les connards sont arrivés
We have a stag party on the premises, they’re in matching t-shirts and they’re all ugly. Their t-shirts all have some funny joke written on them, although I think the joke will be on them when they realise how far from the centre they are! (I strongly doubt their abilities to work out the night bus timetable!)
The "a" on this stupid computer at fawlty towers has stopped working which means a whole lot of Ctrl+V-ing for yours truly! I should try to write a post without a’s one day, it would be a bit like when Adrian Mole decided to write a book with only consonants…
I enjoyed the film Venus, I think it suited the brooding mood I was in last night. Leslie Phillips and Peter O’Toole really brought a smile to my face as they compared pills and danced around to Dvořák in a church in London - other parts of the film upset me. Maybe my understanding was just too superficial. Jodie Whittaker is bloody gorgeous though!
Can’t find “connards” in my dictionary but I feel it’s a word I should know! Is it a bastardisation of “canards”, to mean something like “male duck wankers”?
I’m guessing the stags are Brits. Sorry. I apologise on their behalf for all the noise and vomit.

That reminds me of that French author (Georges Perec) who wrote a whole book without the letter ‘e’ … and then a sequel in which the only vowel used was ‘e’! Can’t imagine how difficult that would be!

Toby - I’d translate it to wanker really, simply because I love that particular swear word. As a Brit, I felt the need to apologise too!
SG - Oh my God, that sounds nigh on impossible! But it’s a challenge anyway - how did he do it without feminine adjectives? And the sequel - scary! I have to read this. And some Chick Lit at the same time, I think!
