Indeed you may.
Flaubert said that he would rather be thrown into the Seine with a millstone round his neck than be a father and he was no mug.
The Seine is a lot cleaner now.
Flaubert was in-Seine, geddit?
You guys are getting witty?

Do that and maybe I will visit...

Actually, I'm quite surprised Francis didn't correct my bad mistake. The Great Man actually said that he would rather throw himself into the Seine with a millstone round his neck. Which is a long way, and much more emphatic, than what I shamefully said he had said. I remembered in the bath. Like when you're half way up the motorway and the chain-saw says she doesn't remember turning the gas jet off on the big burner.

I will put a bet on tomorrow. Sheffield Utd to beat Manchester Utd.
I will refrain from that myself. If I was of such a mind I would back Chelsea at 5/2 for the Premiership. If the "Reds" are beat by SU they'll get the colliewobblies and those professionals at Stamford Bridge are ruthless.

Well, Francis himself is busy enough with his own mistakes to think of correcting such mild misquotations.
On the other hand I do not feel inclined to become corrector in chief of the British Thread...
Dont mind me, I'm just following francis around.
DP - is that the last fashionable thing to do in OZ? (Posting with my photo).
Haha! shall we all change our avatars to francis's avatar?
I'm surprised I'm so appealing that people would like to look like me...
