lol I don’t do jogging

it is very funny to see how many idioms are the same in France as in the UK but with a slight difference

For example a swallow does not a summer make in France is a spring does not a spring make

Yes your Honour I was drunk…

Eurotunnel is a bit like being exported in a crate but it only takes 35 minutes

I am 55 panda and I am enjoying growing old disgracefully
