It Doesnt Feel Like Sunday!

[Caran]

I havent got any newspapers today, so no crosswords. It feels awful. Maybe tomorrow we are going to a city so hopefully we may get Sundays papers as they are always a day behind. But of course they cost twice the price, but i dont care, if i can get them i will.

[joggerjayne]

Noo, leave them alone !!

[retrocop]

Course not silly. In France it is Dimanche so you won't find Sunday papers. :-)

Evening, Caran.....do crosswords on your lappy......have a good day tomorrow.....Gx

[Caran]

i love my Sunday papers, i start my crosswords about 1.00pm and carry on through the day until ive done all the Mail and all the Express ones, I send in at least 4 of them.
I hate using OH laptop, it doesnt do automatic punctuation like my ipad so things look sloppy.

[Caran]

can't do it gness. I struggle as it is with OH laptop.

There is one paper published in France on Sundays, Le Journal de Dimanche.

[Caran]

Jackdaw wouldnt that be in French?

[Caran]

i am not really crosswordless (If there is really such a word) I have an envelope of old puzzles that have been a life saver for many years. some of them are 10 years old but we keep going with them. i add to them also when i get a backlog. But I miss the Sunday ones.

[Jackdaw33]

It would indeed. Also, the correct title is Le Journal du Dimanche. Haven't tried their crozzie, though. I know my limitations.

// Jackdaw wouldnt that be in French? //

Mai oui, naturellement.

[Caran]

And I know mine too!

[Jackdaw33]

Mais, dear, not Mai.

[joggerjayne]

Oh poop, I hate it when that happens.

(wonders whether to blame iPad for own linguistic shortcomings?)

[Caran]

definitely blame ipod JJ, it hasnt a clue.

[joggerjayne]

// definitely blame ipod JJ //

yup!

Why I remember Le Journal du Dimanche is because 30 years ago I was stopped on the Paris Metro for having an invalid ticket. The inspectors take no prisoners (though they do take bribes). I tried to talk my way out of a fine by saying, "Me Eengleesh, me no parly Frenchee", at which point one of the inspectors said, "Then why have you got a copy of Le Journal du Dimanche under your arm?" I had no answer to that.

[Caran]

why had you Jackdaw?

[joggerjayne]

// Then why have you got a copy of Le Journal du Dimanche under your arm?" //

I've just, err, had poison avec, err pomes frites ???

[joggerjayne]

Pommes

...because I'd been reading it. Had I been quicker off the mark I should have said, "Papier de toilette, je suis pauvre".
