{OT} You Know You're Getting Old ...

.... when, whilst talking to a bloke who lives in your old street, his
brother strolls by, who, when introduced to you, says, 'Bonjour,
Monsieur...'

**** ... :-(

 

<sigh>

 

Good shrug. I could almost feel the accent. BTW, how would one address a
younger gentleman?

If you say so .........................

 

Ah, but can you see the Gauloise ..?

'Salut !'

 

<sigh> indeed.

This is, auvache keeps telling us, an English language newsgroup.
Not everyone is a polyglot and so quite a few of us haven't got
a damn clue what your point is.

 

You know your problem, don't you Des.... You're getting old mate

Bloke is ~19, so I'd estimate brother at ~16 - 18.

Bloke introduced me as 'Mr Civil Servant', so that probably didn't help
matters ...

 

Anyway, the 'counter' in this Cybercafé says 0.80 EUR, and I only have a 2
EUR coin left on me, so get your Pointless, 'We-Hate-Des, Can-We-Get-Into-
Level-I ?' flames in now, and I'll sod off, withdraw some cash, and come
back in here tonight, to read them.

 

*nice*

 

*nice*

I especially like the deliberate non-use of accents...

You've got a matter transporter? Is it brown?

Oi! Christofire! Sort your encoding out; that came through as
a mime encodered article.

 

wee mur shure.

 

It was a sort of 'dear diary', pointless, off-topic post, a sort of 'musing
out loud' ... you know, the sort of post that gets made on
oh, roughly once every 90 minutes by other posters.
Strangely enough, it only seems to generate so much invective, when the
poster's name is 'Desmond Coughlan'.

 

LOL ... this one gets my vote for best follow-up ...

Oh, and Auvache: you're a ****.

 

Would anyone have believed me if I hadn't ..?

Indeed.
