I'm back!

I know this will dissapoint some of you, but I'm back.

It's been a bit fucking manic to say the least over the last month, with a
few massive jobs finishing & trips here there & everywhere..

Went on a 40th to Benidorm for four days, said i would never go again 16
years ago, how right i was. What a fucking dump full of fucking the
trashiest cunts on planet earth. First night, as you do, we got utterly
fucking spannered & managed to find ourselves in some godforesaken hole of a
late night bar were some **** tried to dip me, but i felt his hand just
going into my front pocket, so i grabbed his hand & turned it right round so
he coulnt move & nutted the **** right on the nose

He didnt get my wallet, but he did get my (£20 throwaway) phone, the little
****. He also got a bloody nose for his trouble..never seen anyone move so
fast in my life!

I didn't bother going to bed for four days, as it's just such a dump & i
didn't eat anything as chips dont float my boat.

I was glad to get home from that one..

Last weekend we were invited to a wedding in France, near Brive. I really
didn't know what to expect. We tipped up at the hotel to find it a great
restaurant & bar with a few of the chaps family sat having a few beers
already. As they are Irish we had to join them in a few beers....

Wedding the next day, in a church god knows where, but it looked amazing.
French weddings are a bit different to the UK, the bride goes in first &
they sit down in big armchairs, with the groom walking up the aisle!

Then to the place we stayed at for the meal...holy shit, elevty five courses
& every one fucking amazing, gallons of top quality champers, wine & the
food was just amazing.

Then, the reception at the brides family home..

The house was just like the one in the wedding scene from the godfather,
fucking amazing isnt the word, set in rolling countryside with views to die
for. The brides parents dont speak English & our French is shit, but we got
on like a house on fire, turns out he built the house himself to house his
collection of vintage cars...that were underneath in some bunker type
affair - wow! four or five vintage motors of some serious value i reckon.

He was chucking wine, champers, anything you wanted at you..not being too
well i didn't go mad, but some of the Irish did with comedy results

I have never been made to feel more welcome anywere in my life & we
certainly didn't want to come home from that.

So, you'll have to put up with me again

neither do you.

French weddings are great!

I went to one many years ago, just outside Calais. It started about
1pm, with several ceremonies, one involving the mayor IIRC (some red
tape stuff as the groom was a Brit), took a couple of hours and the
reception was straight after.

I'd blagged a lift from some locals so was one of the first there. It
took almost two hours for the bride to get back there (god knows why!)
so we spent the waiting time drinking champagne. Then the meal
started. I say "meal" - it was 15 courses, with (I had been
pre-warned) the final course of French onion soup scheduled for 3.30am.
There was at least half an hour between course, with the "party"
continuing in between each, not the "sit down and eat loads followed by
drinking & music" we get here.

Luckily I'd paced myself to be sure of making the last course.
Unfortunately, so few people were up for it, that they cancelled it. I
was compensated by more champagne.

Jeez, I was pissed. Happy days.... )

 

Limousin hospitality at its best. Glad you enjoyed the Corrèze.
A lot of houses round there have a ground floor basement/garage with
steps up to the living accommodation.

I see there is a newly opened airport at Brive. Only direct flights from
London City at the moment. It will be interesting to see if Ryanair go
there for the 'Dordogne' traffic now they have pulled their
Stansted-Angouleme route.

It was utterly stunning.

We had to go to Limoges via fucking Ryanair, from fucking Liverpool..only
becuase of times etc.

NEVER again, Ryanair is utterly fucking shit, makes the trains to the
concentration camps look inviting.

I haven't flown out for quite a while, but at least Limoges is quite a
decent little airport these days.

We might give Flybe a try next time we need to fly (or more likely just
SWMBO and the lad), but they only fly there from Southampton in the
winter, which is a bit of an epic for us to get to and from by train,
unlike Liverpool.

It's too small for the amount of flights it had going through...

You should have seen it seven years ago. Not so many flights, but
basically a shed.

Soton is a nice airport to use. Small, relatively quiet, no big queues.
Most of the planes using it are under 100 seats. I flew from there in a
Bombardier 50 seater to Austria.

I used a car to get there, and parked at the Concorde Jazz Club

 

Sounds like you fitted right in.
