An englishman in Paris

mercredi, janvier 23, 2008

Against my better judgement and after getting home extremely late tonight, i decided to get a pizza delivered (it's not big, not clever and not healthy i know, but it was damned goooood)

Having placed my order, i had trouble with it being validated.

With each hit on the refresh button i found new and entertaining swear word combinations (all of which containing the 'effff' word, naturally)

It wasn' until i could feel my intestines getting into auto-digest mode when i thought that i should re-read the small print.

Hidden right *there* at the bottom of the page and written in itsy bitsy writing was the phrase "minimum order is 50€"

50€ !!

Stone the crows, that's a ton of money to break out for bleedin' pizza, i was thinking.

I went back to my order, chose a huge plate of antipasti and the most expensive pizza i could see (10€).

I was still thirty euros shy of the fifty needed.

What to do ?

Well, i could see no other solution ...

A bottle of red stuff ...

... and what appears to have been half a crate of beer :)

Hmmoui .. ça peut aller.

Il y a beaucoup trop de travail en ce moment (all work and no play makes jack a dull boy, as we say)

Nahhn, BI Is getting worse ... the boy's a real life toon

You couldn't pay anyone enough money to invent him (l'appeau de Couyé comes to mind)

Have you given up on the blog(s) ?

Yep. But you haven't. I thought youu would. I subscribed you know. But I don't get time to surf the net when I am away and the connection speed is pointless where I have been..faster to walk to Paris.

I'd have huge trouble surviving without a decent connection - i'd go batshit crazy or start doing hard drugs i think ;)

Y'know, traffic's not the be-all and end-all

Got to go supper and la famille are waiting for me. Not beer or pizza malheuresment.

Si un epercurien et un gourmand se battaient .. qui gagnerait ?

Je te l'ai pas dis avant, mais je te souhaite une excellente année 2008 ;@)

Good hope, heart and happiness (dans la texte)

Happiness is not having what you want, but wanting what you have.
