Anyone here live in France and like football?

[blindswelledrat]

Like some kind of cretin I have booked my holiday for hte opening 2 weeks of the football season.
Do you get premiership football on terrestrial French TV or not?
How do you watch football?
What the hell am I going to do?

Place has sky?

I was about to pour scorn upon this comment, but I have just looked and the house has a " Sky Digibox " whatever that means.
Im guessing it doesn't have sky sports, but do you think it will pick up terrestrial UK channels?

I have a funny feeling that all the people whining about me wanting to watch football on holiday are exactly the sort of people who sit there on thier iphones posting on Facebook, boasting about what a good holiday they are having sitting in the sun posting on facebook.

ANyway. it's a fair point but the bottom line is that with 3 young children, once they are in bed you are trapped. Watching match of the day for an hour a week is hardly going to ruin anything

Good hit.

Oh, you've only gone and done it.
He has posted that on every thread I have ever posted on, for the past year, in the hope that one day, just someone would acknowledge him.
Up until now everyone in the world has thought "why does he always do that. Its not funny or clever. Wasn't yesterday. Wasn't the day before ad infinitum.

Anyway- to cut a long story short, this means that you have exactly the saem sense of humour as MBH. You are equally funny.

Cancel it.
There really is nothing in france worth going there for. IMO

Are you one of those Holiday makers that go on holiday to sunbath and drink lots of beer?

And scour the local towns for an Irish pub like back home in England.

Exactly- and making wildly exagerrated arm flapping omvements in front of my nose shouting "fking garlic" every time a French person walks past.

[blindswelledrat]

No, Im arguably even worse.
Im one of those English people who, having a slight amount of education, believes he can make an attempt to communicate in French. However- although I know some words I have an impossibly English accent to my French.

"Je Voodray urn bagget et twa crossants sil voos plait"

Everything I say in French is met by a confused stare, for me to tut and mutter "Christ-these French don't even speak French" to myself before making a show of rethinking how to phrase the question and saying exactly the saem thing in an even more English accent but with a note of irritation in it.

Unless your first name is Gerry and surname is McCann?

True.
This time next year I will do the same thread and say

"Anyway, it's a fair point but the bottom line is that with 2 young children once they are in bed you are trapped"
