Not by the look of it, 28 if possible then. That's a perfect number.

Shot while you sleep? Have they gone soft? At least two weeks in a damp cellar with electrodes on your nads, a light tenderising with a baseball bat and a bit of waterboarding before disappearing in various chunks used to be standard just for a parking offence. Looks like Saudi has them beat all ways up. :lol:

Is there anywhere easy to to see a table of how things are going? It's a bit cryptic on this thread, but I'm not watching it and don't know when things are on, so am a bit confused!!!

TBF I've spent so much time searching for stuff on Google and not finding it because I'm not asking the right question, that, in general, I ask for help instead!!

I would think now you have to work with it it should all click into place better. You can go back to that bakers shop with the sarcastic lass behind the counter and tell her what you think in fluent French soon enough :D

It will. Even just in the four days I've been working, I can read and write better. Struggling to understand my colleague but she's a lot younger than me and the boss, so I suspect her phrasing is very different, and I think she has a different accent!!

And no - I'm going to speak to the snotty cow in English and in French to everyone else :lol: :lol: I can be just as much of a dick as she can, but if she can't understand Chocolat Chaud s'il vous plait, then there is no hope!! LOL :1 :1 :lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't know much about football but the Japanese are great at industry, sushi, motorbikes etc. so they're probably great at football too!
Yay - I was right :)
