Easymo, when I'm your age, I will be retired, and I'll be walking around a trout pond, running the trouts thoughts inside my head.  I will look around inside of it, while its swimming. Watch how everything is moving, and figure out what has gone wrong. Then I will change tackle, and attack.  :)

Au fait, d'ou vient ton niveau en français ?  
Car franchement il est rare de voir des "étrangers" s'exprimer aussi bien !

Hehe tout a fait, vol, degustation et visite est un plan ideal :)

Mon niveau en français... haha trop gentil... bon, c'est plus facile écrire que parler ;)

J'ai étudié le français à l'école et a l'Institut Français de Barcelone. Si j'ai le temps j'essaierai de faire l'exam du DELF l'anné prochaine.

À bientôt!

Daniel

PD: Je serai en Bordeaux du 2 de setembre au 5, par si tes affaires te portent par là ;)

Non je ne serais pas a Bordeau à ce moment :(

Domage car j'y ai de la famille une prochaine fois peut être ...
Par contre si tu passe du coté de Paris je suis à moins d'une heure en train la porte est ouverte :)

Quand à ton niveau en français je t'assure qu'il est tres bon !
En tout cas plus que largement compréhensible ... plus que mon espagnol que je j'ai appris sur le tas :D

Je te file mon email au cas ou : frederic.de.jager@free.fr

I have a knack for pissing people off. It's great- I can actually control someone's blood pressure simply by talking to them. On Furball Central one time I had a guy willing to fly from Connecticut to California just to kick my ass.

I was born with this wonderful gift of irritation. I spent so much time in grade school with my nose against the chalkboard I have a permanent flat spot on the tip of my nose. As much as Easymo can look at a piece of machinery and realise how it works and how to fix it I can look inside someone's head and know just how to screw it up.

Now to illustrate just how good I am at this I always stop just short of the point where I'm about to be pummeled. All my teeth are original equipment, and usually my "target" is left standing there, shaking, angry and empty inside as I shuffle off chuckling in search of my next victim.

This is a wonderful Gift and I thank God for my irritationalability every day. I think God blessed me with this gift because I make Him laugh and He likes me more than he likes any of you.

Sorry Elfen, thats not a talent, thats called "Sacramento Residency".  True, your a natural, but not an uncommon trait for a Californicator.

I expected more of you to have a knack for computers.  My knack does not extend to electronics.  I have studied it out of necessity. My machines are computer driven. So I have to fix that aspect of them.  But I cant "see" how they work. I just pull cards until I get the right one.  Its all very boring.

  Also I refuse to do wood.  I hate woodworking. There is no precision to it.  A 2 by 4. Is neither 2" or 4".  My nabor is very good with wood.  Makes all kinds of things. I don't know how he does it. On the other hand, he got a free mower bed , and couldn't figure out how to make a simple pulley system to adapt it to his brand of tractor. He has no sense of leverage, at all.

My knack is computers... and just about anything with machined parts.

If I can take it apart, I can put it back together. Doesn't necessarily have to be broken for me to take it apart either. Sometimes they are broken when I put them back together though. :)

Lazs- comic gold.

Animal- hehe

Funked- you looked that word up... no man that publishes a picture of his car with a vanity plate has ever seen one up close. ;)
