tho I havn't been out of bed for five minutes...
If Casino Joe gets to go to Monte Carlo...
I'M GOING WITH HIM!

...after all, he doesn't speak any French and I do!
Bbbut...I just gave him French lessons, courtesy of Joe Nation!!
(throws up hands in exasperation)
Okay, we will all go. We can take the TGV from Paris to Nice, or catch a $75 flight (it's cheaper AND faster.)
...anyway,
Did I tell you it was hot?
It was sooo ******* hot! When I got back to the UK, I noticed that the
the blouse I wore that day: a pleasing little number, it was a white peasant blouse ('cos I am) with strawberries on, just showing a little 'spillage' and my tanned (bright red) decelatage. I felt it struck that essential balance between la virgin and la wanton slut. It's a look I aim to perfect each morning when dressing for the Jobcentre. Also being elasticated, it was great for pulling down at opportune moments in mixed company and saying "you likee meester?".
Of course I made the last bit up... and have NEVER behave in such a manner. But that blouse always made me want to...
Je suis digress.... when I got back to the UK, the hooks and eyes down the front (it had basque type fasteners) had all gone black with smorg-sweat! Eeuw! How un-sexy is that?
Blimey! All that about my blouse... but does it give you some idea of how hot and humid it was?
Now me skirt:
It was a pleasing, red linen skirt....
Smorgs and Jane try to keep cool
Funny, I didn't know wandeljw played the harp.
The skirt is cute, but I like the blouse better, smorgs. Hope it washes up nicely. If not, do what I do in such weather. I pack several scoop-neck knit tank tops that can be easily stretched from a modest no-cleavage-at-all shape down to almost the navel. Just in case any interesting scenarios happen to come my way, you understand. You never know.
They work great over a swimsuit, too. A few weeks ago I was in the Caribbean and forgot my suit was still wet when I pulled one on. When I got back to my room, I realized what all the stares in the lobby bar were about. I could have won their wet T-shirt contest if I'd waited 'til that evening.

I'll have you know I came 3rd in my class at secondary school in French back in 1973 [0r 4] so I might surprise you!
I doubt it, but I might!
Je suis un blackjack...
La roulette table [pronounced tab-lay]. Tres bein!
Wouldn't that be TAH-bluh, Joe?
I've got the accent down, just not the words.
...AND, when we were in the restaurant, I asked the man if he could tell I was not Parisian...
smorgs - "'scusez mois le chuck, can you tell mois is not from Paree?"
Frenchman - "Why, of course!"
smorgs - "but how, mois is the epitome of le sophisticatione"
Frenchman - "It's your complextion, the way you dress and your tin hair"
smorgs - "TIN hair?"
Frenchman - "French women have tick hair, look"
The Frenchman began pointing out various 'Catherine Deneuve' type women, who strangely didn't seem to be sweating as much as me or Jane! Feeling aggrieved, as I had spent most of the morning taming my wild, la THICK, lustrous mane of golden locks into a sensuous cascade of SILKY blondeness!
smorgs - "I can assure you - MUSHURE, that my hair is not THIN! And in Manchester, I would look French!"
I then shook mois tresses for emphasis, which was SO THICK, it provided momentary aircon for the restaurant...
... then carried on rusting my fasteners!
That comment haunts me still, I do NOT have thin hair! And if anyone says it again...they will get les tete kicked in! Mancunian Diplomatique!
I betcha he meant FINE hair.
McT (Ever the gentleman)
It is NOT FINE! McTag...
Prepare to die!!!!

Oh! Okay then...
I'll let you off!
Have you seen those Porn sites on unanswered?
Yeah, I went to "New Posts" and I thought WTF......
The Thought Police will take them out soon.
Are the men from France really romantic or is this just a mythe?
They are not so much more romantic...
They are 'smoother', more charming, and the accent is asscociated with sexiness. They have a way of talking to women... even the French vagrants make 'give me some money' sound like "madamoiselle, come into the bedroom and let me lick your inner thighs".
Although having said that - We met a 40 year old American business woman (more later) who assured us that BRITISH (I repeat) BRITISH men were the best in bed, and MUCH better than the Americans!
The French(men) are not more romantic... just that 'le bullshit chat up lines' sound better in French - they are just different.
Viva la difference!
Damn! I guess I'm la **** out of la luck hoping Frenchy is naturally romantic.
