Me too! Dont worry - despite the french inability to organise a pi** up in a brewery - they do seem to have the ticket process down to a fine art :) :)

Re: 2010 FIFA World Cup

I am living in France at the moment and our house is next door to a wine cave. The owner is french and her husband is portugese. It always makes for some interesting times when the world cup is on and not much sleep on the nights France are playing. Guess I should hide my Union Jack for a while........

Re: Reporting in on Anna Maria Island

Anna Maria Island has been my favourite place for 14 years now and no matter how many times I go I never grow tired of it. We were there recently on a day trip from Orlando.

Re: French Fries

As a true Brit...... it has to be salt and malt vinegar...............
