Gone

Grandad August 28th, 2008

The staff have been laid off.

A note has been left out for the milkman.

The hounds have been unleashed.

I’m gone.

God help France.

As you are now a tourist, what does this mean for your safety and well-being. Enjoy.

Many will miss you, but be careful others may be better marksmen.

Thank f*ck for that. Thought the old fart would never leave. Right guys, all round to his manor, it’s parteeeeeeeee time.

I sort of believe the old fart about the hounds though. They’ve been trained to use the ammo no doubt.

Anyboby remember Bonnie Tyler “Lost in France” ?

Is the chain on the gate to keep us (or any other beings with dubious rollicking gate-crashing intentions) out, or is to keep poor Sandy in??
# TheChrisD on 28 Aug 2008 at 8:28 pm

@kae: Why would we need fake ID’s? I’m sure some of us are over 18.

Or is it just me?
# kae on 28 Aug 2008 at 8:50 pm

@TheChrisD - a fake ID would make me feel younger!

Grandad,
By all that is holy stay down wind from the wine-sipping, smelly cheese eating, hands-up-in-the-air French!
# K8 on 29 Aug 2008 at 1:32 am

Ummm… no party. I just blew up the oven. No I didn’t. I just discovered the booze stash. Every woman for himself… if you can find me, you’re welcome to share in the destruction, if you can get past the dogs/barmen.

Chain’s not on his property but rather his neighbors. He locked up his manor alright and gave K8 the key (had a weak moment he did) and then he chained up his neighbor’s gate while they were sleeping.

[...] explorer cannot display this web-page’. And what’s worse, my hairy web-guru, Grandad, has gone on his holliers and won’t be back for ages. So you’ll just have to do without my sparkling repartee [...]

Have a good one big fella.

That’s right, in a glaringly over-familiar gesture i have decided to call you ‘big fella’. Enjoy it.
# Chris on 31 Aug 2008 at 3:46 pm

have a wonderful trip and enjoy ya-self
# English Mum on 31 Aug 2008 at 8:57 pm

Come back…

I have a glitch that needs, er, unglitching….

*sigh*
# Jayne on 01 Sep 2008 at 3:46 pm

Bugger, I was in Ireland on the 28th, up at Johnnie Fox’s in fact & would’ve gladly left if I’d known you lot were going to gategrash the Manor! *sigh*
Grandad, I hope you & the missus have a lovely time in France I’ve just had a wonderful week in & around Greystones & surprise, surprise, it only rained ONCE!
# tt on 01 Sep 2008 at 6:38 pm

Happy Labor Day guys.
# Ian on 03 Sep 2008 at 10:07 pm

Grandad,

I got home from France last night. (I have an ambition to one day drive to the ferry port and say, ‘Nah, can’t be bothered to go home’ and turn the car around and head south again. My daughter describes this as ’sad’).

It’s miserable here - it’s cold and raining and the country has gone bankrupt since you left. If I were you I would take a winter’s lease. If nothing else, Carla Bruni is much pleasanter on the television than any of the Irish politicians.
# Jefferson Davis on 04 Sep 2008 at 6:57 am

Have a grand holiday in France, Grandad. (turns up glass of ‘Merkan Guinness)
# Edladd on 11 Sep 2008 at 12:05 pm

This was the first post I read here - it sounded so final I thought you were packing in the blogging!!

A quick look through the last few days worth of posts put paid to that luckily enough. Keep up the good work lad, it’s a good read. And enjoy the break, we’ll make sure and keep some rain for you.
