Limmy at speakers corner lol
The thing about the french is, don't even bother. they don't appreciate when you try to speak their language. Bit like the scotch
Weewee
Oui je me souviens ça Limmond, tu étais terre a terre et TRÈS rigolo.
turned the wine against us
Repose en paix Benoît Le Havre
Imagine if you replied to him in perfect French. Called him out for being rude and even corrected his grammar, lol.
Had the very same thing happen at a busy pub in Paris. Had the piss taken out of me by a barman and waitress while ordering in french…..They almost patted me on the head and spoke back in english….
Later in the holiday, went into a tiny cafe run by a woman on her own. Menu in french. She had zero english. We struggled to order. When she came back with the drinks, i attempted my rusty school french and explained to her I studied the language at school for afew years but I hadnt practiced it after that…
The reaction was amazing. She was thrilled…. "Ahhhhh, you speak French" and started babbling at me at 100mph. I couldnt get most of it. But she was very nice and couldnt do enough for us after that.
Moral of story: In Paris, some people are pricks, Some arent. Just like every other kip in the world.
should have come straight back at him with some pure Glaswegian.
Saying "bonjour", "merci" and "vin rouge" isnt trying lol. Actually trying to learn the language is trying. Just speak English if thats all you know.
"Comme d'hab le rosbif ne parle pas français"
Another reason why the old jock no longer leaves the house…
Spweak pwoper Fwench like the Engwish.
Love how Limmy's default assumption is that someone is taking the piss out of him lol
If it's any consolation to Limmy, when French people hear a Scot attempt to speak French, their assumption tends to be that the person in question is German, rather than English (they never guess Scottish).
Maybe she was the owner and the employee wanted to make a show of how good his customer service is, in front of her?
He has a low opinion of the French if he thinks they would mistake his thick Jockcent fror an English accent
As the French say, out of you taken was piss
Jenny poo, poo par-Ray? MON-SURE!
Savez – vous quelle langue ils parlent au Brésil?
I studied French and lived there for a year teaching. I promise you, he won't have been takin the piss. They really appreciate even the slightest genuine attempt to say anything in their language while you're there, even if it's just hello, thank you etc. He just wanted to try and express some sort of appreciation but didn't know the English and hoped you'd get the vibe. Little did he realize, Scottish blokes are paranoid.
'Parlay', that's betting, aye parlay's like a bet, the waiters asking about bets, that's what he was saying.
En tant que fan de Limmy qui habite en France ça me fait plaisir
My guess is he's said "je vous en prie, passez une excellente journée"
As often they do- as in you're welcomd have a good day.
Said fast it could unsettle you a bit
Mic is disgusting, looks saliva drenched…
He can barely speak English so bless him for trying french
The trick is to learn how to say, I can speak X but havent bothered to learn French, in about 10 different languages and then when your done, in french, just say, who gives a fuck about french?
