Alors, Anita, c'est tres amusante! On giggle et giggle. Mais le pauvre Jason! Et pas des fleurs! Quel horreur!
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong of me to be giggling so much reading this when Jason's car is "stuffed"?
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I 'ope ze problem eez fixed soon!

Si, pas des fleurs, pas des chocolats... Il est completement fache et c'est la faute de Peugeot. Ma jour de la Saint Valentin est gache!
ReplyDeleteIz a sh*tty valentines! xx
You are freaking hilarious I may rarely comment but I always read and always where a grin when done.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Poor you. Your french is very like Acadian french here.

Jason needs to man up. Why the hell did he buy Puegeot in the first place? What was he thinking? It is a bit of a chicks car isn't it? I always visualised Jason in something more manly ... and cool ... like a 1960s ute or somthing similar ... not some daggy try hard Puegeot sports car.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Do what I did for Valentines Day and go out and buy your own flowers.
Vous écrivez FrOz! C'est bon, trés drole! J'éspére que les bonhommes de Peugeot relent.
ReplyDeleteHahaha!!! Clever! Laughing at Anonymous too!
ReplyDeleteThis is probably the funniest thing you've written!
ReplyDeleteEuropean cars. What good have they ever done?
Yours is tearing your family apart. You may need a European piece of furniture instead.
My heart goes out to you at this time.xo
I think anonymous got it right, Jason needs a good and proper ute!
ReplyDeleteHa! Anonymous, you've been reading poor Jason's mind. He's thinking a dual cab hi-lux so we can all go to the tip together... en famille! xx
ReplyDeleteHilarious as always! ;-)
ReplyDeleteToo funny. He should have bought a Saab!
ReplyDeleteOh noes! Or should I say Mon Dieu o' non!
ReplyDeleteAlso, who else had to read this out loud? Brilliant!
Hilarious! Still laughing. Sorry Jason.
ReplyDeletex KL
Mon dieu ! Fantastique!
ReplyDelete(bloody cars!!)
Jason, get rid of it it's a girls car!
ReplyDeleteSacré bleu!! The renovating mojo 'is gone??!!
ReplyDeleteTout de suite Peugot, feex 'is car!!
Merde, dont bugger up the reno's mate!
Anita I could hardly read this as I was laughing so much. v.funny. However, I feel Jason's pain (oh and yours too!) We too have a Peugeot and I curse it nearly every day - it is a lemon and I hate it but have spent too much money on it I can't bring myself to sell it. And guess what - my air con broke last week too! I hope it is back on the road, keeping jason cool, very soon. Karen ps - the house is looking fantastic. pps - our other car is a twin cab ute!!
ReplyDeleteI think you need a funny warning so I don't spit-laugh coffee everywhere . . .
ReplyDeleteYou kill me.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! love it!
ReplyDeleteIs that second last anonymous mr Rooney? It sounds like mr Rooney. There are some blokes that can drive utes and look suitably manly, sorry but Jason is not one of them. This car despite its recent troubles was a sort of match for poor jas and his hand tailoring get ups but I still say his perfect match is an Austin Martin.
ReplyDeleteMr FF mucked around with 2 alpha romeos before he drew a line in the sand and benz'ed it up. I understand that Jason, like Old Mr FF might be worried about the aging effects of a merc but those things Will Go The Distance. And they have comfy seats. Just saying x
ReplyDeleteOh mon Dieu!! As a previous owner of not one but three french cars, I feel your pain Madame..
