Hé hé... Alors je ne suis pas le seul à batailler furieusement pour ne pas passer pour l'imbécile de service... Bon à savoir !

Salutations bretonnes ami d'outre-Atlantique !

ahaha non pas toujours évident de défendre une opinion en anglais

STOP IT!!!

lol you fucking drunk.

kidding. my uncle is big on wine and my family has a small business selling wine and spirits to restaurants and stuff.

Hé, ho !
Je n'y suis pas encore moi !

Et je crois qu'il vaut mieux que nous continuions en anglais... Comme tu le sais, si les francophones ne sont pas doués en langues, les anglophones, dans leur pédante assurance, sont encore pire !

English?

Yup, I think it will be better this way Anyway, it's an english forum. WE will keep our french conversation in private
