It was this man who first introduced me to the wonderful writing of Alphonse Allais some 20 years ago.
And I thank him for it.

well, they all go one day ....

It is just disturbing that all the good ones leave, and I cannot consider most of the young ones good.

Awwww, quel dommage.

But c'est tres cool that he intro'd you to those writings.

But Hertz does not have a strange accent on the English part of those Franglais sentences.

layball:

Are you trying to tell me he doesn't have an accent?

Alex_B · Feb 1, 2008

Errm, I was only talking about what I assume Hertz's English sounds like!

I was not making any reference to your .... uuuhhhmm ... voice!

Nice recovery there, 'Hair Doctor' (in keeping with the franglais theme)

She's Canadian and I've met Anty so I can reveal that she does have a strong French-Canadian accent, eh?

But that was Ginglish!

I do NOT say 'eh?' at the end of (most) sentences. I even asked Tempra if he heard me say it at all and he admitted he had not. So there.

(Funnily enough, one of the written french 'accents' would be pronounced 'eh-gu', which makes me think of those awesome desserts which i could NOT find when I went into the only Tesco I came upon last weekend. I was NOT a happy camper. Couldn't find Lingham's sauce or HP Worcestire's curry flavoured sauce either. What's the world coming to??)
